碩士 === 國立新竹教育大學 === 人資處輔導教學碩士班 === 98 === This a 62-year-old woman’s life story written by herself. Through continuous writing， story-telling， and reflecting， the author experienced unexpected and amazing self-transformation with the support from her professors， counselors， daughters， and research peers. Though her initial intention was to write a biography of and for her 104-year-old father， she decided to take care of her own life instead. Her self-study ended up with an awakening from the myth of “being the old father’s good daughter.” Throughout this journey of inquiry， the author encountered tremendous fear， pains， anger， sense of loss， and despair. Those agonies later turned out to be precious materials for the miraculous healing process， from which she gained new insights of her life history and revived subsequently. From re-thinking of her tragic past， she found herself to be “diamond in the rough，” in her Buddhist faith， and decided to become a new， loving and helping person.
