I dream to be a person who can make a contribution to our country, like Zhang Guimei, who has devoted her whole life to education.

In order to be such a person, I will do something to improve myself. First of all, I need to have a healthy eating habit and develop a balanced diet. In addition, I’m supposed to have a reasonable arrangement between my life and study, which can help me get good grades while studying happily. Last but not least, I ought to do sports as much as possible to make me strong and relaxed.

As far as I’m concerned, everyone should be a person who is good for our country. At the same time, we should try our best to achieve our dreams.
