Be a Traveler, not a Tourist

    Last summer, I had just enough money saved to buy a golden ticket—a 3-month train pass that would take me to the furthest reaches of Europe. Excited for my journey, I packed all the necessities —except the 1.

    While the convenience of the Internet was definitely a contributing factor to my 2 not to take with me the few expensive kilograms of out-of-date information, this was not the only reason why I decided to fly alone.

    To be honest, my main 3 with the guidebook is that I find it 4 the pleasure of a journey—like bossy aunt who is always telling you what to do, 5 she doesn't always know what is the best.

    Experience has taught me that there is an obvious 6 between a tourist and traveler.

    While waiting in a queue, I met a man who had a checklist. He showed me his list of “Top 20 Things To Do in Italy” and 7 off in a loud American accent that he'd seen everything Italy has to offer in just four days.

    The problem I had with this man's 8 to travelling was that he was too 9 information provided by his guidebook. He was lost in the 10 attractiveness of the “must-sees” and 11 to all the wonders and adventures that might happen during the 12 trip.

    So, 13 any  guidebook,  I  traveled  to  Estonia,  the  tiny  Baltic  country bordering Russia. In the 14 of advance plans as guidebooks would suggest, I had no choice but to turn to some friendly faces for advice. I 15 myself first and then asked them what was happening around the town. When this 16 an invitation to a beautiful Estonian home by a river where I 17 a 110-degree wood-stove sauna(桑拿浴), 18 picked forest-mushrooms and the good 19 of our five newly-found Estonian friends, I was most glad that I had left my “bossy 20” at home.

    It's only after three weeks into a new job that I made a serious mistake. My boss called it “extremely embarrassing” in a company-wide e-mail, which he wrote because he felt he needed to explain that what I did was something 1 in the company should ever do.

    I wish I could give a good excuse for what I did. At the very least, I wish I could 2 it somehow — 3 it on youth, inexperience or ignorance. Unfortunately, I'm 4, experienced and I know better.

    5I work with some very kind people. For the past couple of days many of them have taken time to6by my desk and offer comfort, encouragement and support. Some have shared with me similar7they have made. Evidently I'm not the only “8” person here.

    One of the exchanges I had this week was with Lois, the much-honored, much-respected professional who9 the desk right next to mine. Lois was completely10about her work, and to be honest I was a little11about how she would12to such an extremely embarrassing incident.

    As I expected, Lois mentioned the13when she saw me the next day. She mentioned it directly, 14 with empathetic(感同身受的) consideration. She listened to my15. Just as I was ready to express my regrets, she brought my self-pity to a(n)16.

    “It happened”, she said, “There's nothing you can do to 17that. It happened. But it's over now. It's 18. It's in the past. You need to let it go, and move on.” And with that she returned her 19 to her work, as if to say, “We're done here.” I beat myself up for weeks. At such times I need to remember those 20words: It's over. It's done. Let it go. And mostly, move on.

    On Thursday morning, two teenage boys were rescued by a drone (无人机) in Australia while lifeguards were still training to use the machine.

    The 1, aged 15-17, got into difficulties about 700 feet off the coast of Lennox Head, New South Wales (NSW). A passerby saw them 2 in dangerous waves. Lifesavers 3 sent the drone to drop a lifeboat, and the pair made their way safely to the 4.

The drone, known as "Little Pipper", was actually not 5 to be saving anyone just yet—lifeguards were being trained to 6 the machine. When a call came about the swimmers 7, the drone happened to be nearby.

Jai Sheridan was the lifeguard who 8 the drone. He described the experience as 9. "The Little Ripper 10 proved itself today. It is a highly efficient (高效的) piece of lifesaving equipment. I was 11 the drone when the alarm was raised. I directed it towards the swimmers, and dropped the 12. With its support they made their way to safety. They were 13, but not hurt. The teens were rescued in just 70 seconds with the drone—while a lifeguard would have taken up to six minutes to 14 the rescue."

    John Barilaro, an official of the state, 15 the rescue as historic. "It was the world's 16 rescue by the unmanned aircraft", he said. "Never before has a drone been used to 17 swimmers like this."

    Last December, the NSW state government 18 some "Little Ripper" drones for 247,000 pounds. 19 some are designed to spot sharks, others are 20 with lifeboats, alarms and loudspeakers. "It was money well spent," said John Barilaro.

When I got to high school at the age of 16, I took art classes for all of my electives. I began looking at 1 and I knew New York City had the best design schools; the 2 was deciding which one was the best fit for me. I found FIT was a good fit because it could throw you into your area of 3 immediately and absorb you in the culture of New York City.

I've always felt like I'll 4 FIT because I know the fashion design program is probably 5 at times, but that is one of the things I love about the fashion industry. It's constantly moving, changing and looking 6. There's no time to slow down and think about anything but what's 7 next. Not only is fashion an ever 8 industry, it is also an expensive industry. In situations where it's 9 to get your words out right, the way you present yourself is a form of 10. I like fashion and art in general because I can use it to reveal things about myself to people who don't 11 me that well and to express my opinions or 12.

Once I got settled in high school and got more 13 in my art classes, I moved my 14 towards learning more about design. My school offers lots of art classes. 15, fashion design is not included. So I have to search for 16 on my own. The summer after my freshman year I 17 a two-week class at Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. I 18 at 8 each morning and learned how to draw a figure with fashion proportions (比例) and even 19 my first clothing. There were ups and downs to this program, 20 this pre-college experience has helped me realize that this is what I need to be doing, and that I don't want to give up until I'm doing it.
