This morning, I’ve signed the contract that will decide my next 9 years. The far-reaching effect meant this was a significant and solemn event, so I elaborately dressed myself in long sleeve shirt and formal pants/shoes.

But it was over before I knew it. Within 30 mins of stepping into the building, I set my path in stone as I carved my initials in the stack of agreements. The swiftness of the process left me uneasy.

There is both pride and apprehension, but regardless of my emotions, the fact is… I have taken my first step into the education fraternity.

今天早上是奖学金的签约仪式，而它决定了我接下来9年的生活与事业。如此攸关未来的大事情，理应是凝重而庄严的，所以我挑了一件长袖的衬衫和得体的长裤和皮鞋。

岂知，在踏入教育部短短30分钟内，我的笔已然在合约上游走，定下了我日后的教学路。厚厚的一份合约，却如此轻描淡写地完成了签约，我心中不踏实的感觉久久不散，犹如身悬半空一般。

自豪？担忧？沉重？生活不允许我沉溺于我的感触之中，我只能深刻地感受到教育的漫漫长路，而今天，是我的第一步。
