If I could return for one year in my life, I would return to 2007 because at that I would be become to university. At that time, I had to choose my major, and I chose it a worry major because when I studied the major for 2years, I felt I didn’t like this major, and it was too late to change the major. My county, if you study a major for 2 years, you can’t change your major. this is a reason why I would go back to this year. If I would go back, I would choose business for major because after I dropped my major I changed to business that I like it.
ReplyDeleteIf I could return for one year in my life, I would return to 2013 because this year was the year that I traveled to Germany with my dad and we lived there for four years. It was a really interesting station in my life. I learned a lot about their culture in Germany. I had a lot of friends there from deferent countries, and they were very close to me. I am not going to forget the year to the end of my life.
ReplyDeleteFor me, I do not want to go back to the past of my life. I made a lot of mistakes in my life when I was younger and either until the present, and I have also done many ridiculous and silly things that hurt other people. I used to wish that I could turn back the time to relive and correct all my mistakes; however, the more I grow the more I realize that everything happening in the past is experience which leads you to the better choices in your future. To illustrate, if I had never made a mistakes, I would not have been appreciated the time, money or the opportunity that I have now. Moreover, being in the feeling of making wrong choices would gain you the understanding and sympathies to other people in order to encourage and help them to be the better one without overwhelming their ability. I really like the quote said by Hercules character from the Troy movie, " I will tell you a secret, something they do not teach you in your temple. The gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now, and we will never be here again."
ReplyDeleteHaving a chance to return back in past I would go to my childhood days. when I was in grade 2 in my primary school. I was very shy and I never interacted with other students. I never use to use and say anything in front of the class imagining other people will laugh and will make fun of me. For me the environment was new and I see the teachers as monsters. I believed that if I ask something wrong my teacher will eat me up. So with this fear I never ever participated in any of the events in school. This made me isolated as I had no friends and never went out and talked to other students. Now I realize that participation in class is so much important. It helps one to study and get better knowledge. If you interact with your teachers, they will not eat u up rather they might help you in your difficult areas. Friends also play an important role in life as they are the one who helps you in your difficult days. For example, if you are absent due to some reason they can help you with the homework and reviewing chapters that you missed. Now that I know the importance I improved on my fear and my mistakes made in past.
ReplyDeleteIf I could return to some point of my life, I would return to the time between when I had just graduated from high school and was about going to university. At that time I have had an anxiety which was originally came from the confusion of whether to study abroad or continue to study there in Vietnam. I have had a lot of pressures back then because I didn't know what to do after graduated,and my responsibilities as the first-born son keeps haunting me day by day even now. In the end I choose to stayed and finished college in Vietnam, but I had learned nothing from it. By attending here in California State University of Fullerton, I realized I can learn things that are better than what I had in my country's university . If I could go back and start over again, I would choose to study abroad rather than stay in Vietnam wasting 4 college years of my life.
ReplyDeleteif I could return one year, I would return to 2014, it was my most unforgettable year. That year, I failed the college entrance examination, I was very sad. because this failed, I couldn't go to my ideal university to study; so if I have a chance to change it, I will study harder to get a higher score in the college entrance examination, that is reason that why I want to return 2014.
ReplyDeleteIf I could return to one year to one age in my live to relive it with my knowledge now, I will chose that year when I was 13.I was too shy and afraid from doing mistakes and getting punishment. I think I did not live that year as I suppose to live it .I should've being courage and do a lot of experiences and enjoyments in that age. being afraid from mistakes avoided me from getting lot of excitements and opportunities to discover the life and get more knowledge. I would relive that age without caring a lot about being perfect by not experience new things that might cause a punishment. I would be brave enough to do everything that all teenagers tried it and I can't do it now because I am an adult.
ReplyDeleteMy lifetime had a lot of up and down. I was in too many hard circumstances and I handed all of them, I also had a lot of pleasure moment that I desired it happened again for me in future. If I can return to one age in my life, it would be when I was 8 years’ little boy. My childhood was the best moment that I’ve ever had. I had amazing and strong friendship with my friends in elementary school. My mother was younger, and she cooked delicious cake for us to take to the school. Yummy…I can feel the taste still under my tongue. We were all happy and I’d never think about my tough and complicate future. I wished to play one more time with my best childhood friend who died 3 years after we finished high school together, because of the cancer. I want to smell again our flower in the backyard of our old house. I can imagine it during spring flowers smell was incredible alike you walking in the heaven on earth. However, none of these memories never happens again, but all of them are alive in my heart and in my mind forever.

If I have a chance to return to one year that I prefer for reliving, I want to go back to my 18 years old. Because I can choose another way for my future. I started my career life since my 18 years old when I graduated from high school. I refused my parents’ economic help to choose enter the society for working. Actually, I realized that I was responsible for my adult study life. In fact, I was willing to continue my study in 18 years old. Because university life is more important for me at that time. I could have chosen a major about making movie in earlier period. Sometimes, I feel that I am working hard individually without parents’ helping, which it was self-esteem problem. I was just focused on personal honor, but I didn’t understand the meanings of continually educational opportunities. Fortunately, I will not do it again for my kids. I have to support them to finish all educated steps.
ReplyDeleteIf I could go back in the past for a year I would go to my high school days because I used to be a soccer player and I was good at it, I trained every day when I was in "Qadsia Sporting Club" in Kuwait I also played under 16 tournaments for the team, I had a lot of fun with my teammates and the teams I played against. The most thing that made me want to going back to my high school years is that Qadsia Sporting Club wanted to make a contact with me that I play for their under 21 team when I graduate from high school. I rejected their contract because I wanted to study abroad. I still don’t know if I have made the right choice or not rather than that, I had a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteIf I could return for one year in my life, I would wish to go back when I graduated my high school in 2011. At that time, I was 18 years old and attempted to choose a major right for me in the university. There are many different majors that made me confused, because I couldn’t identify which major was matched with my abilities, my hobbies and its’ career prospect in the future. It was the tough time to me when I had to make the important decisions independently for the first time. Finally, I decided to study International Economics because it was the most wanted major at that time, and then I got the Bachelor degree after 4 years. But I found no interest and engagement in my major. That was really a big problem when I realized that I couldn’t do a boring job for the rest of my life. I would want to return to that time to change my decisions and save my four-year school time. Now I understand completely which field I am interested in and want to work for the future. So I decide to choose my favorite major again and I believe that it’s never too late to learn.
ReplyDeleteIf I could return for any year in my life, I would come back the time I was in my university. It was 4 years ago when I was 22. I regret not focus on study that time. I wasted my time to watch movie, do part time job rather than take class and spend time with my friends. That year I nearly forgot the final test for the third semester, unless my boyfriend reminded me. As the result, I didn’t get the good score for that test which caused me the lower grade at the third year. Even I made an effort to gain the score the following semester, I missed the scholarship and I couldn’t change the result shown on my transcript. After graduating from university, I and my friends didn’t have time to meet or hang out anymore, we worked in different cities, different fields. We wish that we had traveled around Viet Nam, enjoyed our youth together. Luckily, we took a 10 - day trip by motorbike to go sightseeing before the graduation day. I think that I would be better If I spent time to study hard, play hard that time. The more I traveled, the more knowledge I can gain.
ReplyDeleteIf I could, I would go back to my last year of high school. In my country, at the end of the high school, students have the most important test that decides which university they can enroll in. I did not study very hard at that time, now I regret about that. After I started my college life, I noticed that the test means more than I thought. It means I would study and spent next four years in what kind of environment. It also means if I could find good jobs. In addition, after graduate from high school, I and my friends scattered in different cities. We just met in vacations because all of us were busy in our school lives. If I could back, I would enjoy the time with my friends.
ReplyDeleteIf I could return for one year to one age in my life, I wish that I can return to the year when I had to take the university entrance exam. As a high school student, the most important thing was getting a good grade in the university entrance exam and entering the university. Because of stress, I got only 26 points with my first exam which is my most confident subject; therefore, I almost gave up the rest of exams. Finally, I got terrible grades, and I had no chance to select the university and the major. For this reason, I want to go back to 2009 to take the exam again. I can make myself be calm down during the exam. I also have to tell myself not to give up if I mess up the first exam. It might have some opportunities if I try to let the bad mood go and pay attention on the rest of exams.
ReplyDeleteIf I could return for one year of my life, it should be 2012.There are 3 reasons why I choose that year. First, I could save two persons' life. My best female friend Tian died in 2015 because of leukemia and my grandpa died in the same year because of the cancer. If I could go back to past, I'm sure that I could save their life by warning them. Second, I wouldn't break up with my girlfriend. Because of my childishness, I did a wrong choice that I broke with her in 2012. I would say I loved her if I could return to the past. Finally, I would like to have good relationship with every my friend, because in the past 4 years, I hurt some of them. I wish that it never happened again when I return for that year. These all the reasons why I would like to return for 2012.
