1. So far, the most fulfilling thing I have ever accomplished is, I think, teaching others. I am one of the tutors of NHS, and have taught middle school students. Plus, I also often help my friends. Teaching others give me a special feeling of accomplishment, especially when they thoroughly understand what I taught them. For example, I teach this middle school boy named Jason every Wednesday. He learns math from me, and it is sometimes tedious to explain things that seems so obvious to me. But as Jason understand what I teach him, and solve the problems I assigned in the correct way, I feel ...victorious(?) I guess. It is a special feeling that is quite hard to describe.

2. My favorite days during this winter break was after I have submitted all my college applications. Once I submitted all applications, I literally had nothing to do except for playing and relaxing. I slept more than 8 hours every single day, played computer games, met my friends - both school and friends from the states - and chilled, etc. However, before I turned in my applications, it was not a great break time.. I was basically grounded and locked into my room and was forced to write essays for the whole day. I did wrote some essays during summer break, but I still had to write a lot more.
