God works in mysterious ways. I firmly believe
when god closes a door in front of you, he will open another door for
you. Although I am not a Christian, I can feel that God always arranges
a lot of amazing experiences in my life. To be honest, we can never
predict what will happen in the next moment.
Six months ago, holding my best friend』s hand, I was
so anxious about leaving for National Central University. The GLOBAL
VIEWS magazine had reported on the NCU English Department and said it
was an admirable institution. It would be a good place for fulfilling
my passion for English Literature, and I was very lucky to get in.
However, I have always been a very dependent child since my families and
friends have given me so much love and care. Packing my baggage, I
asked Mom who stood beside me, 『How can I leave you? How can I leave
Dad? I can』t imagine myself without Peggy』s (my best friend) company.
She has been studying in the same school with me since kindergarten.』
「Well, that is exactly what you should learn afterwards.」 「What I
should learn afterwards?」 Well, I really didn』t think that I would
learn anything from this. 」It would be a chance for you to grow up and
be independent.」 My dear mother told me.
With Mom』s tears and mine, I left for college. When
mom and dad walked out of my dorm, leaving me all alone, I suddenly
realized that I had to become more independent. There would be a lot of
new stuff waiting for me to learn in the next stage of my studying
career. A strong power came to me and encouraged me to get adapted to
the new life. Amazingly, I got used to the new place quickly. Everyday
I learned so many things and in the interaction with new schoolmates, I
made more and more friends. In a word, I am so thankful for this
opportunity to grow up so quickly. Now I have become more independent
and have more confidence in myself when dealing with the difficulties I
face.
After a semester, I have learned that leaving a
familiar place for a new place where I have never been is a 『challenge』,
not a terrible thing. Now I am willing to accept all kinds of new
experiences into my life without fear. Last but not least, I finally
understood my mother』s words. As the saying goes, God works in
mysterious ways. He really does, doesn』t he?
