TO CHERISH WHAT I HAVE

I felt very sad because my mother scolded me for my indifference to English. Day in and day out, there's nothing that I hear but my mother yelling at me. Sometimes I want to shout back but what's the use? I might just get slapped. When I really can't stand it anymore, I sometimes get out of the house in order to breathe some fresh air. On the way to the park, I met an old friend of mine. Now he 's a worker in a factory. He said his family has been in difficulties. So he had to quit school, go out and make a living. I couldn't find the right words to tell him how sorry I was to hear that. There was really nothing much I could to do help. When we said goodbye to each other, I felt ashamed of all what I had. I'm glad that I still have my family. I don't have to worry about financial problems and I can continue going to school. I should make the best of what I have because nothing will last forever. What I have today might not be mine anymore tomorrow. So I should live each day to its fullest. In whatever I do, I should do my best. I should also love those people around me more. It's so sad to know how cruel fate can be. No matter how good you are, there are no guarantees in life that everything will go your way, are there? I went home right away and wrote this entry in English, of course. I also talked to my mom that I will try to study English better. You and me will try together, ok? "No pains, no gains"
