Life is full of ups and downs, including ups and downs of career, emotion and study.When mymother told me this, I always didn't believe it made any sense to me because I always thought my life would be smooth all the time.But when I look back on my life, I find that everything I have got through is just so-so.

I would like to share something I experienced last year with you.I have been dreaming about earning amaster's degree and I have been always working hard so as to realize the dream.Through continuous efforts, I eventually succeeded in passing the NationalPostgraduateEntrance Examination.The time I got the good news that I was admitted to my dream school, I couldn't be happier and I even thought I was the most fortunate person in this world.And during the whole following summer holiday, I wasimmersedin imagining my colorful graduate life.In order to test my independence, I made up my mind to go to the city where my school was located on my own one day ahead of schedule.

I arrived at the hotel I had booked in advance alone the day before the new term began.But unluckily, I had caught a bad cold several days before the journey and it got even worse after riding throughout the day.I found that I had a fever and then I took some pills to reduce the fever.But the temperature rose very high, and all that night I had great difficulty in falling asleep.I felt very lonely

and helpless, unable to do anything but shed tears, and considered it as the most difficult challenge that I had ever faced.However,when I thought of my parents' experiences of difficulties, I told myself“tomorrow is another day”, and then I got the courage to overcome the difficulty and finally I got up and took the taxi to see a doctor at 2：00 am.
