Self-Evaluation

  I am an optimistic girl, who always looks on the bright side. Nevertheless, I was shy when I was a little girl. I think that it is because I am the only child in my family and there is no one I can talk to except for my parents, so I seldom interacted with others on my own initiative; but , I become more and more active with age. Though I still feel a little uneasy when I come to a new environment, I am livelier now than I used to be.

  As to my hobbies, I usually read novels or listening to music after I finish my homework. Moreover, I can learn some English vocabulary when I listening to English songs or reading an English novel. What’s more, since my father often took me to play basketball or went jogging when I was an elementary school student, doing exercise has also been one of my hobbies. And I usually play volleyball, basketball or go jogging with my classmates after school. In addition, my junior high school teacher said, “Though it is important to study hard, we can’t study all the time without proper rest.” So, I balance my study time and my leisure time and it is also the way I release my pressure.

  When it comes to my attitude toward life, I think that whatever I do, I should carry out an undertaking from start to finish and never give up easily. Moreover, I believe that there is nothing that can’t be solved, which is also related to my maxim “Never give up.” As the proverb goes, “No pains, no gains.” After all, the way to reach my goal is just to try hard.
