Your junior high school years are coming to an end．After the big exam，most of you will go on to study in a senior（高级）high school．What are you expecting from senior high? Let's hear some Teens readers talk about it．

Zhou Zhijie，15，from Shanghai：

I have heard that although Senior 3 is a hard year，Senior I and Senior 2 are less stressful．I hope there'll be time then to enjoy sports．There will be plenty to see：the Tennis Masters Cup will be held in Shanghai，and of course there is the 2008 Beijing Olympics．I am going to do something for it and I'm sure Hl really enjoy it．

Jin Xin，16，from Harbin，Heilongjiang：

I really enjoy science．I visit many science exhibitions．I am interested in UFOs too．I'm crazy about making model planes，although I'm not very good at it because I don’t really have enough scientific knowledge．I'll be learning more science in senior high．In a word，sometime in the future I'm going to build an excellent model plane!

Wang Yaling，15，from Xiamen，Fujian：

I hope I can be taller in senior high schoo1．I am only 155 cm．Many people grow faster in senior high and I hope I will too．I want to be 162 cm．But I'm not so sure about that，since most girls in my family don't grow any taller than 160cm．I hope I'm different．

Zhang Fang，15，from Puyang，Henan：

I expect that I'll make more friends in senior high．I study in a middle school in the country．Most of my classmates live nearby．In senior high，Hl meet different people from different areas．I hope I can learn new things from them．

If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.
Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.
When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.
She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ourselves.
The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.
