B(2024.山东青岛第二中学月考)
Four years ago,life rewarded me for all the challenges I embraced in search of self-improvement. My spirits rose when I was selected to be in the Youth Exchange and Study (YES)programme and I realised that I was going to spend a full year in the United States.
Before that moment,living on the other side off the Atlantic had always equated-for a young Moroccan woman who had never set foot abroad-to an anxiety-free atmosphere,welcoming neighbours, and countless opportunities.Fortunately,my host community checked all these boxes.
My host mother went above and beyond to take care of my needs,my teachers were very accommodating with regards to myschool wor rk,and I could use my status as an exchange
student as an excuse when I needed a favour or
an exception.As a YES student,peers from so
many diverse backgrounds at school were
interested in getting to know me better.With all
this unique treatment,I thought to myself,
“ Hold on a second ! Is this what you came for?"
Even though my host community was so helpful
and welcoming,I realised that I was growing
too content with my life.I remembered that I
came to the United States for a challenge and
that I was determined to strengthen my
capacities.
To develop greater perseverance,I joined
my host school's swim team,eventhough I had
no prior experience in this sport.For over five
months,I walked myself--sometimes reluctantly
to swim practices.During those practices,I did
the best I could for three hours each day.
One of my best achievements that year was
competing in one of the biggest swim meets of
the year.From an outsider's perspective,it
might not seem like much,especially since I
didn't even win.However,I was never the
athletic type,nor have I ever been particularly
outstanding in terms of discipline and
commitment. Yet that was exactly what I
achieved.I gained discipline and I came to the
realisation that I do not need to be perfect at
everything that I try for the first time.
Growth can take many forms.In my case,
it took the form of a humid ceiling and an overly
tight polyester cap. Growth can only be
achieved by defying personal limits and breaking
free from comfort zones.This is not always a
glamorous process,but it always brings you
closer to a new and improved version of
yourself !
