What moguls taught me about life

By Jenny, age 11

WHY?! Why do these viruses that come once every a hundred years have to land on the heads of my generation? The school has been online for almost two years now and I wish it will get back to normal soon. During the winter break of 2020, My snowboarding coach (coach Qin) and other friends are taking me to Mont Tremblant for skiing and snowboarding. My parents are not coming because my parents know that I’m capable of taking care of myself and I won’t bring any trouble. Once we got onto the mountain, My friend Joyce said we can snowboard on moguls. Huh? Snowboarding? On moguls? Alright, let’s go. Round 1, Fall count: 28, Round 2: 10 … Round n: QAQ!!! Looking down at the moguls I sighed.

“Miao, you can’t give up like that, these moguls are like your life and the moguls are like the problems in life. You can’t hide from it, there will always be another one after it waiting for you.”

Just when I was about to leave for another trail, Joyce came up to me and said: “Miao, you can’t give up like that, these moguls are like your life and the moguls are like the problems in life. You can’t hide from it, there will always be another one after it waiting for you.” Covid is just another big challenge in life. Stay hopeful, stay positive, and never give up.
