(2015年山西太原五中三模)
Both of Jessica's parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit. So she went to law
school, got a job at a great firm in Washington, DC, and worked as a lawyer for a decade.
But her heart was never in it. “I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction,” she
says.
Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church
choir at the age of 12. “Singing always felt like communicating something real at a
spiritual and emotional level,” says Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career
option.” That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my
parents down.” She says.
It was her mom's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to
write her own happy-ever-after.” Work was busy and my mother was ailing. So I was flying
back and forth from Washington, DC to Houston to see her,” Jessica says. “I finally said,
“ enough!” and quit.” While caring for her mom, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her
savings and study music for a year, and then open a part-time law practice so she could
pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to
follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom, and her dad came to watch
her perform at clubs.
In 2012, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting
cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too
shy to perform,” says Jessica.
“Doing music is so free.” Jessica says. “There's no pressure to be a star. Success, to
me, isn't a dollar amount or a record deal; it's doing what I love.”

How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's
house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then.
I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that
I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to
which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very
little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought

about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only
from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head
then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not
come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study
in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I
should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed
before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the
hard times”.
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than
everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with
Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even
discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all common troubles
eventually go away！Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up,
and just wait a little！I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will
not be that easy.
