I am a writing teacher at a middle school. At the end of a writing class, I asked the students to share what they had written. We had a new student at the school, Al. Al had been with us for only a short while and was still trying to fit in (适应), so I was a little surprised when he volunteered to read. I asked him to read, but inside I wished that the other students would not laugh at him. Al began to read, "If I had one wish, it would be to meet my dad..." He started out loud and clear. He told how he had never seen his father. He told how he tried to be the only man in the house at such a young age. I took a look at the students. I knew some kids liked to laugh at others. However, all of my students were listening. They were letting him do this, I thought. They were allowing him to share something. "If I had one wish, it would be to meet my dad, so I wouldn"t have to close my eyes every night just wondering what he looks like," Al finished. The class stood up and applauded (鼓掌). They all ran to Al with hugs. My eyes got wet. This is why I teach. I teach because I can watch kids grow and laugh and learn and love. | |||

Have you ever complained (抱怨) why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not successful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time. If you see the world with your warm heart, you"ll find that the whole world smiles to you. While in school, sometimes you are tired of your lessons, but have you ever noticed the happy smile on your teacher"s face when you did a good job? One day it is fine. Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain. Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather. But dear friends, why don"t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely (及时的) rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a better harvest. Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure (失败) can"t be avoided. I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope. When we face failure, we must be confident (信心) of ourselves, draw a useful lesson from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do. As a popular saying goes, "Failure is the mother of success." Attitude (态度) decides everything. With an optimistic (乐观) attitude life is easy and pleasant. Let"s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us. | |||

Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me,"You should have goals like climbing the mountain." Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn"t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience. Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds" singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can"t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life." At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life.
