On the job

There are many different customers who come into the restaurant where I work. I can hardly remember most of them because they have been mostly tourists. But there were two lovers that I remember well.

It was a typical Sunday. The mall was filled people who carried shopping bags. It wasn't busy until lunch time. There were two pair of Chinese elderly people along with their family. The woman had pure white shoulder length hair, and the man was bald. Side by side, they were taking care of each other and planned to share a plate together. One was trying to remind the other about the value of vegetables. The other remind the first about the watching their carbs. At the end of the decision, their daughter and son fought over which one should pay for the meals.

Twins


I was a only child for seven years until they pop out. My brother and sister who are twin. Well, they didn't really "pop out" but born. Being a only child was fun. I was able to get whatever I like, and go wherever I want. I was terribly spoiled.My parents love me.

I thought the loving would be ever last because I was a child. When my mom told me the fact of I am becoming a older sister. I was excited about it. When they come into the world, I thought they were cute. You know just babies.Cunning, sofe cheeks, and tiny hands. Their feature makes me want to be kind to them. I mean, How harmful can they be?

Then I started Elemerntry school soon after. Normally, my parent takes turn to pick me up. But my parents start to be late to pick me up because of the twin. Either they got sick or my parent just couldn't get out. I felt sad and unloved because they didn't have time for me.

Present Till Now

When I wake up every morning, a new day begins. In each typical day, I want to become a person who is able to be successful. Success comes with dedication and effort that definite the idea of how to live an ideal life. Everyone has agreements they have committed to in their lives. They live by their codes everyday, happily, to improve themselves. In the morning, I dress up appropriately and am ready to follow my three personal agreements. They are to Believe in Myself, to Take Chance and Treasure Every Opportunity, and to Always Do My Best. It is important to follow my codes because it helps me to improve myself gradually in life.

GuangZhou. China

GuangZhou is city that located at southern China.
It's hot in summer to fall, then warm in winter to spring.
GuangZhou is big.
It has things other cities has.
Tall buildings, cars, bikes, subways, and people.
You name it.

Poverty.
Wealthy people look down at the one who aren't as rich as them.
Because some people are not as wealthy as others, they become the lower class in the socity and tend to get less respect from other.
This is the problem after all.
