A
I was filled with doubts and worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.
For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls,so I often bent(弯曲) my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade.
My grandfather didn't laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me "Stand straight and tall, Alisa. "I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn(战乱的) Europe. " Stand straight, stand tall "meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life, "If they could do it，why couldn't I？""Stand straight, stand tall, "he often reminded himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language.
"Stand straight, stand tall, " he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather’s unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.
"Stand straight, stand tall" has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture(身姿). It also tells me to be proud of who I am.
And I do.

Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure,teachers,parents or others often say to us "Never give up". These can be encouraging (鼓励）words. A person should believe in himself and keep trying to be successful no matter how many times he fails. So I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily,we will seldom achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in something new, so we should try again. Also, if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to grow.
Another reason is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we won't make the same ones. If we do not try again,the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals(目标），we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us do better or succeed(成功）in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. What's more, if we give up, we have no chance of realizing our goals any more, but if we keep making great efforts(努力），there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.
