At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but I always got near perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to seventh grade, everyone would be surprised by me.
But actually, they weren't.
When I arrived at my new class,I couldn't wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could do better than me. My grades began to suffer. More talented(有天资的)girls often sang solos(独唱). I believed I wasn't smart. I believed I wasn't talented. I believed I was a failure.
Over the next two years,I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.
I haven't realized until recently that I really don't have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.
No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are more than seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that's really okay.

Actress Jiang Yiyan has spent around a month a year volunteering as a teacher in mountainous villages in Guangxi for many years.
In 2007, when she took part in a film shooting in that area, she was shocked by the poverty (贫穷)there. Children had to walk along mountainous roads to attend classes at a neighbouring village school. So she came up with the idea of doing something for these children.
Besides giving classes, Jiang also plays games with the children and sings songs for them. And she cares much for their daily life. Moreover, she donated some money to set up a fund(基金)for students there.
“Like the grass in stone clefts(裂缝), they have to try their best to find sunshine on their own rather than waiting for others to do it for them," Jiangsaid.
When asked how she persisted(坚持)in her volunteer services for such along time, Jiang said,“ I'm not persisting but enjoying."
“It's not that I gave these kids love.I am actually learning about love," Jiang added. To enjoy and share love is seen as the most important thing in her life.

Huang Xuhua-the Father of China's Nukes
Last Friday afternoon, all the teachers and students in the school watched the video about Huang Xuhua-the father of China's nukes.
He was born in a rich family. In order to make our country stronger, he gave up the chance to be a doctor, but tried to learn how to make the nukes. Although the conditions were very hard at that time,he concentrated on studying the knowledge of making the nukes.
To protect the national security,he concealed his identity. For about 30 years, he was unknown by others. And now he still keeps working hard even if he is over 90 years old. His story explains to us what the great love for the people and country is.
We were all inspired by his heroic deeds.
