My family lives in Texas.I was born and brought up in Texas and I am a graduate of the University of Texas.However，around my second year in law school，I wanted to make a great change，which was almost unheard of for Texans：I wanted to leave!
I realized this after completing my first-year internship （實(shí)習(xí)期）.I knew I wanted something different and my chance came during the 2011 Super Bowl （橄欖球超級(jí)大賽） in Dallas.A snowstorm blanketed the entire city in snow and thousands of people were gathered.I overheard （偶然聽到） that StubHub，a big company from a great city，San Francisco，was throwing a party next door to my hotel.I thought if I could get an internship，I could leave for the summer and at least see what it was like.Yes，it was a huge leap.I told myself I was ready.
There was just one problem：I wasn't invited to the StubHub party.But you know I'm the type of person who goes for something she wants.Needless to say，I crashed the party and found my way to the president.I kindly introduced myself and then asked if they had a legal internship program.Guess what？They accepted my request to be a legal intern，even though there was no such program.
The legal department didn't have a long-lasting position for me.However，I got many other chances to be a legal intern in other companies.That experience has shaped my life.Working for a great company in San Francisco，I'm extremely happy for making my decision to leave Texas.
By leaving Texas，I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the comfort zone.Exploring the unfamiliar is how you'll understand what fits your life.I say，dive in head- first.

2．I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers，and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried，I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day，I was told that if I got one more E on my report card，I would be taken to the "big prison for kids"．
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out，I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E，just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage （孤兒院） was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do；it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said， "Mr.Young，do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger？" He looked at me，moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger，Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day，when I got my report card，I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus，I opened it：Geography，B+；Mechanical Drawing，C-；English，D-；History，C-；Gym，B+；Art，C；Math，D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
