問題詳情：

Growing up in a family of traditionalism, I found my voice later in life. I discovered that I could be so much more than a wife or mother. I could be anything I want to be. And I decided not to leave it to someday but do it today!

In the first forty years of my life I loved everyone else and forgot all about me. I had been taught that loving and caring for oneself was “selfish”. Then a light shone out of a personal tragedy, a suicide(自殺)of a loved one, which taught me the lesson of self-love. Learning to love yourself is the greatest lesson of all. I couldn’t truly love anyone else if I didn’t take the time to love and care for myself. How simple it sounds but how difficult it is to accomplish.

Embracing that truth gave me my life back.

Education and knowledge is power. Through education in a university I am powerful and lead my life that I choose, answering only to myself. With that responsibility I have become a better, gentler person. Without judgment I smile when I see other people’s foolishness. I keep my mouth shut when observe someone learning their lessons. If asked I try not to tell the persons what they should do, and how they should do it. Instead, I share with them my experiences and how I settled a particular challenge.

Sixteen years ago, after a life time in theatre, I wanted to write a play about a tragedy happening to some very dear friends. Maybe someday my play will give comfort to other parents who are going through a similar trouble. Today I have written several stage plays and a series of fairy tales. The university delivered my heart’s desire and I continue to do so every day and I am filled with gratitude.
