Three years ago, my parents and I lived in a small apartment in a busy city. They worked all day, so we didn't spend much time together. This made my mom sad, so one day she advised us to move to the countryside.
My dad and I agreed. Soon she found a big farmhouse near a forest. But it was run-down. It didn’t have a roof (屋顶) and it didn't have any bathrooms (洗手间)! I thought she couldn’t be serious. But she was. After a lot of hard work, my parents turned it into a homestay (民宿) and we moved there.
Our homestay has five comfortable bedrooms for visitors. It is open from March to November. The rooms aren’t always full on weekdays, but on weekends, we usually have lots of visitors from the city. People love to come and relax in the countryside.
When we first moved here, I missed my friends and my school. But now I go to the village school and I have lots of new friends. Sometimes I go to the city and visit my old friends, but I don’t like being in the city anymore. People sometimes ask me if I get bored living in the countryside. I always invite them to come and stay in our homestay for a weekend and let them find the answer themselves!

Each week we spent an hour in the classroom helping special needs children with their schoolwork, art projects (项目)and everyday activities.Soon, I found that working with special needs children had changed my life a lot. At first I thought it would be scary to be around those different children, yet there is really something special about them.
One of my favorite memories(回忆)is reading a story about how it is great to be different. After the story, I helped the children make clay(黏土)characters. They worked all day with ease and confidence(轻松且自信). When I saw the smiles on their faces, I felt really happy.
Today, as a working woman, I still work with special needs children. Not long ago, I started the “Castle(城堡)for Kids” project. I thought it would be fun for those children to change their classroom into a castle. They were builders of a castle.They also built a lifelong memory----for themselves and for me.
