She left her dad behind. She added the memory of the whole past, but the people she used to knew, she left them away.
Maybe that's reasonable and granted for her--She was almost left homeless and alone all the time, since nobody did raise her up, then life must be only for her own.
She loved her mother, took care of her. When she had gone, she has nobody in the world, so she decided to change her life.
Knowlege seems the only way to lift up ,go for better life,get out of her born world,work hard,and move on without looking back.
Maybe that's her way of living. Maybe that's blameless to fight for her own, but not for anybody else.
We all want to get out and move to some place better. It's alright and she deserves that, she works hard all the way through, much harder than normal people,she is smart,we are probably both smart.
She made a way out.
And the past could be change.The future is in your hand.
Liz said " I didn't ask why ,why is this; I knew why. I accepted it. I just put all my energy to get out."
Chris was in the same kind of situation, but she chose to remain in anger, desperate and hatred. Liz chose to change. That's the difference.
I wasn't much moved by the speaking of this movie, but I somehow did figure out the meaning of difficulty and unfortunate.
There was a question that Liz faced when applying for the New York Times schoolarship--"What's the things you gained from your experience of difficulty and challenge, and how did you make it out?
" What, how did you get over it and get out of it?
If we had never been put in an unpleasant situation, we would not be able to form the ability and strength to take bigger challenges in life ahead, which also indicate greater success and achivements.
Even more, the whole life living on earth is the process of suffering and fighting, the down and up, the loss and re-gain. You have to take the weapon and fight for your own, don't give up, don't even ask why, that only keeps you in your unchangalbe past --leave your past behind and move on, that's where the hope lies.
How to accept your past? I just accepted,asking no more whys,c'z I decide not to stuck in the past any more,and I wanna make a change,to a new world.that's where the hope lies.
I know I 'm smart enough to learn things. I can work hard to reach my fullest potential. If I do best in my enviroment, good opportunity will come along. I can go to Harvard, too.
In the past, My parents divorced. I lived up with my mother. She wasn't being a perfect mother but whose mother is? She is a kind and elegant woman. She loves me and has done as best as she can.
At present, I am a grown-up adult, an educated young woman. I'm healthy, smart, hard-working and dreamful. I have a mother who unconditionally loves me, care about me and give me the most freedom and support for whatever I want to do.
My father, he is walking into my life again. I think, he also has done the best he could to me, not enough in my perspetive and needs, but he tried enough. He will do better in the future, I believe.
I will focus on the satisfying present and the bright future I can make. Leave the past behind. I choose to change.
The difficulty in life can also be viewed and taken as a challenge, not a barrier. I choose to face the fact, take the challenge and try my very best to overcome it.
The BEST way OUT is THROUGH.
