Change
变化
It is no doubt that every one may experience some changes in his or her life. It seems to me that the most unforgettable change happened 3 years ago. At that time,I just completed my senior high school and was admitted to a university far away from my hometown. To be frank, my parents did not want me to study in other cities because I was the only child in the family. They worried whether I could live independently. They kept on persuading me to choose one close to my home. But I thought I was coshered and just needed some challenges. I told them that I was fully confident in myself. After many talks and even arguments,I really convinced them by my strong mind and selected a university far away from my hometown. Last month,when I went back home and talked about this issue with my parents, they all thought that I learned much from studying in a faraway place and they believed I had made a smart decision.
毫无疑问，每个人都经历了生活中的一些变化。对我来说，最难忘的变化发生在3年前。那时，我刚高中毕业，准备报考的大学离家很远。说实话，因为我是家中的独子，我父母不想让我到其他城市上大学。他们担心我不能独立生活。还一直劝我选个离家近的大学。但我觉得我从小娇生惯养，正需要一些挑战。我告诉他们我对自己充满信心。经过多次的交谈甚至是争吵，我终于用坚定的意志说服了他们。我选择了一所远离家乡的大学。上个月，当我回家时，我还和我父母谈起这件事，他们都觉得我在远方读书能学到很多东西，还认为我当时的决定是明智的。
