现在的我 The Current Me

Before I go to middle school, I was a lazy girl. I always forgot to do my homework. But since I became a middle school student, I realized that it was time for me to grow up. I needed to be mature. The first thing for me to do was to take care of myself. I learned to wash clothes and cook the basic food, so when my parents weren’t at home, I could solve the problem by myself. They no longer needed to worry about me. I feel so good about the present life. I can make my own decision and learn to be stronger. The progress I made helps me to be a better person. 
在我上中学之前，我是一个懒惰的女孩，我总是不记得做作业。但是当我成为一名中学生后，我意识到我该长大了，我需要变成熟。我要做的第一件事就是照顾好自己。我学会了洗衣服和做饭，所以当我的父母不在家的时候，我是可以自己解决问题的，他们不需要再担心我。我对现在的生活很满意，我可以自己做决定，变得坚强。我的进步让我成为一个更好的人。
