After I became a member of TFG, I also became a typical commuter. Because I live in Jungli,, I have to commute from home to school everyday. In the morning, in order not to miss the bus, I must get up much earlier than most of my classmates. On the bus, sometimes I take a nap, sometimes I appreciate the scenes beside the road, and sometimes I imagine the bus as a mysterious huge boat taking me to a whole new world.
As a commuter, I have to be an early riser and endure the coldness in winter morning. I spend almost four hours on commuting everyday, which makes me treasure my time much more. At first, life of a commuter was such a challenge and difficulty for me that I couldn’t help complaining. But gradually I found it interesting and exciting. By commuting, I become a lot more independent, I have a broader mind, and I also meet some admirable people. A famous philosopher once said, “ After making your dreams come true, you will be proud of the long journey you have made.” I often take the saying to encourage myself.
