And that's just what I did．I found small pieces of wood in my father's workshop and made my car from anything that was lying around the house．When I found a small engine（发动机） from one of my old model planes，I added that．The power came from a battery（电池） I found in a box．
By the time the garage was finished，so was my car．I called my family together outside the house，started the engine and put the car on the driveway．It was fast，and I had to run to the garage to prevent it from hitting the new door．My family began to cheer and I smiled proudly．Thanks to my mother I learned the value of continuing to do things，especially something difficult．Soon I was making plans for my next project：a robot!

Sally loved cars more than anything else． This spring she thought of building a go﹣kart to enter for the Go﹣Go Race． So she asked her dad for help．
"Well，" he said． "How about this： you do some research first and then come back to me with a design．"
A week later， Sally brought her notes and drawings to Dad． She named her go﹣kart "Blue Lightning"． Dad looked over her work， thinking． "Well， that's interesting，" he said． "Have a try． Just build Blue Lightning as you've designed．"

A Beautiful Moment
When I was in high school．I worked part﹣time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market． One day，as I was preparing the fruits，a little boy came by with his mom and sister． He was about eight years old，and the girl，five or six． They were looking the fruits in front of me． I heard the kids say to their mom in French，"They're good!" I knew it was French，because I can speak and understand it．
Then I noticed how the mom was picking the fruits．At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them． But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out． And she often asked her son if it looked okay， but looked way above where his face was． Putting what I saw together，I was sure she was blind．
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits．The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad， and the daughter handed them to her mom． The woman then felt each one and smiled， and the daughter would put them into their basket．The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out．
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before．It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help． Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves， instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did．
It was great to witness the moment， but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language．this is what I regret to this day．
