It was an unforgettable experience. By the time we made it to the 36 , my hands were wet. I 37 he would remember everything I had taught him over and over again. 38 he stopped and asked, “So, Mom, how do you like my 39 ?”
I must admit that his performance was 40 . He had both hands on the wheel. His eyes never left the highway and his handling was far better than I’d ever imagined it would be, 41 it still needed improving.
Several 42 ago, I was teaching him to ride his bike. We started 43 . The third grade primary school student was 44 that his training wheels were taken off. Of course it was a long evening. He 45 several times but always got up quickly and kept 46 until he mastered riding.
Viewing the 47 , I guess it really wasn’t about him driving. It was about him 48 ---gaining more and more independence; not 49 me so much anymore.
He will be a(n) 50 in high school this fall. This will truly be a 51 year for both of us. He’s ready to have one of the best years of his young life and I will have (a) complete mental 52 . For this is probably the last year that my baby will be at home on a(n) 53 basis.
After this school year, he’ll go to college and then into the real world. Things all happen so 54 .
Now I see the time has just arrived for him to perform what he’s learned.
So, I guess you could say his driving lessons are lessons for me too. Yes, I’m being 55 that it’s his time to drive through life’s green lights and move towards his future as smoothly and skillfully as possible.

I take the train to work every morning from a train station near my house. I can get to the station quite because there is a short cut(捷径)to the station. But in the summer, it can get quite smelly because of all the . So I always try to through it. Today I was trying to do so as usual something made me stop for a moment. I saw the most beautiful by an old woman walking in front of me with the help of a white .
She was short and and had white hair. She was walking as each step took some effort. I hadn’t specially noticed her ,until she stopped near a rubbish bin.
She slowly placed her walking stick the rubbish bin. Then she leaned(斜倚着)on it with her right hand. She bent down and the rubbish. She clearly found it and it took her a while. She some rubbish with her left hand and slowly straightened(伸直) herself up again. All the while she used the rubbish bin to herself. She threw the rubbish inside the bin and then walking. It all took her great effort（努力）.
There’s so much rubbish and no one ever does about it. I was moved to this old woman make such a great effort to keep even a small part of it ! I haven’t been able to thinking about that all day.
I want to follow her example. I’ve decided to pick up rubbish off the if I meet from now on. I hope people will do the same as I do.

Being ready to help others is a ，but sometimes the result will be to what you expect．I remember as a child what my father always said， “If at first you don’t succeed，try，try again!” Helping my children too often has them from learning to keep trying．Use your ：who among my children will to walk if I supply the money to buy a car? Helped often，my children lost gradually the ability to problems themselves．
In most ，when people find you can help，they will ask you more and more．That's human，you know．
