I used to think education was the most important thing in my life.Recently my attitude has begun to change,although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today.As a top junior student in my college,I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well.Standing in front of the audience and facing so many freshmen,I was trembling.I didn't remember any word that I had prepared.I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech,leaving everyone puzzled.I cried that night in my room,feeling that I was a loser.Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself.I am just storing knowledge,yet I fail to communicate with others.I have received many awards in school,but they don't necessarily reflect anything about me.I don't know how to socialize.When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.

I realize that everyone has his own way of living.I want to change my lifestyle.Of course I will keep studying.Yet I plan to look for a part-time job,which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.I still believe that working my hardest makes me happy.I will still stay on in college.But I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.
