What does music make me feel ?

When facing with this question, I think music is extremely important. It is everywhere, it can express every emotions from human-beings. If we are sad, we can listen to music to heal the hurt. In contrary, we can use music to interpret our happiness and exaltation.
Fortunately, I started to learn music when I was a young girl. For me, music like a kind of magic that can bring you to a lot of different artistic conceptions. Sometimes, you can not express your feeling by words or your phiz, but you can use music to say it. For example, when I was in high school, I went through for a really dark period. In that period, I can not find my way and whatever I paid efforts, it all did not work. I was so disappoint everyday. So I listen to lots of music, and play my cello in my room that the light were closed. In the music, I could feel that my heart is quiet and calm, I was not anxious or afflicted. So after that period, I realized what does music make me feel and what does it mean to me. When I play cello or just listen to music, I believe everything has significance to me.
To sum up, music gives me hope,joy and belief. I know there are number of kind of music that I do not play before, I want to use my whole life to understand different type of music.

What Do I Want to Achieve in my Life

When facing with this question that what do you want to achieve in your life, I remember when I was a little girl, I want to become a good teacher. In my childhood, I admired teachers extremely, because I think they are knowledgeable, dedicated and respected. And when I grow up, I am contacted with many professions, I know some musicians, employees in company, or some businessman. I found there are many professions that I am interested in. So I hope I can try to be touch with them. I believe a person has a lot of possibilities, especially when he is young, so if he has confidence and ability, he can be successful in different aspects. So I want to become a versatile woman.

However, for me, I just want to do some thing that is meaningful. Whatever my job or my life, I hope I can be successful. And focus in now, music is the most important thing to me. I want to pay more efforts on it, and try my best on it. And in the future, I want to try to do some other jobs or learn other courses. Such as psychology, management and writing. I think I can find so much incredible things in other courses.

In addition, I believe passion is so necessary for everyone in different profession. I meet a English teacher when I was in middle school. She is a kind of generous, outstanding and passionate lady. Her passion about English and education really affects me. Not only she taught us English, but also about her attitude for the life. I am encouraged by her spirit and perseverance. I think I found what I really want to achieve in my life. I dream I can become a person who outstanding, responsible and successful. I understand there are numerous definition about success. But for me, I think if one is good for the society, the country, even the family, he is successful. Success is not just in one’s profession or job, it is in many details. If one day, I just become a great musician, I will not be proud. My dream is become a person who really know how to enjoy the life and control his life, even in the tough and dark period.

Thus, I consider in my life, be a teacher or be a musician just a little dot. They are the profession, I need to know how to let these professions to lead me to find out the real meaning of life. As the beginning, I want to be a versatile person, and whatever in music or other subjects, I can say I am so proud of myself.
