My name is Penny. I started being a in a group called Kinds Camp in 1995. There were many kids in the camp. At that time. I was a street kid. I didn’t know what to do one of the workers asked if I wanted to help in the camp. I really didn’t know what to expect but I .
The first day was for me. I thought the kids might not like and I was afraid to talk with them. But to my surprise, they were very and smiled(微笑) at me. By the end of that day, I found I working there. The kids didn’t if I wore old clothes or I couldn’t read well. They me for me the person not who my family were or how much money I had.
Volunteering to help the disabled kids not only helped them but it helped me. It saved me from a road that might turn in the wrong direction. It me understand that no matter how bad your is there will always be someone else that has it much worse than you do. It gave me hope and made me find my place in the world. For that them greatly.
Thank Kinds Camp for me a chance(机会) to volunteer. I will keep on volunteering.

“Mum, I want to make you a bet,” I said. “If I go a whole year without TV, will you give me a hundred dollars?”
“Well, if you can 1 do it, …”
“Of course I can,” I replied, trying to convince 2 .
In fact, all this started from my 3 of a picture in the newspaper. I couldn’t bear to look at that boy. He said that he had 4 one year without TV for a hundred dollars, 5 me with mocking eyes. It seemed he was saying, “I did it, 6 you can’t!”. I glared at the boy’s face.
That year I did a lot of things. For example, my father taught me to 7 , which became my favorite sport. 8 winter afternoons snowball wars with my neighbors offered daily drama. I went on bike trips with my friends and swam as much as a fish.
It was unbelievable how much 9 I had without TV. I learned so many new games. I guess the 10 thing I learnt, though, was self-motivation(上进心).
I started to do my homework. I went from a D student to an A student within a couple of 11 .
I used to 12 reading if there were no 13 , but now I began to read and enjoy it. I could arrange off all the pictures just the way I wanted them—my own little TV, right 14 my head!
I’m surprised what I did. I got a lot more from the 15 than just the 100 dollars!

Shyness(害羞) means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some children were 1 shy. Some become very shy later because of their life experience. 2, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just how much they feel shy.
Most people have red faces and talk in 3 sentences when they are shy. But some become 4 shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to 5 and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting 6 people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be 7 for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big 8. Some experts(专家) say shy people are good at working because they think more and 9 less. But remember not to let good opportunities(机会) pass you just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or give some performances in front of others, just do it. There’s nothing to 10.

During my second year of nursing school, our teacher gave us a quiz (小测验). I was a hardworking student and I did well 26 all the subjects. I finished the questions successfully until I read the last one, “What is the first name of the 27 who cleans the school?”
I saw the cleaning woman every day. She is short and about 60 years old. She has dark hair. But 28 would I know her name? I have 29 talked with her before. In fact, I’ve never even thought about talking to her! I stared at (盯着) my paper and started to feel rather guilty (惭愧的). Finally, I handed in my paper 30 writing the answer to the last question.
Before the class ended, one student 31 the teacher if the last question would count (计入) into our grade. “In your life,” the teacher said, “you will meet many people. All are 32 . They deserve (值得) your attention (注意) and care, even if all you do is just smiling and saying hello.”
I’ll never 33 that lesson. Everyone deserves our attention and we should try to get to know all the people who work and live around us. That was the most important 34 of my life. Later that day, I 35 that the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.
