Spelling Bee
Akeelah was a teenager who studied in a high school in middle Los Angeles. Akeelah felt that it was hard for her to fit in the world she lived, especially her school life. Akeelah’s classmates treated her badly and always laughed at her; therefore, Akeelah lacked of confidence and was afraid of showing herself in front of the public. However, Akeelah was good at spelling. When her teacher found the ability, she asked Akeelah to take part in the spelling bee. After conquering some difficulties, Akeelah finally showed up in the district spelling bee and met a boy in the competition. Akeelah won the chance to promote, but she couldn’t share the happiness with her mother. They had argument. In order to prove herself, Akeelah decided to ask a professor of UCLA for help.

Comparison between holding an activity and having a part-time job
After a busy week, our team and I finally held the 2014 Rheinpokal successfully. Holding such a large-scale activity is really tiring for me and consume lots of my energy. It's even more exhausting than doing a part-time job in the restaurant. However, as I said, I would like to hold the activity for hundred times rather than do a part-time job in the restaurant. First of all, I faced lots of various challenges in Rheinpokal. I conquered them then improved myself. But a job as a waitress and a clerk in the restaurant is boring and unchangeable after I learned all the skill and got used of my job and the customers. Second, I enjoyed teamwork. Although sometimes we had conflict because of different opinion, we respected each other, being humble and patient to listen to other suggestion. After the argument, we solve the problems together and never forget to apologize to each other for being rude. In contrast, the situation has never taken place in the restaurant I worked. I always feel stressful when my college and I have some problem, which we are unable to solve and have to ask our manager for help. And I feel upset and angry when I am yelled for no reason.
I really hope that June could come sooner because at that time I won't have to work anymore. I learned a lot from the experience of working and it also let me think twice when I start to work in the future.

2014 Rheinpokal
Our department has preparing for 2014 Rheinpokal recently. Though I have a few exams to do these days, I'm still busy at different extracurricular activities. It's always hard for me to distribute my schedule well, especially during midterm exam period when students have to not only study, but also do project---ordinary or team. When here comes an activity, life then becomes a catastrophe. I saw every classmates complaining about their hard assignment and the difficulties and challenges they met on Facebook. Our department lacks of people, and we have no similar experience for this kind of large-scale activity,which all German department will participate in; therefore, team leaders who are senior are responsible for important and complex tasks. It's really a heavy responsibility. Under lots of pressure, there are arguments between us. I hope that this Saturday and Sunday come and pass as soon as possible; otherewise, all of us will get crazy.
