The Change in My Life

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Good morning! I am Karena Leung. I am from Class Seven, Grade Seven.

Allow me to share something close to my heart with you. It is not only my great honor but also my pleasure to be here and my topic today is about change. 

Most of the time, we just think about how to change the world but have you ever thought how to change yourself? I will share how I have made changes in my life. 

Currently, I am a middle school student in grade seven. It’s also the second term of middle school. As I learn more and mature gradually, I change in many aspects. My teachers say I study harder and my parents say I am more sensible than before.

As for me, I want to learn more in school and be a good girl to make my parents happy. Now, I am more focused on lessons and finish my homework without procrastination. I know that only by studying diligently will I get a bright future. I want to be more independent so that I can take good care of myself. I begin to enjoy life because I know that I am making progress.

At the same time, I have taken part in many activities such as sports meeting and English speech competitions. I have tasted the sweet joy of success and the bitter fruit of failure. You know, it does not matter. This is real life--full of challenges and change is the only constant. I remind myself daily that I should seize every precious opportunity to learn from the changes, and learn from life.

Thank you for your kind attention and time. I encourage you to join me in carpe diem!
