I used to be a shy girl. To make me more outgoing, my mother told me to develop some hobbies. She thought it could make me relaxed. I finally agreed with her and had a try. I found I was interested in collecting (收集) leaves of beautiful shapes and colors, so I talked with my mum about it. "Collecting leaves needs to be done outside so you can also enjoy the fresh air. Believe me. It will make your free time more colorful." my mother said. She also gave me a nice notebook to save the leaves.
There was a park near my home. It was a good place to get leaves. One day, my grandmother went there with me together. We walked slowly around the park and picked up many leaves. After that, she went there with me another several times. "At first, I just wanted to be with you so that you wouldn't feel lonely. However, I have fallen in love with the activity now." After hearing her words, I understood something.
Everyone needs to develop a hobby just for himself or herself to live happily.
