“Why do you want to be a teacher ” I never explain it without the usual obvious reasons, such as my love of children or wanting to make a difference. It was not until I me t Kathy that I truly knew the reason I wanted to be a teacher.
I was running a summer program. A seventh grader, a young girl walked through the door and I thought to myself, “This is going to be a long summer.” She was a student at my school, and I was well aware of who she was even though I was an eighth teacher. Her reserved place in the principal office was well known by the eight teachers as we prepared our sales for those students who were going to need extra attention.
I racked my brain (绞尽脑汁) trying to figure out what I was going to do with her. I usually had my older students act as classroom helpers for the younger grades, so I decided that this would be a good spot for her. Little did I know how that one little decision would change my life.
Kathy transformed before my eyes. She showed love and patience with the children in that classroom. She was responsible and caring and she began referring to those students as “her kids”. I witnessed a natural teacher blooming. I had an unforgettable summer with Kathy.
Soon the school year began and Kathy and I were together again. This time I was her teacher. Kathy continued to volunteer with “her kids” at my after-school program. Her smile was infectious and her sense of humor amazing. Before graduation, Kathy thanked every person there for believing in her and giving her a chance. She was truly grateful. There was not a dry eye on the scene.
We continued to keep in touch when Kathy went to high school and then university. Once she sent a letter to me, thanking me again, for giving her a chance and believing in her. She also stated that she had made her final decision and she was going to be a teacher! I don’t know I could have felt more pride than I did at that moment.

After all, it was the first day of a new school year for Hill, a fresh start! On the way to school, she repeatedly reminded Hill to solve problems positively and fit in.

Even now, I can still recall the moment when my dream finally came true during my last year of school.
The dream of becoming a member of my school cabinet took shape when I was just seven. Those school leaders were my role models as they always gave instructions, conducted activities and represented us to give speeches on school issues. So, for the next few years, I tried so hard to make it a reality.
When I was twelve, I entered my name. I prepared my election speech and then, on the afternoon that we all gave our speeches. Everybody voted. I was hopeful and I prayed that I would win. The next morning, at the school assembly I waited anxiously for my name to be announced. I was all set to realize my dream.
One by one, the names were announced and the whole school cheered as the girls with the highest votes walked up to the stage. I closed my eyes and waited for my name to be called. The last name was read and my name wasn't among them. I was totally brokenhearted. My dream had been shattered, and I just wanted to cry my heart out.
Then the reality struck me: I hadn't had a chance to win. I wasn't well known and wasn't pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it took to win a school election. I was so depressed because I had nurtured this dream for a long time.
As I cried in my room that evening, I suddenly decided I was going to stop seeing myself as a failure. I decided that I would stand for elections again in my final year at school-and I would win.
I recognized that my competitors had a lot of things in their favor. Their personalities were their biggest strength. However, I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest strength was the faith I had in myself to be a good leader.

Ever since my Dad died, my life had changed. My Mom was always really busy with her work, and she didn’t spend any time with me anymore. I had to go to a daycare every day after school, eagerly waiting for Mom’s work to be done and picking me up. It was even a luxury to stay with her on Sunday.
One day, at dinner time, I begged Mom to take me to the fair on Sunday.
“Lilly, you know I have to work that day.” Mom refused immediately.
“But we never get to spend time together anymore! Can’t you take Sunday off ” I asked.
Mom placed a plate in front of me and kissed my head. I smiled and licked my lips as she had given me a piece of cherry pie. Then I looked into my Mom’s brown eyes and asked one last time, “Can’t you take Sunday off ”
Mom raised one eyebrow, staring at me. Maybe she didn’t want to make me disappointed and agreed that she would attempt to spare some time on Sunday.
It was Sunday morning, and I ran to see if Mom was awake. She was making pancakes in the kitchen with her work clothes on. Mom felt my disappointed staring and tried to explain. She bent down next to me and put her hand on my shoulder, “Sorry, Lilly! I have to go to work today.”
Tears streamed down my face as I yelled, “You never have time for me!” And I ran into my room and slammed the door.
As I was crying on my bed I could hear Mom talk on the phone. She asked her friend Charlie to come over and watch me. Half an hour later, Charlie arrived and Mom left. I heard him knock on my bedroom door and say, “Lilly, your Mom made pancakes. Do you want to come out and have some ”
“No!” I screamed.
“Your Mom told me why you felt upset, and she left a note for you.” Charlie muffled.

All of a sudden, with more thunder and lightning, large rain drops began to fall. Sally started to run. She was wearing high heels (高跟鞋), so she could not run very fast.

I have a very important meeting at 4:00! What am I going to do I can’t wait here!” she thought uneasily.
She tried to look for a taxi, but there were no taxies. She hoped to take a bus, but there were no buses, either. She impatiently observed the sky from time to time, which was becoming even cloudier and darker.
Considering for a while, Sally decided to run to the car park. She stepped out of the bookstore entrance and rushed into the rain.

One possible version:
That evening, I began my election plans a whole year in advance. The first target I wanted to achieve was to familiarize myself with the girls and obtain their recognition. I did everything I could to assist them whenever they were confronted with unpleasant situations. I also attended a course on effective public speaking and occupied myself with intense training on a daily basis. With time passing by, everything seemingly went to my advantage. When the election rolled around, I delivered the speech with more confidence than before.
The day after the election, every minute seemed like an hour while I waited for the results. The question haunted me whether my efforts would bear fruit. While the girls kept encouraging me, I felt anxious that my imperfect performance would cost me the opportunity to win the election. Then came the thrilling moment when the result was announced. Instantly the principal read my name, the students erupted into thunderous applause. It dawned on me that I accomplished more than I had dreamed of.

Hearing Charlie’s words, I jumped off my bed and opened the door. Charlie led me into the kitchen table where Mom left me a plate of pancakes and a note. I grabbed the note and read it. Mom told me she was really sorry for not taking me to the fair and that she would come back home earlier and have dinner with me.

I Love you so much, Lilly!” I’ve decided to take weekends off, and tomorrow... I’m taking you to the fair.” “Really Mom, I Love you too, and you are the best Mom ever!”

Sally was very surprised. She passively accepted the umbrella and said, “Thank you!”. But the man had left before he could hear her. Sally could do nothing but watch the man’s back disappearing into the rain. Then Sally quickly got to the car park under the umbrella and found her car. Getting in her car and closing the door, Sally, breathlessly, looked in the mirror, beautifying her face and carefully styling her hair again. After everything was ready, Sally drove out of the car park and headed to her office.
“How can I return his umbrella ” Sally thought on the way. “He was so friendly and warm-hearted. How eagerly I would say thank you to him, but where is he ” The stormy rain almost came to an end now. Sally looked at the sky where she saw the sun behind the clouds, and amazingly, a colorful rainbow. So happy and excited to see the rainbow, Sally couldn’t help but smile and say, “Thank you, sir!” Across the town, the man, on the way to his company, also saw the rainbow in the sky. He smiled as well and said, “My pleasure.”
