    The alarm rang in my ear.After silencing it,I remained in bed.My motivation to push ahead with my Ph.D.was disappearing,which made it hard to face each new day.Continuing would risk a total breakdown.With anxiety,I decided to cease my Ph.D.temporarily and take a 9-month position at a health care charity.Back when I looked for Ph.D.positions,I was unclear what I wanted to study.For me,the degree mostly served as a means to an end,securing more interesting and higher-paid positions in the private sector than my master's degree would unlock.So I wasn't picky and reasoned a variety of projects would provide the training and degree I wanted.
    In hindsight (事后想來(lái)),I should have been more selective.I ended up working on a project I was technically capable of completing but over time felt full of disappointment.The purely academic research was intellectually interesting,yet I struggled to see how it would make an impact on the wider real world.
Some unexpected things amplified my trouble.I started my program in 2020,when meetings were virtual and in-person contact was actively discouraged,so I had few opportunities to form personal connections with co-workers.Research became my only focus,and when my interest in that faded,my project felt depressing.
    After only 1 month at the charity,it became clear that I'd made the right decision.My mental health improved and I found it easier to come into work.Things 1 did could matter and energize me after all — if I chose wisely.That was exactly what I needed and desired.After that realization,I decided I wanted to return to my Ph.D.program and make changes.I told my teacher I wasn't interested in the current research.To my relief,he was supportive,and we redesigned the project to better fit me.I will return to my program next month,optimistic that this time will be different.But if it doesn't go as I hope,my charity experience has given me direction and confidence that I'll live a satisfying life,with or without a Ph.D.

  • 3.Before my first hike to the Rocky Mountains,I was a homebody.I had friends to hang out with,several hobbies,and I felt comfortable spending weeks or even months in my hometown without going anywhere.I thought there was no difference between seeing something on TV and seeing something with one's own eyes.

       When we finally got to the top,nothing had really changed.The same fog was covering everything.I felt disappointed,as I expected to see the view from above and take some photos.We spent a couple of hours on the top,and decided to turn back.Then the wind suddenly cleared the clouds and the sun came out.It wasn't until then that I knew how beautiful the mountains looked.And for some moments I couldn't believe my eyes.
