One summer day as I was heading to the teaching building I heard someone call my name.I turned around and saw Philip,a counselor (顾问) at our admissions office,standing with another young man.Philip introduced me to him,Stephen,and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.
Stephen looked at me.With a somewhat painful expression,he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass.I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn.As we talked,I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.
I told him to do all of his assignments,and to hand them in on time.Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work,I told him the most successful students made a master calendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.
As the fall semester went on,I learned more of Stephen’s story.It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people.Family members,including his mother,kept reminding him that he was a failure.But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart.He told me that before coming to our college,no one believed he could manage it.
Stephen didn’t become an A student.Still,he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day,turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts.By passing course after course,he began to gain a measure of self-esteem.
On his graduation day,he walked up to me,and said,“Thank you.”

I was a volunteer for an organization at the beginning of this year.The organization is aimed at helping children who suffer from cancer.One day,we were asked to raise money for cancer research and program funding at an event.
Since my friend Lisa was also a volunteer for the organization.I went to the event with her.There were many people at the event.After seeing our poster,some people came to us and talked with us.But few people donated money.It was a bit hot that day.Both Lisa and I got really upset.
Half an hour later,Lisa started complaining,“I don’t think we can raise much money today.”
“Don’t worry.The event lasts for three hours.There is still a lot of time left,”I said,though I also thought poorly of our plan to raise much money that day.
While Lisa and I were talking,a little boy of about eight years old came to us.He stood in front of our poster and started reading.
After a while,he asked,“What is cancer ”
I explained what cancer is.Then I said,“Many people around the world are suffering from cancer.It can be really dangerous.More research is needed to learn about it so that people with it can suffer less.That’s why we’re collecting money for it.”
“Do children suffer from cancer,too ”asked the boy.
“Yes. Many children suffer from cancer.Some of them may die.They need help.”Lisa said and I nodded.
Hearing that,the boy became sad.Then the boy asked,“How much money have you collected ”
Both Lisa and I were embarrassed to tell him that we didn’t raise much money.At last,we said,“Not much.”
The boy looked into our donation container and only saw a few one-dollar and five-dollar bills.The boy said nothing after seeing that and left.Then some girls came to us and we started talking with them.Neither Lisa nor I thought the boy would return.However,about twenty minutes later,the boy did return.
Paragraph 1:
The boy happily ran to us and asked,“Would you take a donation from children ”
Paragraph 2:
Both Lisa and I were deeply touched.

Paragraph 1:
The boy happily ran to us and asked,“Would you take a donation from children ”Lisa and I looked at each other. We couldn’t,believe such a little boy would care. Though we didn’t believe it, we said “yes”.The boy put his hand in his pocket and took out some five-dollar bills.He said,“I just asked for them from my mother.I really want to help the children suffering from cancer.”
Paragraph 2:
Both Lisa and I were deeply touched.We thanked the boy,but he left soon. Looking at his back,both Lisa and I were greatly encouraged.We wanted to try harder to raise money.So instead of just standing there,we went to people and told them about our program.At the end of the day, we raised over three thousand dollars,a lot more than Lisa and I had expected in the beginning.
