Steve Taylor was in his room lying down for sleep while his mother Katelyn was taking a shower. She wanted to bathe before going to bed. The 5 year old boy was just about to fall asleep when he heard a loud noise from the bathroom. He hurried to have a look.
When he got to the bathroom, he found his mother lying in the bathtub(浴缸)with blood coming from her head. She had an epileptic fit(癫痫发作)and didn't know anything. However, little Steve kept a cool head.
He first went to his 2 month old sister, put her in a blanket(毛毯), and placed her on the sofa. He then climbed up a chair to open the door. Once the door opened, Steve picked her up from the sofa and went to his neighbor's house. The neighbor, Jessica, was very surprised to see her two young neighbors standing outside her door at such a strange hour.
She first thought the little boy was going to talk about his dog. But he said, “No, my mom died in the bathroom. Can you take care of us？” Jessica ran to the next door in a hurry and found Katelyn in the bathtub with the water still running. She called 911 and help arrived just in time.
Ms. Taylor believed that her son saved her life. If not her son, she probably would have died right there in her bathtub. Steve was praised by the local fire department. They showed up at his house with their fire truck to present him with some special prizes.

Something unexpected happened in the summer of my eleventh year. The home where I had grown up was burned to the ground in the middle of the night. Thankfully, my mom, dad, grandma, brothers and I escaped(逃离) along with our dogs. Yet, we had nothing but the nightclothes we were sleeping in. I spent the rest of that night with a friend of our family. I tried unsuccessfully to sleep in bed in his house. I was too scared.
The next day my mom brought me a few T shirts and pairs of jeans that another friend gave to her. One pair of them was too short and the other pair was too long, but I didn't care. At least I had some clothes again. My dad returned to our broken home to see what he could find.
The only thing he could save was my mom's ring.
To spend the summer, my dad rented(租) a big house for us on the same road as our old house had been. As we moved in, our friends and neighbors continued to donate(捐赠) what we could wear and eat, and what I could use to study to help us get back on our feet.
From this thing, I realize love is around us.

六、Saturday, March 10th, Sunny
An unexpected thing happened today. At around 8：30 am, I left home to attend my friend's birthday party. When I reached the bus stop, I realized that I had left my wallet at home.
Even worse, by the time I came back, I found that I had left the key at home. I decided to climb into the room through the open window. My house is on the second floor, so it was not difficult to climb in. However, I fell down and hurt my right leg. As a result, I went to hospital instead of my friend's birthday party.
It was really the worst day of my life.
