New Challenge in This Term
How time flies! Now I am a sophomore as if I were a freshman yesterday. Only when I see new comers undertake the military training do I realize that I am different from them. I can see their curiosity about the campus through their eyes. As for me, I have been in college for about one year and I have more new challenges in this term.
After one year’s study, I become more experienced and more familiar with my profession. I was elected as the minister in my association. It is really a big challenge to me. On the one hand, I should pay more attention to those new friends and attach more importance to make them feel at ease. On the other hand, I ought to balance the study and my club activities. For example, I have ten lessons in Monday; what’s more, I have two meetings at noon and at dusk. How busy I am!
Although I am in a dilemma, I still have faith in myself. I agree that it’s important to keep busy because doing nothing will easily to focus on the fatigue, and then you may lose patience. Anyway, some busy work can improve my skills, and I still have free time to relax myself. Time doesn’t wait! I’ll grasp this semester to make every day precious and unforgettable so as to enrich myself both physically and mentally.
The young generation has been labeled as the lost generation; young college graduates are unemployed, upset about debt and unable to find a promising career. It is not for everyone, but an increasing number of graduates have been forced into this situation, at the same time, they face new challenges.
First, the rising debt, lack of income and high house prices give the young generation great pressure, most of them can’t afford these, and have to live with their parents. Living with their parents makes the young generation loses certain freedom, like they have to go home at night and can’t have fun with friends. What’s more, the children are easy to depend on their parents; they don’t take responsibility of themselves. In the long run, it is not good for them.
Second, for those who remain unemployed for a significant period, remaining motivated can be the most important problem. Without jobs, people will feel depressed, they are easy to over think, and then give themselves much pressure, at last, they will lose hope of the word and be no longer motivated.
