I Don’t Have to Be Like Them(保持真我)
All students have to face their own problems when they are growing up. You may not think that having a good family is a problem. But for me, it was. I had to face the problem of being the youngest of the Smith girls.
We live in a small town in Pennsylvania, US. There are three girls in the Smith family, Amanda, Theresa and me . People often say things to me , like “ Oh, the three of you, you’re such nice girls. Your sisters are so pretty and so thin! You’re really nothing like them. ” That made me sad.
At school, all of my teachers had taught my sisters. On the first day of school, they said , “Oh , the youngest of the three! I hope you’re just like your sisters. They’re such wonderful students.”
People always compared（比较） me with my sisters. So I couldn’t help comparing myself with them, too. Theresa was smarter（更聪明的, Amanda was prettier. I began to work hard to be more like them. What my sisters did, I did, too. At last, I became drum major（主鼓手）of our school ’s marching band. Both Amanda and Theresa had been drum majors. I became editor of the school’s newspaper. Theresa had been the editor two years before.
But last year, Amanda went to college（大学）, and Theresa went to high school . Now I’m by myself at junior high. Everyone knows me, because I’m the drum major and the newspaper’s editor.
Now I don’t feel like a Smith girl any more, I feel like myself. I’m proud of doing all of the same great things that my sisters did. But the best thing I did was to learn to stop comparing myself with them.

As the ball is so big, lots of people have to play together. A man called Stuart Frand invented the game. There are no winners or losers in the game. The idea is just to enjoy yourself as much as you can.
