dance and who I was taking.Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worri
es.When I was graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth
grade and going onto college.For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote, "Enjoy your four
years...They go by fast." I remember not believing him then, but looking back...He was right.Those four
years shaped who I was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.
However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when
someone spoke of college I brushed it off.I wasn"t ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my
closest friends together and knowing what every single day was going to be like.Studying was something
I did only AFTER I nailed my halftime dance performance.I knew my parents wanted me to go to
college, so I told them I would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn"t worry about my SAT
(美国大学入学考试) scores.
When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges, I started to
wish I had done the same.My friends were living away, meeting new people, and discovering new places, while I was living at home and driving to and from class every day.It seemed exactly like high school.I
hated it!I thought college was supposed to be different!Why didn"t I take more time to research colleges
and do the same?I ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus (大学校
园) atmosphere instead of two.
My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into
all of your choices well ahead of time.Now I have graduated and I am working fulltime and I would do
anything to go back to my high school days for a second chance!

| Living an Adventurous Life Nearly ten years ago, I was told that I had a brain tumor (瘤), and this experience changed my attitude about adventure forever. I thought that I was going to die and that all my adventures were over. I did not have a brain tumor, it turned out, but rather multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化症), which meant that, although they were not over, the nature of my adventures could have to change. Each morning that I wake up is a fresh event, something that I might not have had. Each gesture that I make carries the weight of uncertainty and demands significant attention: buttoning my shirt, changing a light bulb, walking down stairs. I might not be able to do it this time. If I could not delight in them, they would likely drown me in anger and in self-pity. I admire the grand adventures of others. I read about them with interest. With Peter Matthiessen I have hiked across the Himalayas to the Crystal Mountain. I have walked with Annie Dillard up, down, into, and across Tinker Creek in all seasons. David Bain has gone with me along 110 miles of Philippine coast, and Ed Abbey has rowed me down the Colorado River. I enjoy the adventures of these courageous figures, who can strike out on difficult trips - 2 miles, 250 miles, 3000 miles - ready to bear cold and tiredness, indeed not just to bear but to celebrate. But as for me, I can no longer walk very far from the armchair in which I read. Some days I don"t even make it to the backyard. And yet I"m unwilling to give up the adventurous life, the difficulty of it, even the pain, the anxiety and fear, and the sudden brief lift of spirit that makes a hard journey more attractive. I refine adventure, make it smaller and smaller. And now, whether I am moving on my hands and knees across the dining room to help my cat, lying wide-eyed in the dark battling another period of sadness, gathering flowers from the garden, meeting a friend for lunch, I am always having the adventures that are mine to have. | ||||||||||||||||
