  I can still remember the day I met my best friend Judy. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother,scared to look at each other. Soon we lost the shyness and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade ,I first lost touch with her. She was going through family problems and I deserted her to be with the cooler people. None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had problems. However, every summer we would always sit at each other’s house, watch soap operas and talk about all the boys we like.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. I guess I was too doveted in high school to realizeshe needed someone there. Anyway ,she made a new best friend and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, but she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed(诊断）with clinical depression(抑郁症）.At first, I was very upset, but we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there with new her best friend basically deserted her and people were calling her crazy.
Yesterday she came to me and said,“I never knew what a best friend was until you, the only person, would stop me cutting. I appreciate your help so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me.”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is never to give up on your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you desert them, you will only be guilty yourself.
The write and Judy both behind because they felt     when they met for the first time.

Once upon a time there was a wise man who used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down at the beach, he saw something moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got close,he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing,instead he was reaching down to the shore,picking up something and very gently and throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out,“Good morning!What are you doing?’’
The young man paused(停顿），looked up and replied,“Throwing starfishes into the ocean.”
“I guess I should have asked ,why are you throwing starfishes into the ocean?”
“The sun is up and the tide(潮汛）is going out.And if I don’t throw them in, they will die.”
“But ,young man ,don’t you realize that there are miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”
“The young man listened politely.Then he bent down ,picked another starfish and threw it into the sea ,and said ,It made a difference for that one.”
The wise man was lost in thought when the young man kept trying. Yes, there is something very special in every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain the power to shape the future.Each of us can do something for the future,each of us must find our starfish. And if we throw our starfishes wisely and well,the world will be better.
