I attended a Catholic （天主教的） grammar school for nine years.Later I decided to go to the public high school that I now attend.Why did I choose a public high school？
   The main reason why I go to school is to receive a good education that will help us become successful in the future.Both private and public schools give this opportunity.But public schools and private schools each give an entirely different social experience.The social experience，in my opinion，is much more important than the academic（學(xué)業(yè)的）experience，especially for a boy like me.
   In my grammar school，most of the people I met were white，Catholic，and of the same learning ability.Every day at school，students were expected to wear uniform（統(tǒng)一的）clothes，have uniform hairstyles and learn at the same pace.Growing up，this is what I expected all schools were like.For nine years I didn't know that people of different religions（宗教）and learning paces existed in the real world.But the fact is that there are more types of people than Catholics and quick learners.For this reason，I decided to try something new by attending a public high school.
   My freshman year of high school was an amazing eye-opener for me.I met different types of people.I have met people with long hair，short hair，black hair and purple hair.I have met people who are two years ahead of everyone else，and others who are two years behind.There are musicians，bookworms and others with interests outside the school.People can be whoever they want to be.
   Meeting so many different students and teachers with so many different interests made me much more interested in meeting more people.This experience made me know how important the social part of a public high school really is.In the future，when I go to college and begin my career，I will be meeting and working with people who have different backgrounds.For this reason，I will never regret the decision I have made.

1．Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe，the highest divorce rate，and the highest percentage of women working outside the home．Such statistics are often evidence of a miserable，chaotic society，with loads of children，broken homes and absent mothers．But Iceland is the exception - its citizens are the happiest in the world．

   Perhaps as a result，Iceland's economic policies blend the best of those from Europe and the US to create its own welfare system．
   "Many of us have lived in the US，and studied there，" said the former Icelandic Prime Minister Geir Haarde．"We have both taken from them and found that naturally we share the cando attitude - that if you work hard，anything can be done．"
   Indeed，the country is rich in writers，painters，film makers and accomplished musicians．There's Sigur Ros，a postrock band，and also a national symphony orchestra that plays to the highest standards all over the world．Half the population appears to have written a book．
   "Iceland has harsh nature，with its bitter everchanging weather， " said Haraldur Jonsson，a painter，sculptor and video and performance artist．"We cannot escape it．So we find ways ______．We have to have a rich internal life to fill the empty spaces．"
