My Favourite Soccer Player: Ronaldinho

Today is May 27, 2006. The world cup will start at June 8th, 2006. My expectation is the show of Ronaldinho, because he is my favourite soccer player. I learned the “Elite child athletes” during this week. Ronaldinho also was an elite athlete when he was a child. Ronaldinho was born March 21, 1980 in Porto Alegra. Joao is his father. He played soccer in an amateur club. Roberto is his older brother. When Ronaldinho was child, his brother became a rising star in the Germio club. However, Joao thought Ronaldinho was the real star. Therefore, Ronaldinho started to play soccor when he was a child. Sadly, Joao drown in a swimming pool when Ronaldinho was 8-year-old. After a few years, Roberto was injured in his knee. Then he quit his club and became the personal coach of Ronaldinho. When Ronaldinho was 19 years old he entered a Paraguay team called Wanderly Luxembumbergo. In 2004 Ronaldinho won the world player of the year.

I don’t think the success of Ronaldinho is cause by his father’s expectation and his brother’s coach. I think the real reason is the enthusiasm for soccer. I saw one his match a few days ago. It’s the UEFA Champions League final. Barcelona defeated Arsenal 2-1. At he 37th minute, Arsenal score the first goal. On that time, I saw Ronaldinho’s face and he was smiling. I don’t think he was worried about the champion. He was enjoying this game. At last, he led the Barcelona to win the champion. In a press conference, one person asked him: “Do you have girlfriend?” Ronaldinho took out a soccer ball said: “It’s her”.

As the same reason, enthusiasm is important for everything. If I want to pass Leap 4, I should devote more enthusiasm in study. Just like Ronaldinho.

Lonely

Today is Saturday. I woke up at 4:00a.m. There was only me in this room. I felt a little bit lonely. I missed my parents at that time. I got up and wrote an email to my parents. Suddenly, this feeling make me remember a past event three years ago.
Three years ago, it was the first time to leave my hometown. I went to a new city and studied in a college. I didn’t have any friend, because most of them spoke Cantonese and I didn’t understand Cantonese. I felt very lonely on that time. I told my Mum I want go back, I felt lonely in here. My mother told me: “one people can break ‘lonely’. That’s your friend. Try to help other people and make friends in there. Don’t worry about Mandarin or Cantonese. After ten years, friendship will be one of the most important things in your life.” After that, I tried to help people in this school and I made lots of friends on there. Also, I felt very happy during 3 years in that college.
Some of my friends came to U of C too. Some of them broke up. I want to tell them, don’t felt lonely and I’m your friends. When they went to a new class, I also try to help them to make friends, because I’m their friend. I never made my friends feel lonely, because I have known lonely is not a good feeling.

First Day In Leap4

This is the first entry in this blog. Like the title, I am going to write about my emotion and my life in Leap4. Last day is the first day to study in leap 4. Our intensive instructor is Scott. I heard many things about him. All my calgary friends said, he is very humor and good teacher. I think so, too. Most of classmates were known before. I feel very happy and lucky in this class. Also, I have my goals in Leap4. I hope i can pass the effective writting in this semestor. That's mean my intensive mark should get B+. Though it's very hard, i think i can do it.
