Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn't understand and wondered why had such a big influence
a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now,
I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel
to express my own
on this saying. I know that I'm just a high school student with very
experiences. There are still many things
me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: "To make this world a happy place to live, you'd better yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world." I was shocked. It made me think about life
. There are so many things around us that
our will. We can't force life
our wishes. The earth won't stop turning no matter whether we
it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves
the world. I think we should learn to accept
life gives us, no matter whether it's the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don't catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more
that they slip by and leave you feeling
. I realize that I'm not just living
myself and that there are the others around me I should think of. They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it's just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or . It doesn't matter, I think. There is one
that should be obeyed and that's to make this world better.

I was 14 years old. I was angry and rebellious, with regard for anything my parents had to say, if it had nothing to do with me. Like so many , I struggled to escape from anything that didn’t my picture of the world. A “ brilliant without need of guidance” kid, I rejected any obvious of love. In fact, I got angry at the of the word “love”.
One , after an extremely difficult day, I into m room, shut the door loudly and fell down onto my bed heavily. As I lay down in the privacy of my , my hands placed under my pillow. There was an envelope. I pulled it out and on the envelope it said, “To when you’re alone.”
I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not. So I opened it. It said，“Mike，I know life is right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you and nothing you do or say will ever change that. I am here for you if you ever need to talk. If you don’t, that’s also . Just know that no matter where you go or whatever you do in your life, I will always love you and be that you are my son. I’m here for you and I love you-that will never .love you Mom.”
Every night as I went to bed, I would put my hands under my , and I remember the I felt every time I got a letter. During my teen years, the letters were the calm assurance that I still could be loved my anger and rudeness. Just before I fell I became grateful that my mom knew what I, an angry teenager, needed.
