Undergraduate / 'study group' - aspiration for my life - UC Prompt #1#2 [4]
Typing on a keyboard and clicking a mouse; these were how I passed the days when I was 10th grade. With no thoughts and plans for my future, I spent my time playing computer games and searching the internet. My parents did not continue to allow me to live without purpose or dream. They wanted me to get out from the swamp of computer games and study for my future. With a firm belief, my parents decided to put me in a study group in our local area.
In the study group, there were students who were just the same as me. When I first joined, I thought they were people who studied because their parents told them to. Let me be honest. I had ridiculed and cursed them whenever they studied. To me, their studies looked as meaningless and hopeless a process. In my eyes, they were slaves who just work to avoid the whip from their masters. I had believed they also had no plan about their futures and did not know how to live when they became adults. To me, they looked too young to think about their future seriously. However, when I saw their joyful faces when they got their results, I realized they were not studying without a purpose. They were developing themselves to reach their goals and preparing for the future they would meet. They were not studying without reason or purpose; they were studying to get a result which they desired. They were different than me. They had their hopes and dreams and they were stepping forward to their goals. As I saw people in the study group, I realized how important a dream and an aspiration is to one's life. With their support and cheer, I could find an aspiration for my life.
Sometimes I think how my life would be even if I did not join to the study group and meet those people. Maybe I could not get out from the swamp of computer addiction. I would keep playing pointless computer games with no hopes and aspirations. It was lucky that I met people in study groups. I could find the aspiration of my life and the realized the importance of aspiration.

I am sure there is something that I have to revise but I don't know where sure I revise.
