Modesty helps people to go forward.

       When I was child, I was interested in math. I always read the math textbook and do a lot of exercises. So sometimes, I didn't like listening the math class. Because I have learned before my teacher taught us. At that time, my classmates always asked me some questions about the math. I could taught them how to solve these problem and this made me very proud of myself. However, my mother thought it is bad for me. She thought I was cocksure about the math. Maybe one day, I will meet big problem in math. But in my mind, it will never happen.

         After a period of time, the math is becoming more and more difficult. Sometimes I also need to spend more time on solving the problem, nonetheless, I still thought I could handle the math and I didn't need to listen the math class. Finally, I got a bad score in my math final exam. The score made me cry the whole night.

          After that, I think my mother is right. We cannot make ourselves over confidence. Modesty is very important for us. Over confidence always make us cannot see our shortcomings. So we must keep modesty all the time. 



Rome wasn't built in a day

   This proverb is important in my life. When I was a child, my mother always told me, if you want to reach your  goal, you must do your best and insist on doing it. Because Rome wasn't built in a day. At that time, I cannot understand it clearly. Because I didn't have any goals, I just want to have a happy life. 
       As the time went by, I began to know what is the meaning of this sentence. When I was in my high school, we had a English speech competition. I joined in the competition and thought I can get a good rank. Because I started to learn English when I was 12. I had a lot of confidence to win the competition. I prepared the speech materials carefully, practiced every night. I let my mother sit in front of me, so when I did the practice, she can gave me some advice. Unsurprisingly, I got a good rank in the competition. I told my mother this good news and I began to know the meaning of Rome wasn't built in a day. 
        So this proverb give me a lot of encourage. I can do my best to reach my goal. Now, the most important thing for me is to get a good score in the GMAT exam. I hope I can reach this goal as soon as possible.

Lucy's blog

    Hello everyone! My name is Lixin Shen, and you can call me Lucy. I come from China. I have graduated from Heilongjiang University of Science and Technology. My major is accounting. I will apply for the master degree in CSUF.

    I came to America in last August. I think Fullerton is a beautiful city and I love here. But I don't like American food. Because the American food always have a big size. It is too much for me. I don't want to become fat! So keep healthy is very important for me.

    Besides that, I like Fullerton's weather. It always warm and sunny. I can see a lot of flowers in every season. This makes me very happy. One of my professor said "why the price of California's houses is expensive? Because you pay for the scenery which out of your window." I think it is true.

    Thanks.
