About

Class Rank: 4/244 The most difficult experience I had is my mother borrowed money after she lost her job. Unfortunately later she was not able to pay back the high interest loan. The whole family suffered a lot. That is why after I grow up I want to be a Banker. So poor people can borrow money from me without hardship. In order to reach my dream I need to study hard, especially in Math subject. The moment when I felt especially proud of myself is when I performed well in my exams. The happiest moment in my life is when I scored the 4th highest in my primary school test. That is my best record. After I fulfill my dream, my plan is to help people in my community with their money issues. I plan to contribute portion of my banker's salary to the School Fund so it can pay school fees for other needy students.

Hi School Fund Students

Sorry it took me a while to write to you. For those of you who is receiving my journal the first time, let me introduce myself.

My name is Indy. I am currently living at the same town as Ms Judy. She and I went to high school together. I am so happy to have this opportunity to get to know you.

I used to work with computers for many many years. Do you like to use computers?

Yesterday I met with some of my old school friends for lunch. These are the friends I have for almost 50 years. We talked about our school days when we were 12 years old.
It brought many happy memories.

Do you enjoy your school? Now is the time to form good friendship with your classmates? What do you do with your classmates? Do you study together? Do you talk and share secrets? I know you have a lot of study to do. Hopefully you can find some time to do some fun stuff with your friends.

Please write back to let me know what interests you.

Until next time,
your friend,
Indy

Hello Madam Ying,
Hopping that every thing is going all right to you back to me am also all right. This time I would like to share to you about SUCCESS......
Well the word SUCCESS means a lot to me. Today i am looking at the past days and thinking what have i achieved and what not. The journey of life has been a real tough for me since so many years. Now i am 17 and i have to work hard and prove to myself that i can do it. No matter what huddle i come across. This blog begins with a word called success. So lets speak about success.
SUCCESS can be defined in so many ways, but i want to name it in my own way, were in a living being wants to achieve in the life span. Every individual can give their own opinion about the word SUCCESS, but i am sure it would be entirely different among each individual. So said there are different ways to define SUCCESS.
The word GOAL is some or the other way related to the word SUCCESS if i am not wrong. Speaking about the common human being everyone wants to be a successful person. Come on now in the world there are three kinds of people. RICH, MIDDLE CLASS & POOR. But in these three categories i am sure every one would be thinking about this SUCCESS one or the other day, only because they want to achieve somethings in their life just for their personal satisfaction.
Well coming to the point everyone might be thinking why i am speaking about SUCCESS in this way. So now let me tell you the story about SUCCESS. One of my friend shared to me that he was having a debate with his friends on the word called GREED. And while discussing the topic even SUCCESS was the topic in between the topic because earlier i have mentioned GOAL and even goal is a part of this SUCCESS. The discussion went around for an hour but was no end for the topic. So my point of view is to achieve SUCCESS. every individual has to tackle so many things in their life. life is not easy that's what i feel now. The competition has begun long ago and to be a successful person you have to be strong enough to tackle all the things what so ever come across your way.
I felt to write this journal because so many people speak about SUCCESS but people from outside say that i am a successful person but they themselves know what they have left behind to achieve this success or may not.
Well lot more to discuss about this word but before that there is a Saying Life is a Race run for it. In the same way every one has to run for the success. life is not easy now a days and it has become more tougher than previous days.
This is what i feel about SUCCESS in short. So i will start running fast to be a successful person for myself. In short that should be my personal satisfaction.
THANK YOU............................
