I used to be a very self-centered person, but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a person.
I think my started when I was at Palomar College. At first, I just wanted to get my and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else, so I hardly ever to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester, I was really . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So tried a(n) . I started asking people around me how they were doing, and if they were having trouble I to help. That was really a big for me. By the end of the year, I had several new friends, and two of are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new , however, came when I took a part-time job at a Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my . Every time I came into her room, she was so because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never her, so I took her place. She let me that making others feel good made me feel good, too, when she died, I was , but I was very grateful to her.
I think I am a much person today than I used to be, and I hope I will not these experiences. They have me to care about other people more than about myself. I who I am today, and I could not say that a few years ago.

I’m sitting in a quiet room at the Millcroft Hotel, a peaceful place hidden back among pine trees about an hour out of Toronto. It’s just past noon, late July, and I’m the desperate (绝望的) sounds of a life-and-death going on a few feet away.
There’s a small burning out the last of its short life’s energies in a (an) to fly through the glasses of the window. , it’s not working. The great effort offers no hope for survival. Ironically (讽刺地), the struggle is part of the trap. It is for the fly to try hard enough to succeed in through the glass. This fly is doomed (注定失败). It will there on the windowsill.
Across the room, ten steps , the door is open. Ten seconds of flying time and this small creature could reach the outside world it . With only a small effort now being , it could be free of this self-set . The breakthrough possibility is there. It would be so .
Why doesn’t the fly try another approach, dramatically different? How did it get so locked in on the idea this particular route and determined effort offer the most promise for success?
No doubt this way makes to the fly. Regrettably, it is an idea that will kill it.
Trying hard isn’t necessarily the solution achieving your goal. It may not offer any real for getting what you want out of life. Sometimes, in fact, it is a big part of the problem.
If you your hopes like the fly for a break-through, you may your chances for success.
