6. How I Overcame Depression Life is like a box of chocolate, we never know what we are going to get. If it is so bitter that it depresses you, just be optimistic and taste it bravely. I once had a hard time preparing for my P.E. test. The rising sun in the morning and the gentle breeze at dusk witnessed my non-stop running. Unfortunately, the result was depressing—I didn’t get full scores. Faced with the failure, I sank into deep thought. Were all my efforts in vain? No, never! If I insisted on practising, chances were that I would be successful! Holding such a belief, I spared no effort to work out day after day and finally all my hard work paid off. Now, the depressing experience is a precious memory to me. As Mr. Obama puts it, “The best is yet to come.” There are always ups and downs in our life, but do not lose heart and give in to the depressions. Hold on to your faith and challenge them optimistically, you will smooth them through and your future will be so bright.

7. How I Overcame Depression Poor grades always drive me mad, especially when I have tried my hardest. Last week’s exam was really important to me. Therefore, I read a large number of books so as to be excellent in the exam. Unfortunately, my efforts didn’t pay off. I got bad grades, for which I was depressed for a long time. Trying to get rid of frustration and disappointment, I turned to my best friend and told her what I had experienced and how upset I was. It was her warm encouragement that drove my depression away and I decided to try again. Thus, I came to know when facing difficulties and something depressing, real friends will keep us company and help us overcome it. What’s more, our ways to success are full of flowers and tears, ups and downs, for there’s no shortcut to our destinations, it is our perseverance and optimism that count.
