Actually,when I was young,I loved exploring the mountainous roads behind our house,checking the various soil layers (土层) in nearby fields and running wild outdoors.I often returned home with soiled clothes. Then I entered high school and settled on a quiet career choice:I would become a lawyer.My elders praised me for a decision they imagined would lead me to a respectable desk job. However,when I was accepted into a prelaw program,I found the courses boring.That’s when a teacher pushed me in a different direction.“You could always get a science degree,and go back into law,” she said. I took her advice and landed in the United States to study geology (地质学).Shortly thereafter,though,culture shock set in.I was not ready for the tough physical requirements of my field courses.One 6-week summer course required long-distance hikes,camping in extreme heat,and heavy lifting.My cultural upbringing had discouraged such “wild” activities and I had never gone on long hikes or camped before.But other women in my program were an inspiration.I saw beauty in their strength,and I wanted to be like them. By the end of my undergraduate degree,I had fully accepted my love of being a tough girl.And I’d given up on the idea of becoming a lawyer.My parents didn’t quite know what to make of my adventurous field life.But they were supportive when I told them about the change in my career direction. I’m now a professional with years of experience collecting samples (样本) in challenging field environments.My wild,steed-like spirit wasn’t something to control.Instead,it led me to a career that’s a perfect fit for me. 1.What can we learn about the author in her childhood?
