Thinking in one of my experience——My second lecture in Miss Harrell’s class

Good morning, everyone!

　　Today, my topic is Thinking in One My of Experience. In my speech, I will share my experience of getting back home from school in a snowy day and some of my thinking in it.

　　It was the winter of 2008 while I was a high school student. As we know there was a heavy and terrible snow in the south of China. It lasted for about half a month. It caused a very huge influence on our life. And at that terrible period, it’s the end of the term. It meant that all the students must leave school to go back home. Because of the heavy snow, all the roads were covered with deep ice. It’s too smooth that people can’t walk on it easily. So of course, there were not any buses on the roads. If you want to go home, the only way is on foot. On a snowing morning, I decided to go home. It’s about 25 kilometers from my school to my home, including a long and rugged ghat over mountains. I carried 2 bags with me, one on my back, and the other on my hand. It’s really a long march. The bags were too heavy. The roads were hard to walk. The weather was so bad. And I had to climb over a big mountain alone, even there weren’t any birds. At last it took me four hours to arrive home. When I got home, I was so hungry, thirsty and tired that I couldn’t say a word.

　　So what can I learn from my experience? First no matter what you want to do, you must know your destination. At that time, my destination, the only destination is to go home. Although the condition was bad, the weather was cold, the bags were heavy, and the distance was so long. But it’s none of my business. I don’t care. I just want to go home. So if you want to do something, grasp the goal firmly and ignore other things. Then you can make it.

　　Second, you must believe yourself. At first, I really doubted whether I could get home because I was too weedy and it’s a long way full of difficulties. But I know that if you keep walking, even the longest distance is short for you. If I walk on and on, there must be a time that I can get where I want to go. I thought I could make it. At last I succeed. So often we find that we can make it only after trying it. In fact, all of us has the talent to do everything well. So believe yourself at any time.

　　So at the end of my speech, I want to say: if you only have one destination, nothing can stop you from getting it.

Thank you!
