Dad was not only my best friend, but my compass. While he was alive, he 1 me with his actions and advice. He taught me one important 2 “Believe in yourself.”
If there was one phrase my dad 3 liked to hear, it was “I can’t.” He never got to finish high school and 4 two jobs to support his family, 5 he never complained. Through education and years of hard work, my dad became an excellent journalist.
When I was in high school, I had a 6 time with math. He tried to help me, but I 7 struggled. So my math teacher suggested I meet with him at 7:00 each morning before school for 8 help. I told my dad, “That’s 9 ! I can’t do that!” He replied, “You’re doing it. I’ll sent you to school.” Every morning at 6:45 a.m., we’d leave the 10 . Despite working 12 hours every day, Dad never once 11 driving me to school.
After months of 12 , I was facing the final exam. I was so 13 . On the day of the final, my dad hugged me and said, “Luke, 14 yourself. You can do it.” His words made me realize I needed to trust in my 15 and in the hours of work I’d 16 . When I got my 17 proudly, the first person I called was Dad. He screamed, “Yes! You deserved it!”
Even now, whenever I 18 that a task is too much for me, I think back to that exam. No matter how 19 something is, if you’re willing to work, you can succeed. I’m forever 20 to Dad for that lesson.

Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do，mine．Her name was Mrs. White．And I thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney’s Snow White， she had the same bright blue eyes，short dark hair，red lips and fair skin．
I don't remember much about what we in her class，but my mother once told me that we used to a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many ．But no red corrections．And always a star．Sometimes a Good!But it my mother，so one day when she met Mrs．White at a Parent-Teacher meeting，she asked her why she never my mistakes．Why she never red-pencilled in the right of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
And Mrs．White said“The children are just beginning to get about using words，about forming sentences．I don't want to dampen that enthusiasm with ink．Spelling and grammar can wait but the wonder of words …”I grew up learning to use words with loving like that．
I now and think she must have been a rather teacher—to exercise such red-pen restraint(克制)，to the joy，wonder and excitement of expression to flower— however faultily—like that，because to bloom is better than not to bloom.
I used to beautiful a lot．Never could quite remember that the e went the a．Eventually the e and a settled into their right places．I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs．White I felt no about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out．Because Life isn’t Pretty．It’s Beautiful．

It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were . Every day, my husband and his brothers would go about the hard of trying to get water to the fields. If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything.

Minutes after he disappeared into the , he came running out again, toward the house.
Moments later he was once again walking in those slow purposeful steps towards the woods. He kept doing this for about an hour. Finally I decided to him on his journey.
He was cupping﹙使成杯形﹚ both hands in front of him as he walked, being very not to spill the water he held in them. Then I saw a tiny deer lying on the ground, suffering from dehydration（脱水）, lift its head with great effort to lap up(舔食) the water cupped in my boy's hands.
When the water was , Billy jumped up to ran back to the house. I was there in front of him. His eyes just filled with . "I'm not wasting water" was all he said and I hugged him tightly.
As the tears that my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops… more drops… and more. I looked up at the sky. It was raining!
Some will probably say that this was nothing but a huge . All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved another.
