The Thing I Want to Change in My Life

                If I could change something in my life, I would like to be tall. If I were tall, I could do something that I can`t do actually, and my life would be happier. There are several reasons why I think so.

First of all, I could have less difficulty in doing something if I were tall. For example, I often have difficulty in taking something on a tall shelf. I always have someone take such things instead of me in this situation, so I can`t help troubling others. Also, when I worked at a restaurant and a drug store, my short height was very inconvenient. Although I didn`t have them help me, some co-workers often helped me. Every time others help me, I am filled with feeling sorry toward them.

Second, I could enjoy some hobbies and sports if I were taller. Actually I have wanted to learn volleyball since I was a child, but I gave up playing it because of my height. Some friends told me that it is difficult for me to play volleyball, so I played other sports unwillingly. However, playing other sports like softball and badminton is also hard. In addition, although fashion is one of my hobby, I can`t enjoy fashion satisfactorily with my short height. I want to enjoy wearing various clothes more, but some clothes can`t match for short people like me. If I were taller, I could wear every clothes I want to wear. Also, I can`t help wearing high heels every day because many people often make fun of my height. In order to hide my real height, I sometimes wear extremely high heels like 12 centimeters.

Third, if I were taller, I would like to be a cabin attendant in the future. I like to travel by airplane and talk with people. I actually wanted to study English for airline business, but it is hard for small women to be a cabin attendant. Then I gave up my dream in the future.

In short, being tall has more benefit and helpfulness for people to enjoy their life than being short, so I would like to be tall if I could change my life.
