Writing exercise

I would like to introduce Cindy who is a key option leader on the WeChat platform. She operate an official account named “sugar and spice”. The reason I like her is I can always get inspiration from her through her post.

For some examples, Cindy was born in America and her high school cooperated with a charity organization. It donated some old textbooks to the orphans in Africa. Then the coincidence happened. When Cindy grow up and she attended event from this organization in Africa which made all participants experienced how the foundation operated charity program everyday. She suddenly found her textbook was read by a girl in the library of the foundation. What a fate they have! Every little thing you’ve done it really worked somewhere. It inspired me to do some little things from now on. Who knows whether it would inspire someone in the future.

And another story happened these days was about her friends. Cindy used to be a marketer in her career and be a gourmet/travelling blogger in leisure hours. But finally she found dessert was the thing she most passionate about it then she resigned and flow to Paris to learnt how to be an pâtissière. She met her high school mate Ms K there and they became good friends after the couse. Ms K finally opened a dessert shop when she back to Korea. There was a skin clinic near the shop and the owner of it was a guy who really loved dessert! He always ate 5 cakes or 12-inch Mille-Feuille in her shop everyday. After 2 years the owner finally asked for a dinner with Ms K and now they’re getting married! Sweet things not only happens in dessert, but also happens in what you loved, right?
