First notebook entry: Introducing myself I was born in a middle-class family . There are four persons in my family including my father, my mother, my brother and myself. Since my childhood, I’ve been taught by my parents to make friends with people around and always keep good manners in public. Besides, I have learned the importance. Of helping people in need. Because if you have love in your heart, you will have happiness in your life. In addition to this, I like sports very much such as basketball, tennis and so on. Because they’re interesting and make me happy and energetic. Of course, I do admit that I have some shortcomings. I can be shy when speaking in the presence of large crowds of people. Sometimes I am hesitant in making quick decisions. But I’m sure I will be able to overcome them. I am good at writing and I am interested in travelling around the world, so I want to become a reporter in the future. As a reporter, I hope I can communicate with many different kinds of people. So that I can show the real world to readers. As a matter of fact, I know to be a good reporter is not easy. It’s a challenge for me. Now I must study hard and lay a solid foundation. Also I must build up my body. I believe that I will surely succeed so long as I work hard enough.
