I have many hobbies, among that fishing ranks first. It is fishing that have helped me improve my self-control.
Three years ago my academic performance is not satisfactory for my lack of patience. Then my father came up a good idea and taught me to fish. Having been told that fishing was full of funs, I followed him without hesitation. To his surprise, fishing turned out to be more difficult than I had expected it. I didn't remember how many times I had failed before I caught a fish. Amazing, the patience I developed by learning to fish has a influence on my study. Now I'd like to share my experience with those who have the same trouble, encouraged them to study with full devotion and attention.
