About a week ago, when I was playing basketball at our city park, I noticed a small group of boys picking on作弄a smaller boy. They were calling his names and even pushed him to the ground and kicked something in his face. When I saw that, I walked over to the group.
I stepped them and the smaller boy, and asked them politely what this boy had done. One of the boys replied, “He’s weird.” Then I asked one of the boys if he thought his friend was weird, and the was “No.” So, I asked another boy what the word “weird” , and he said, “Different.” That was my cue暗示. I told them that everyone was , and that they all looked just as different to the other boy as he did to them. They all stood for a moment, and then the most amazing thing happened. One of the boys helped the small boy off the ground and then said sorry to him. He even him to play with them.
I thanked the boy for being so brave. As I looked around, I realized that there were many other people at the park no one else had stopped to help this boy. I felt happy that the boy was to stand up against his friends to help someone in need, but I felt sad that else had even taken a second look.
I hope that I’ve helped them realize that they could make a with a little effort and maybe next time they will be the ones who choose to help.

The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. “I know you have all worked hard to get for this test.” He said. “And because I know you can do it well, I would like to offer a B to anyone who will choose not to take the test.” Many students jumped
to thank the teacher and left the classroom. The teacher looked at the students left in the classroom and said, “Does anyone else want to get a B? This is your last
.”Two more students decided to go out.
Only seven students stayed behind in the classroom. The teacher then out the papers. There were three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just got an A in this class. Keep
in yourself.
I never had a teacher that, but I think it is a test that any teacher can and should give. Students who don’t believe in what they have learned are B students at most.
The same is true in our real life. The A students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have learned from both success and failure. They have learned life’s lesson, not only from school education also from things happening in their lives. So they have become better people.
Scientists say that by the age of eight, 80% of what we believe about ourselves has already been formed. You are a big kid now, and you realize that you have some limits(局限). However, there is you can’t do if you believe in yourself and keep going. Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to the summit of Mount Everest(珠峰) said, “It’s not the summit of Mount Everest we got over but ourselves.”

“Never give up!” It is my law(法则) of life. It has brought me . I learned the law from my father's story.
My father was in a poor village in the north of Jiangsu, in China. When he was a young boy, he went to school in the morning, then in the fields till sunset. And then he did his homework midnight. Life was hard, because they had no ！
At the age of 14, my father heard of the United States of America. It was the land of gold, the land where people can become rich.

So，my father came to America. “I had thought it was easy to money in America,” he told me. “But when I arrived there，I realized it was not true. They did not like to hire(雇佣) me because I spoke English. Later，I worked in a small restaurant, cleaning up tables, dishes and sweeping the floor. Life was for the first few years. I worked from 10 a. m. to 11 p. m. I wanted to go to school to learn English, but it was impossible. I couldn't the schooling(学费).”
My father working hard, and reached his goal.
“Alan,” he often says to me. “If you want something, you have to work for it and never give up. Things do not come in life.” That is what I learned from my father.
