I’ve had two weeks to prepare and write it and I need to hand it in tomorrow. A month ago, I made a decision to never leave things to the last minute. Well, I’ve failed. I’ve also been trying to go running to get fitter with my classmates after school for four weeks. But I really feel it’s difficult to follow my plan now. Why is it so hard to break a bad habit and form a good one? I’ve just read an article and I’ve discovered that it isn’t my problem! In fact, it’s our brains. Our brains are programmed to make it difficult to break bad habits. Research shows when we do something the same way repeatedly, our brain notices. It’s just like, “Oh, writing a paper is hard. We still have time. We can relax for now. Got it!” If we always do things like that, we get “into the habit” of leaving things to the last minute. We may even get a reward (奖励) from this bad habit, at least at first. Our brain may say, “Ah, relaxation! I like this!” Slowly. it seems that we can’t stop doing the habit or control it. Maybe it’s because we don’t know how to get the rewards without doing it. But that’s not all. Scientists have also discovered that it takes ten weeks to form a good habit. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and accept a new habit as part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes a lot easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so you may give up your plan sooner. So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people, but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an excuse? Look—I’ve finished my paper on time! If we can control our habits, anything is possible!

After three weeks in hospital, I finally could go home with a false (假的) leg. However, the fight was far from over. More of my left leg got worse. This made it harder to wear my false leg, so I gave it to a girl who couldn’t buy one for herself. The joy of being able to help others was greater than the happiness of wearing it myself. People often tell me that they’re proud (骄傲的) of me for staying strong. But in my mind, staying strong has always been my only choice. I still remember, on the day I left the hospital, I told myself to always live life to the fullest. So, I tried to help those around me in my own way. In 2021, I even started modeling (当模特).
