There is a famous proverb said by Chinese sage Confucius that: Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life. To me, I absolutely agree with it. This proverb tells us that if you can find a job which you are really interested in, you will enjoy your work time, and the work seems to be endless joy to you.
Nowadays, more and more people find their jobs not derive from their hobbies, but in order to earn more money. Sometimes the jobs which they are working are endless headache for them. But in order to live better, they have to do these. But if we ask ourselves: which is more important? The joy from work or the salary you earn from working? Specific to me, I will not hesitate to choose the former. As everyone knows, we spend a lot of time on working in our whole lives. If you don't like your job, how can you be happy? Some people have the similar experience that if you don't enjoy your work, this emotion will get into your after-working time. Hence, you sometimes can't live happily even after work. In addition, if you are not interested in your job, it's much harder for you to do well in it. If you don't do it well, you may lose confidence and dislike your job more. The worse, the worse. As a matter of fact, our lives are quite limited, you don't have enough time to enjoy them. Therefore, for me, I will choose a job I really love.
I have a friend who really loves dogs. But some irresponsible parents abandon their dogs on streets because of different reasons. She sympathizes them a lot. So she decided to help them. After she graduated from her university, she joined an organization which aims to help abamdoned small animals. Her university is quite famous in China, but her salary is only normal because of the type of jobs. However, she enjoys it a lot, she thinks her effort is worthy, and she have gotten much joy from her job.
If I have a chance to choose, I want to be a gymnastics coach. Gymnastics means a lot to me, I have loved it since many years ago. But I didn't have a chance to practice and so far I haven't enough opportunities to get in touch with it. That's why I want to be a gymnastics coach. I think that's the only way for me to feel the charm of this kind of sports. If my dream can come true, I will completely enjoy my job and life. What a happy thing!
Enjoy your work and life, maybe this is the most important thing during your whole life.
I have read Raena's and Helen's journals.

Journal #15
My dear mum and dad,
I really felt sad when I received your reply. You are worried about my marriage with an American guy because of the cultural difference. I concede this point, because we grew up under different culture backgrounds, there must be some conflicts. But I don't really think it's a problem, we can combine our different culture and also I can learn some American culture. That is not bad for me.
In addition, you mention that the reason why you disagree with our international marriage is the different languages. However, if I marry him, I can improve my English much faster and my English level will be much higher than now. Forthermore, I know my mum is really interested in learning English, but she has little chance. If I marry him and stay here, she can come to America constantly. It's also a great chance for her to improve English. Moreover, my English is not that bad now, I can communicate with him quite well. Hence, I don't consider this as a barrier for us.
The last but not least point you memtion is the divoice rate. I know the divioce rate is quite high here, especially between international couples, but I think it depends on the specific couples. I really consider him as the best choice for me. He is so handsome and strong, also he always takes good care of me, so I have confidence to say that we can be in love forever. There are many good examples for us. A lot of our friends who are international couples lead a very happy life, such as Sean Cochran and his wife Lisa. So please don't worry about the divoice rate.
I really want to try, please give me a chance. There is a proverb in China says: Give me a chance, return you a miracle. If I even didn't try, I will regret forever. Although I know there will be some difficulties and uncertain aspects between, I think I can overcome them and lead a happy, bright and colorful life. Please trust me!

A Vote In Maine
Karin Klein.(2009). Could Philip Spooner be the key in Maine's same-sex marriage vote? Opinion L.A. Los Angeles Times. (n.d.). Opinion L.A. From the top: Q&A with LAPD Chief-designate Charlie Beck [UPDATED] Los Angeles Times. Retrieved November 8, 2009, from http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2009/11/spooner-gay-gay-rights-gay-marriage-same-sex-marriage-maine-question-1.html
In this article, the author describes a coming future vote in Maine about whether same-sex marriage is legal or not. It is a claim of policy which appeals to logo. He quotas a couple of sentences from a citizen named Spoor, who supports the of same-sex marriage. The author holds the same opinion, he thinks that everybody should have the same right. As far as I am concerned, I think this same-sex marriage policy should be approved. Everyone is equal from the very beginning of life, everybody has the equal right to choose his or her own sponse, whethwe same sex or different sex.
