(Opening)
February 14, 2001 (in college)
I had an interview at a western restaurant this afternoon. It’s a nice restaurant. The interviewer told me that she was looking for someone who had related work experiences .I worked at a Chinese restaurant for two and half years. Yet I’m not sure if I am the one she wanted. I was also too nervous in that interview to ask when she was going to get back to me. If I take this job, I'll be able to learn more about western restaurants. Hope there weren't too many people who were interested in this job. Good luck, baby!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
When I was in my fourth grade, one day, I went shopping in a bookstore. I saw this diary on the shelf, and I couldn’t resist it as it's so gorgeous and came with a lock. Thus I would be able to write down anything and nobody would know my secretes. Since then I started to keep a diary.
Luckily, two days after that interview, I got the job I told you about. The work in the restaurant was like a piece of cake, because I had had experiences of servicing. Half year later, the boss was going to open a branch coffee shop which is nearer my school. I had a new assignment. I would be one of bartenders in that coffee shop. It made me so excited. I was going to learn more skills and things about beverages. And I found this diary which is called “About Coffee”. I filled my colorful life in it.
Jay is a new coworker. He and I both are main bartenders in this coffee shop. Sometimes we discussed how to make good coffee together. And we’re single, too. Other coworkers always guess that we’re couple. Even I just wanted to work hard on my lessons and beverages. Jay sent some messages when I felt sad or asked me when I was going to be his girlfriend. I knew that he was only joking. I also thought something. If we became couple, people at the coffee shop would gossip about it. So it's not a good idea to have office romance. I chose opacity, because I didn’t have the courage to handle this situation. It was gone on several mouths. One day, after work, all the coffee shop staffers went singing at KTV. And I saw Jay held Betty’s hand and they drank with the same cup. It’s enough. I would never confuse that how to deal with Jay and me. Even Jay and Betty broke up one month later.
I’m not a writer. I don’t always observe the behavior of everyone carefully. And I don’t have good imagination, either. I don’t know how to write some logics from a cup of water. So I just keep a diary every other day. What happened in these days and what did I feel in this situation. When I felt down, I’ll try to keep every bad feeling or do some self-reflections in the diary. After that, I will feel better. Even there are some dirty words that a good girl shouldn’t have. Oops, it’s a secret. So it’s not safe to tell someone about your secrets. There is one more important benefit that you can get from keeping a diary--you will be a better writer. That’s why I always got better grades from my writing class and even got the third grade by writing a short story.
(Conclusion)
When I was preparing this speech, I read my diaries again. It brings back many pleasant memories, and makes me feel how stupid I was. I saw that girl worked so hard at the coffee shop. She also has grown up from breaking up with a poor guy. Now, I also write blog on the Internet. It’s a great way to connect with friends. But they never know what my secret is. Hey, there is one more thing…
