What has given meaning to my life?

Meeting with new occurrences. That is one thing that gives my life color and meaning. I love learning new things, meeting new people, and trying something different. I have been joining several committees from the past semester and it had given me a lot of new things to do, seeing a lot of types of persons in the universities. Even this evening, I had a chance to experience something new. I had a meeting with the tutor for my projects, IT Workshop, where I discussed and negotiated about the project. It taught me a lesson on how to negotiate, deal with another people, and all the dynamics in it.

But, will the encounters with new experiences be smooth? No, it is not. I experienced that I will be making mistakes when I encounter new things, not just 'mistakes' but 'a lot of mistakes'. There, I realized that the people I love will play their role. In fact, they bring the most of my life's meaning, more than all new things that I have encountered.

My family. They warned, scolded me when I am making mistakes, but they always give a room for me to correct my mistakes. In fact, they give unlimited chances for me to fix all of my missteps. My girlfriend, who is the one that I most often turned to, will also be there to watch my back, give me thoughts about things, and give me chances to fix the mess. Not forgetting to mention friends that are there to warn and prevent me from doing the mistakes. They altogether adds up into giving the most important meaning of life.

Meeting new occurrences is nothing without anyone that is supporting my back. The feeling that I am not alone and all the things that I encountered in life (including the mistakes) altogether create the meaning of my life.

I think you really got good ideas and did express them one by one clearly. Still there is one thing I want to mention, which is that you do not seem to have titled each paragragh, in other words, you probably have missed the topic sentences. If added them on, this piece of work would be a much clearer one.

I agree with you. Meeting new people and trying something different can always refresh your mind and give you new ideas. We have to improve ourselves by trying different things, no matter it's a good one or bad one.

Meeting new occurrences is really interesting. And during this process, it’s true that will make a lot of mistakes, because they are all new occurrences…^^ Make mistakes, correct them and face another new thing, I think this is the life. And I think you can handle it, because there are a lot of people supporting your back. And good luck…
