A
When I was five or six years old, I watched TV and saw other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself, “When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world. ”
At 17 , I started my career here in America, and at the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病),and whose story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to my grandmother who lost her battle against cancer in 2012. And her death is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation ( CLF ). We’re all humans. And we all just want a chance : a chance of life, a chance of education etc. And at the CLF, our mission is to impact (对 产生影响)as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is that you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college educated. But it can start with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a decision to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother used to say," If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share. ”

How many calories are there in every meal you eat? That seems like a difficult question to answer. But students at Aitkin High School in the United States can easily answer it now. They put what they eat into an online calorie counter (计算器).It quickly measures the amount of calories in their meals.
In fact, this is part of the school’s health class. It includes nutrition and fitness. Students can learn basic knowledge about fats, proteins, calories and sugar.
Students learn how to balance calories in and out. They know what will happen when the balance isn’t there. M The online calorie counter has turned out to be a cool tool to help you make healthy choices. Making one healthy eating decision can really make a difference,’’ Adam Carlson,the teacher in charge, told local newspaper Aitkin Independent Age.
They also discuss good ways to bum calories in the gym. According to Carlson, the gym is a great place to burn calories and get stronger. But it doesn’t work for everyone. So they try to find different workout tips. M I’m trying hard to teach the students that working out can be fun, challenging, and doesn’t need to take hours out of the day,” he said.
The class has indeed changed students. “I am now watching what I am eating and paying attention to the food labels,” said seventh-grader Karena Burgstaler. Another student James Erickson began to control his sugar input because it almost went over his daily calorie intake goal.
