The Amazing Change
Yesterday, I went to attend a gathering party of former junior high, Grade Two’s classmates. They are not like those classmates from senior high school; most of us have already lost touch with each other for more than four years. We are really so-called spreading to every corner of the country, so I was so excited at the moment I received the call from our monitor.
Everybody had changed too much; I could not really recognize all of them. Those young boys and girls have already turned into men and women, they were no longer like teenagers who cared about studies most and many other small things. Most of us are in universities now, studying various kinds of majors, but there are still some who have already left school when others graduated from the high school.
One of them is a girl who seated behind my best friend five years ago. At that time, we knew that her family was poor, so we all supported her by words or by some financial things. Now, she carried a young baby with her to the party, which made most of us amazed. We had already come to the thought that she might drop school early, but we had never known that she would marry at such an early age.
Wearing splendid jewelry and fashionable clothes, she gave us a picture of a total housewife and also, it suggested that she lived a happy life now. Seeing the radiant necklace from the famous jewelry shop-Tiffany, I felt that she was the person who had been completely changed by the society over these years. In former times, she was a student who worked hard everyday and hated those people who looked on luxury as something that could be shown to others. But now, she herself has become one of them.
When I returned home yesterday, I told this to my mother, who said that different people had their own different way of living the life. Maybe it is just the unique fate of people, and I really wonder what my fate may be in the future.
