Tang Ruohe, Class 20, Senior 2, Shenzhen Foreign Languages School Instructed by Ma Jia The thing I’m probably really passionate about is writing, not the articles we write in exams, but novels, mainly fiction. I’ve always loved reading, but it all happened when I was still in primary school. One day, I suddenly wanted to write my own story. At that moment, I knew I’d found my passion. Writing is such an amazing thing that I always feel refreshed after finishing a piece in one go. It helps me stay away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, allowing me to enjoy peace in a wonderland of literature. It’s astonishing to see words form into sentences then into chapters, and eventually became a full story, my own story. It only belongs to me, where my imagination flies freely without having to doubt what’s right and wrong. And it also gives me a great sense of satisfaction and achievement when others admire my work and empathize with it. Of course, I’ve encountered adversities, which, however, not only pushed me to broaden my imagination but also made me realize my drawbacks. I keep improving myself, therefore more happiness dawns on me, mixed with pride and determination. Writing has it all for me. It serenades my soul and I could not love it more. I would seize any chance to continue the thing I care most in the world. My passion will last forever and I know it for sure. |
