  1. After graduating, I opened a cafe. I had thought that I would make a living if I open it. However, it was just a fancy. I did not know how difficult earning money is. It made me to lost a lot of money for 1 year. After my failure, I realized that there is nothing to earn money easyly. Although I lost money, I got experience that is more important than money.

  2. When I graduated form high school, I was looking for a good university. I found one and I intered it as a freshman.I did well in the first semester and I always got the highest grade in the quizzes.while I was going to get a great GPA I got my leg broken;therfore ,I missed the finals and I got a very bad GPA.thus,I dropped out for a year.then I went to another university and I graduated with a 3.87/4GPA. I got experience that if fail reaching your goal, you may have a better chance, but you shouldn't miss it.

  3. My mom says people learn until their last day. I learned throug the breaking up with my love. I believe that the breaking up is not the failure. It could make a person to change, not always good, but in my case, it led me a better person. Nothing was harder than to part with him, but after few years, i realized that the pain of parting lessened over the years.
    After that, i have learned about mind control.
    Sometimes, well-mind control makes me too positive person. however, people are same. Every people have pain, and something that never talk about. Breaking up with love was very painful, but now i know that was a vain. I believe the destiny. Therefore, if some situations that i cannot control approach, let it lie.. by destiny.... I feel like a fool when I rot about,,, because i am a good person, and i can be loved...

  4. Before I came to Houston, I had studied in Madrid for nine month.When I was there, I spent my time studying hard and I lost the opportunity of knowing Europe. My friends visited more places than I did. Now, I know that we have to make the best of every opportunity that we have in life. Maybe we have other responsibilities, but life is one and maybe we will not have the same chance again.I have learn to enjoy everything as much as possible.

  5. When I was a high school student, I liked mathematics and my scores was very good before 12 grade. However, when I was in 12 grade, my scores got a little worse. I really wanted to be a math teacher, but beacuse I didn't get a satisfactory math scores in the test for admission of university, I hesitated to major in mathematics. After all, I changed my major. After that, I had regretted my decision for seven years, and sometimes I dreamt that I was back high school student, so I transferred to another university and majored in mathematics. After 2years from the time that I entered the another university, in the end, I got a teacher's certificate and became a math teacher. when I was in 12 grade, I shouldn't have given up my dream, and I should have majored in mathematics in the university. Above all, I should have studied harder. If I had done that, I could have saved my time. However, through that experience, I got to know that the most important thing is keeping my dream and trying my best to come true it.

  6. When I was middle school I never used to study for my history classes, I didn't really like our teacher. once she gave us a test and i didn't know anything so I cheated from my friends paper (I'm embarrassed to say that) . Then we decided that every time I will study the first part of the book and she will study the second half ( I'm embarrassed more to say that ). Anyhow, after two weeks she caught us. She was very disappointed, and the thing that embarrassed me so much that she didn't send us to the principal and she didn't yell at us, she talked to us in a good and a nice way, she even made us cry. And my friend and I stopped cheating, and we really appreciated the nice way she talked to us. And i really learned my lesson thanks to my history teacher =)

  7. I have many experiences of failure. I did't enter the university I wished. I didn't enter the graduate school I wished. I didn' get a job I wished. Through those painful experiences, I learned the importance of patience and diligence. I also was frustrated with the fact that there are many things my ability and passion can't cover in the world. And I realized who I am and how I should live. Of course, there are still so many things I should learn. I don't know where the end will be. For now,I just want to live with doing my best day by day.

  8. My father was one of many people who got influences from the last ten years economic crisis. He failed from investing in stock market because he did not have much knowledge in investing. I learned from the situation that when one wants to do something, one has to have much knowledge in that, especially before doing investment. Therefore, I always do many researches and study much to have enough knowledge to do the things I want in order to prevent any mistakes as much as possible.
