She hoped to join an art summer camp (夏令营) to meet other art lovers and learn from great art teachers. However, her parents had a different idea. “Lily, summer is the perfect time to catch up on maths and science,” they said. “These subjects are practical. They’ll help you get into a good university and find a good job.” Lily felt disappointed, but she refused to let go of her dream. She continued to practise painting in her free time.

Weeks later, when the results of the competition came out, Lily couldn’t believe her eyes — she won first place! Lily got some money and an invitation to an art summer camp. Excitedly, Lily told her parents the good news. Her father said, “Lily, you’ve worked so hard and proved that your passion is more than just a hobby — it’s a talent that can shape your future.” Her mother added, “We’re sorry we didn’t support you earlier. From now on, we’ll be your biggest fans.” With her parents’ support, Lily went to the art summer camp and continued to create amazing works.

In the past, I always stayed with my parents, classmates, and friends. I had no chance to live alone. Since I moved to Los Angeles last month, I’ve realised living alone is not easy. In the beginning, I was excited about my new life. Each week, I only needed to work for two days, so I had plenty of free time. I planned to take exercise, read books and write articles in my free time. However, I didn’t keep to my plan. Instead, I lay on the bed until I felt hungry. Opening the fridge and looking at the vegetables, I decided to give up making a meal and order food online. The room was so quiet that I felt very lonely. I had to turn on the TV or play video games to make loud sounds. But when the night fell, I felt guilty (内疚的) about wasting time. Luckily, now I’m trying to change myself in a good way. First, I stop being lazy. I often go outside. For example, I go to the sports centre to exercise and the library to read and write. Seeing other people work hard in these places encourages me to follow them. Second, I’ve developed some good living habits (习惯). I cook for myself, and get up early and sleep early. They make me healthy.
