Response #3 Are you a reader?

          This is quite an interesting topic. Im a kind of person who used to hate reading books. The reason is simple, because it consists of too many words and Im a lazy girl haha. But couples of years ago, I changed my mind. I did not change it naturally, things happen for reasons, rite?^^
           At that time, I prefered movies to books because I can just lie in the bed, eat my snack and enjoy my favorite movies. One day, my professor gave me an assignment. That was a difficult task for me : reading the book namely " The last lecture" by Randy Pausch, and then, I had to write my thoughts about that book. At first, I read that book just because that was my responsibility, I had no choice. Yet, after reading few pages, I was absolutely interested of its contents. The book is about the process of fighting with cancer of a professor. It sounds sad but he faced to this misfortune with the optimistic view and he told his life story in the humorous way.
          Honestly, I learned a lot from this book, especially I admired the legacy that he left for his 3 kids. That is not about money, real estate or anything physical, it is "The last lecture" he taught. I dont know if this book is well-known in the Us or not, but this is the very good book for me. What I gained from this book is noone can against destiny, but what you left behind after you are gone is the most important.

Response#3 Dream Job

           I have had so many dream jobs so far. For example, I used to wanna be a doctor to help poor patients, a chef to cook delicious food for my family or even a super hero to save mankind from alien^^( it sounds crazy I know but every kid dreams that, right?). But actually, when I was a little girl, there was two genres of job I wanted to involve in.
         First, when I aged at about 6 or 7, I was crazy about being a celebritiy, a singer to be exact.  Because I could sing and dance at that time, I loved to step on the stage to perform and gained the compliment. What's more? Children are usually genius in their parents' eyes, so my parents were big fans of mine whenever I had the performance in elementary school. They encouraged me and shouted my name  when I was stepping on the stage. It created my childhood's sweet memory I can tell.
          And then, when I was growing a little older, I really wanna be a teacher. The main reason is just simple, I thought teacher was the most powerful peron in class, everyone had to follow her instruction, without any excuse. She could give this student an A, the other a B if she wants to, so it's cool, right:")
         Unfortunately, at the time when I had to choose my main major for University, I was panic because I realised that I absolutely didn't have any passion (except for watching movies and go shopping haha). That's the reason why I had to satisfy my parents' wishes: Being a pharmnacist.
