Do it myself

To begin with, I do think I have my own value and principles. The ability of distinguishing between right and wrong is playing an indispensable part nowadays. With the rate of crime is getting increasingly, more and more people gradually pay attention to these traits. I am no exception. Before I make decisions or judgments, I always ask myself if it is appropriate or precise again and again. Although the influences made by friends and circumstances are great, I will do my utmost to overcome it and do whatever is true for me. Moreover, I will manage not to skip classes in the coming years. Perhaps, most of you may not agree with me and even laugh at me. However, I still want to do it myself. That is my principle: being responsible for my duties

  1. Hi, Alfee. First of all, I’m glad that as a freshman, you’ve already developed your own values and have your own principles. I remember when I was a freshman, I was still a gullible person, easily persuaded by other people. Thus, I often skipped classes and went out having fun with them. But as time went by, I gradually developed my own values and principles, and became more and more consistent and abiding to my own beliefs. When people tried to challenge my beliefs I would always try my best to defend them. What’s more, starting from my sophomore year, I literally skipped no class because I wanted to get high grades to qualify as a double major, but the price was that I really missed a lot of fun things with friends. So it’s very good to hear that you will try your best no to skip class, but I think sometimes we just need a break. Holding on to your own principle without thinking carefully its consequences makes one a stubborn person; we need to be consistent, but learning to be flexible is also important. So if you’re really stressed, I think skipping a class or two to adjust and recharge yourself isn’t a bad thing.

  2. To be honest, I really agree what you said. Sometimes, being flexible towards matters is indispensable as well. If we demand us exceedingly, the initial passion inside our heart may flee away. Therefore, I will take your advice and manage to adjust my pace. For the time being, I still can not strike a balance between my school works and extra activities. Even worse, my schedule of assignment was often behind the established one. I do think it is time for me to reflect my deeds and to come up with a solution to it. Otherwise, it will be like downward spiral so that the condition may become even worse. Of course, I will tell myself my values and principles all the time, and I will do all I can to stick to it.
