 Have you ever lived in a school dormitory(宿舍)? Some students think1 at school is like taking a walk in a park. Well, it's not as 2 as you might imagine.

 Last year, my parents decided to let me live at school. I was 3 to hear this decision. I could be in control of4 without my parents managing me.

 However,5 I first arrived, I got anxious(焦虑的) about the strict rules. We have to study from 7a. m. to 10 p. m. every day. We6 to play with cellphones or go back to the dormitory to take showers during this time. I7 had an argument with one of my roommates. These things made me feel upset and homesick. I just wanted to go back home.

 At weekends,I did go back home. My mother talked to me. She comforted(安慰) me, "Don't be afraid.8 will be all right. Just try to think about 9 to improve the situation." My mother's words cheered me up.10 of my roommates had such problems. So I 11 solve my own problems.

 The next week, I tried my best to calm myself down and focus on(集中精力于) my work 12 three hours. It did not seem too hard. Then I talked with my roommates in 13 polite way and made more friends. I realize that everything14 on our own attitudes(态度) and I15 the dormitory life now.

 Every time I struggle (挣扎) with difficulties, I always think about this special experience. It gives me the courage to overcome them. Perhaps I have grown up through this.
