Today is the last day of 2009. In four more hours, we will be using a new calendar and writing a new year.
Looking back, I realize that I have gained a lot this year, understood a lot, and matured a lot... of course, I also made many mistakes.
This year, I experienced many “firsts”: the first time traveling away from home, the first time... I originally wanted to list a detailed “year-end summary,” but after thinking about it, I decided not to. I will keep them in my heart to savor slowly, understand slowly, and grow up slowly...
I am grateful to everyone—including family, friends, teachers, and everyone related to me. Whether they are friends or enemies, partners or rivals, they are all people I need. Because of them, my life can be more colorful!
2009 was an extraordinary year. 400 years ago, Galileo pointed his telescope at the sky, which led to this year’s International Year of Astronomy (IYA). While countries around the world were intensely and orderly conducting astronomical science popularization, I also became a beneficiary. It can be said that in 2009, my scientific knowledge reached a new height: astronomy, mathematics, physics... Even more gratifyingly, I joined the Cosmos Station, observed a solar eclipse, participated in the Astronomy Olympiad, and even popularized astronomy within my school!
My emotions also enriched significantly in 2009. I have become less impetuous (though still quite impetuous ^_^), learned to reflect on life’s issues, understood my parents’ nagging and sacrifices, and learned the philosophy of interacting with others. Especially in the process of socializing, I have gained a lot: there were joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness. Happiness was certainly not lacking, but troubles also increased a lot. However, this is exactly what I need—a fulfilling and reflective life. Sometimes, I even solved problems in my dreams.
Facing 2010, I am full of hope. I know this will certainly be a year where hope and disappointment coexist, but I will continue to work hard, seek and create opportunities, and strive for more satisfaction and fewer regrets!
