Always remeber that you are needed and loved by this world.

 We live in a life full of uncertainties, stress and distress, and those things make us feel anxious and angry, I want to say that we do get suffered by the uncertainties and stress, however, it was exactly those things make us learn and grow, most importantly, it teaches us how to cherish the life and the people around us. I am suffered by a lot of things, I had a not that happy childhood, I have experienced my parent’s divorce since I was young, and I was living in the life that full of the hatred that my mom had towards my biological father. When I came to United States, I also faced a lot of challenges such as taking the college entrance exams so I could go to the university, I studied very hard, and I didn’t get the very good score as I supposed to have, so I decided to take on more time. That time the anxiety and stress were very huge and I can’t even tell this to my parents in New York because I don’t want them to worry about me. I just took everything on my own, I talked with my friend who lived with me that time, I prayed to Heavenly Father and looked for the answers. Eventually my hard work got paid off, when I got the offer from BYUI I felt that everything was worth it, I did take a lot of stress and suffered a lot, however, I also got a rich blessing from the hard work I have done. I felt that we need to be positive in any circumstance despite how hard the situation it is. I am very grateful for myself that I didn’t give up under the hard circumstance, and I am enjoying the fruits that I got that I paid a lot of efforts. I really enjoyed my university life in BYUI, I made a lot of friends and some of them are my life-long friends, and they played an important role in my life. I will be going to the grad school pretty soon, and I know that I can’t make it without a lot of people’s help here. When we face the challenges and difficulties, we would definitely feel distressed and angry, but we also need to know that those are the things inevitable in our lives, and their short existence just want to let us be stronger. Every one comes to this earth with a purpose, no matter how long he or she will be staying. My old couple missionary friends that I met in New York, they are super nice people, and I used to visit them in Boise a lot of times. I heard a heart-breaking news that the Brother had passed away because of the cancer. I was very sad when I heard that news because he looked pretty fine when we had a video chat last semester. When I read his obituary, I can’t help my tears dropping down through my cheek because his whole life has been devoted to Jesus Christ, and he did a lot of sacrifices to pass His words to the other people who don’t know Him. I really respect him as a really good child of Heavenly Father, and he could finally be returning to His home to be with Him eternally. I think he was my model, and his existence in this world really make a difference. As human beings, we could not be immortal physically, however, you make your spirt lasts forever in this world and remembered by a lot of people because of the great work you have done to the others. I think it is a big success and happiness. We need to treat suffer as part of the honor in our life, and always remember that you are loved and needed by some other people, and you are also influencing the other people despite you don’t even notice about it. Life is so beautiful and it is worth to be loved and cherished by everyone on this planet.
