The way you look at simple things determines how you live your life. Winston Churchill once said "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty". I'm definitely not a pessimist but I am not yet an optimist. Like many teenagers, I sometimes scare of making decisions, of exposing my true colours: myself. But I do love reading book and what I have read about Helen Keller turned my page. What she said that one should "always look to the sun and you will never see the shadow" is logically and figuratively meaning to me. It changed my life.

Last year, I decided to volunteer in the hospital. With the main goal of learning more about cancers, what I received was so much more. I met a 10 years old boy- Hai Dang, who can't goes outside to feel the breezy wind of the summer. I saw the glow and tears on a mother's face when she know her sick daughter can read. I learnt a lot from them: simply from how to smile while being injected to do a magic trick.

I enjoyed that project so much as those kids'upbeat energy and delighting smiles defines who I am. With, the glass is always half full as I know exactly how to always look at the sun without being dazzled: being optimistic.
