As I entered an international high school, all my friends felt surprised at my short hair. This is because, my old school thinks teenage y{#blank#}1{#/blank#} aren't the time for looking pretty. Then I coloured my hair blue. For the first time, I felt free and beautiful. This international school s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} to meet my needs.

    I had a t{#blank#}3{#/blank#} education background. I went to public schools, received normal (常规的) education and was required to follow r{#blank#}4{#/blank#} like every other student. Later, I began to wonder w{#blank#}5{#/blank#} this education was truly suitable for me.

    However, in the new school my high hopes were not met. For a while, I found myself in a surprising situation as I faced before. It was s{#blank#}6{#/blank#} the biggest challenge I faced in my education-the freedom to try new things. In the old system, I was strongly advised a{#blank#}7{#/blank#} trying new things. But in my new school, it worked the opposite way-we had many chances to try new things. But if I f{#blank#}8{#/blank#}, I must be responsible (负责任的) because I put myself in such risk. Finally, it led me to get into trouble again.

    As time went by, I started to find my o{#blank#}9{#/blank#} balance. In fact, none of the education systems in the world are perfect. I am l{#blank#}10{#/blank#} enough to have a chance to bring great value from both systems together. As a result, I've built a system for myself.
