Class Assignment - Quickwrite - Turning Point
Perhaps the biggest turning point in my life was my decision to move to Belgium. 2 years ago, before the start of grade 7, our family moved to Belgium. Moving there changed my life completely. If I haven't moved there, I would be a lot dumber. This is because, in Belgium, my school was a lot bigger. There were people from 70 different countries, and through this oppurtunity, I got to learn and interact with a lot of different cultures. Also, since it is a large school, there was also a huge library. Every week, I would go to the library atleast twice. I got to read a lot of books, and a lot of classics. In our school, there is also a huge variety of different sports. I chose to concentrate on netball, and because of it, I learned to like basketball a lot, which led to me playing basketball now. Also, when I moved to Belgium, I thought the math levels between Taiwan and Belgium would be a big gap, so in the two years, I read ahead a lot of math stuff. Turns out, when I came back, it wasn't that bad, so my math was slightly advanced. If I hadn't moved to Belgium, I wouldn't have been able to learn about so many cultures, read so many books, be playing basketball now, and be slightly ahead in math. On the other hand, because the homework load in Belgium is much lighter, it took me some time to adjust to the situation in Taiwan. I think I would be a completely different person had I chose to stay in Taiwan.
