I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult.I didn't know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.
I didn't listen to my parents and teachers，and my grades became poor.Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life，my mom wanted to have a conversation with me.I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes，I felt I couldn't refuse.Instead of asking me to study hard，to my surprise，Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future.Without thinking too much，I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again：“I asked：what do you WANT to do？”
I never seriously thought about the question.So，I kept silent.
“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society，” she went on，“it is your own decision.Your life should be decided by you，not by anyone else，including me.” After saying that，she had tears in her eyes.
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision.I sat in my chair and thought about myself，my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world.To achieve that，I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me.I didn't act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more.With passion in my heart，I studied hard.Now，I'm one of the best students in the class.
Thanks to that decision，I have become what I am today.
