The age of 18 is of special significance to human growth. You are full of youth in school, full of enthusiasm in society, and full of curiosity and desire to explore the world.

html is 318 years old, which is of special significance to human growth. He is full of youth in school, full of passion in society, and full of curiosity and desire to explore the world.

People may not be able to control the growth of age, but they can always draw energy from the age of 18 and solidify their future path step by step.

The protagonist Xiaoxue in this issue of "The Last Subway" still remains simple and pure, sometimes confused, but also independent and free. At 18 years old, she is growing into a "real adult".

html Xiaoxue, who was born in 304, has pure facial features. When I first see her, the youthful atmosphere hits my face, just like the name "Xiaoxue", which quietly fills my heart. Light, full of warmth, giving people a sense of security.

, who majored in image design, is currently in the internship stage. From choosing a major she is interested in to entering work, this process may be a slow but steady progress .

Compared with being called a talented player, perhaps Xiaoxue relies more on her willingness to learn, her willingness to endure hardship, and her ability to adapt. Looking through her notes, you can feel her careful study of this job, which is densely recorded: head acupuncture points, corporate service etiquette, industry knowledge and other key contents.

▲ Clear study notes

During the internship, Xiaoxue would observe quietly in the store every day, staying away from the influence of the noisy environment, conscientiously using a self-sustaining mentality to calm herself down, and shape herself step by step.

"I was very nervous when I washed a customer's hair for the first time. I was afraid of making the customer feel uncomfortable, so I washed it for a long time. After struggling for a long time, I decided to bite the bullet and ask the customer how they felt, otherwise I would keep thinking about it."

She remained highly nervous throughout the whole process, and after finishing the service, she couldn't help but ask about her experience of the service. When she received compliments from her guests, she gained experience of the most minute details of her work and a sense of satisfaction, and spent countless tiring and wonderful daily lives with this pleasure.

▲ Xiaoxue in learning

Perhaps, compared to the simple and straightforward affirmation from teachers and colleagues, it is the feedback from the guests that is more moving in her heart.

Three words are not only an affirmation of her work, but also filled with a sense of solidity brought by "tiny but sure happiness" , and she is still full of vitality even if she is confused.

Slowly, her busy back shuttled through the barber shop, experiencing the meticulousness and pleasure brought by from being unfamiliar to being proficient in , and enjoying the joy of work in daily life.

▲ Daily learning for image design majors

In today’s increasingly bizarre life, people seem to have too many assumptions about money and age. But Xiaoxue gave the answer with her natural attitude. The most valuable thing about her is that she has always maintained her independence and sobriety.

When it comes to money, Xiaoxue is obviously more mature than most people. What's rare is that she has rationally allocated the subsidies provided by the school since her second year of high school. She saves half of it herself and focuses on the present instead of desires.

"I actually don't like asking my parents for money. Especially when I grow up, I see my father working from dawn to dusk, and I feel more and more how difficult it is for my parents. I already have such a concept and awareness of money."

At the age of 18, she is not burdened by material desires. Instead of "floating", she understands that there is no need to give a special meaning to a certain desire, and living a simple, fulfilling and happy life is also an important proposition in life.

Xiaoxue's life is not exquisite, but is relaxed and . She is like the kind of girl who appears around us, generous, warm, independent and sober.I have always felt that smile is one of the most beautiful things in the world. ’s smile also created a soft space for us at this moment, and the tight string also relaxed during the night with her.

▲ The troubles of an 18-year-old will definitely be buried by the first snow

At the end of the movie "The Wallflower", the protagonist Charlie opened his arms and embraced the whole world when the car passed through the tunnel. The narration of the movie softly chants "We are infinite (we are infinite)" . The street lights on the roadside were like the bright moon, and the boy became the king of his own world at this moment.

Perhaps everyone will fantasize about the infinite possibilities of their life when they are 18 years old. In most cases, we look forward to an adventurous, beautiful, and meaningful life, but at a certain point, when we step out of the ivory tower, we will have new insights.

The sense of responsibility from the family, the ambition to learn, and the concentration on work keep Xiaoxue running. She also firmly believes that will have more possibilities.

8-year-old Xiaoxue is always in the spring full of hope and power.
