Like every boy there ever was, what Kyle Hrenwood most wanted in this world was a dog. Unfortunately for Kyle, his mom didn’t think he was responsible enough.

The day before Kyle’s thirteenth birthday, he went to the park and found a woman sobbing. He was immediately worried. Was the woman hurt?

He bent over and said “Miss, Are you OK? Do you want me to call anyone?” The woman shook her head and said, “My husband died two weeks ago, and I feel alone. We’d been together for thirty years. I can’t stand the silence inside that house. I’m Deidre. What’s your name?”

Kyle introduced himself and they talked for a long time. Kyle’s encounter with Deidre left him very sad, and he decided to go home. “Mom,” he said. “I don’t want to get married.” “Why not?” asked Kyle’s mom. “What if you spend thirty or forty years with someone,” Kyle said. “And then he is dead, and you’re alone?” Mom said, “Then you’ll miss out on love. You see, if you protect yourself from feeling pain, you’re cutting yourself off from happiness. You may discover those thirty years alone are not worth living.”

The next day, he had one of the biggest surprises and greatest joys of his life—a puppy! That was when he remembered Deidre was alone in her huge house.

A few hours later, Kyle knocked on Deidre’s door holding the puppy. He said, “Today is my birthday, and my parents gave me this puppy. You need this puppy more than I do.” “Give my heart to an animal just so it can die in a few years’ time?” Deidre asked bitterly. “I don’t think so. I don’t need any more pain in my life!”

“My mom said that if you protect yourself from feeling pain, you’re cutting yourself off from happiness. too,” Kyle said.

“You’re right, Kyle!” Deidre said. “I do need this puppy. Maybe you can visit us both; I’ve never had a dog before and may need some advice!”

Over the next few years, Kyle and Deidre, and Max (that was the dog’s name) became great friends. Then Kyle’s dad was offered a job in another state, and the family moved away.

It was Saturday — Toby’s birthday party. But none of his classmates was here. He sat alone in a wheelchair in his living room, trying not to cry.

“It’ll be alright, kid. Do you want me to perform some of Spider-Man’s tricks?” Ron asked. Toby’s mother Marissa hired him, who worked as a performer imitating (模仿) Spider- Man. Toby shook his head. “Are you sure? I bet you’ll like it,” Ron continued.

Marissa shook her head. “That won’t cheer him up, Ron,” she stated. “Toby has been looking forward to his classmates being here. It’s all he wanted. It started a year ago, and it hasn’t been easy. Being in a wheel chair in a school of able-bodied kids has been tough, but I wanted him to feel normal. However, children can be cruel (残忍的).”

“I get it,” Ron replied. “Asked by the teacher, we handed out the invitations in class. All the kids looked excited, especially when I told them Spider-Man was coming,” Marissa added. “I can’t believe none of them came.”

This was caused by a boy called Bob. This boy bullied (欺侮) Toby sometimes. He had secretly told the other kids to hide the invitations and not to give them to their parents. Marissa and Toby didn’t know all this.

Having no choice, Marissa said this party was over. Ron reached home. He took out his phone, looking at the photos he had taken that afternoon. He remembered how excited Toby had been in the beginning while they waited for his classmates. He also remembered how sad Toby had been at last. Ron felt sad and decided to help Toby.

Suddenly, he had an idea. He made a post on his Facebook page. He explained what had happened to Toby. And he wished people to send Toby presents to cheer him up.

When I was 10, I was always made fun of by my fellow Co-Curricular Activities(CCA) mates, including John. Words like, “Dick is the best player in the CCA! He only knows how to play ’Mary had a Little Lamb’ on the trumpet!” John’s fellows sang along, laughing at me.

“Don’t worry, Dick! I know you will be the best musician around and maybe perform 10 times in a year!” Tom encouraged me. “Thanks for the encouragement even though John is a better player since he has started playing the trumpet since primary school. Meanwhile, I just started, I replied with determination in my eyes to beat John.” Tom, seeing this, decided to give me more support.

After a long day of practice, the band was dismissed. I would have asked Tom to follow me back home but I was in a rush, so I left him. The moment I left the school, I took out my earpiece, listening to recordings like a broken recorder. I got so lost at the point that I did not sec the wall in front and fell on the ground with a loud hit. Luckily for me, a passer-by saw what had happened and immediately called the ambulance while stopping the blood.

“Ugh, where am I?” When I came to myself, I saw my parents and classmates. The passer-by must have informed my school or called using my phone! He then came up and explained to me what had happened. This made me embarrassed.

I could not even show my face to my parents! I wished the ground would swallow me whole, but that did not stop me from trying to be the best player. The nurse told me that I couldn’t practise as my body needed time to heal and that would take up a lot of energy. “I want to be the best. One leg injury would not stop me; it would only make me feel more motivated, I replied to the nurse.” When the nurse heard my words, she brought in the trumpet that I had wanted to practice with.

I had just gotten out of middle school and was about to enter senior high school. I was so excited to become a big girl, but I also knew I would miss my old school on the first day. I wasn’t going to be walking into the same school, with the same friends and same teachers.

I thought I was ready for the change, though. I had a friend who would be at my new school--my neighbor Jenny. I would be fine.

I soon realized Jenny got popular fast at the new school. But Jenny changed very quickly. She dressed differently, she acted differently, and she talked differently. Undoubtedly, she preferred to spend too much time socializing (交往) rather than study. A part of me didn’t want to be popular by changing myself, but the other half couldn’t help it. So, I sat with Jenny and her friends in the new clique (小圈子). I noticed that when you sat in “the group”, everyone was so nice. They concentrated their topics on eating, dressing, hanging out, and watching videos or movies. I made so many friends that I felt accepted, but I wasn’t myself around                                 them. Gradually, I found myself no longer a hard-working student, showing less interest in exploring the world of knowledge.

Jenny had taught me the “rules” of being popular: where I should shop, what I should say, and what I should stop doing. I changed myself. I tried hard to be the opposite of who I really was, just to be as popular as my “group”. Before long, I just couldn’t take it anymore, because I felt unhappy and anxious about my studies. I wondered how I could get over my loneliness if I separated from the group. So I talked to my mom about it.

Ant Bites

“Ow! Ow!” I shouted as I broke my jump rope rhythm: “Something, in my shoe is biting me.” I cried.

The first graders waiting to jump and the two rope turners circled around me on the dirt playground. My teacher, Miss Bell, heard me and hurried over.

“It’s still stinging me.” I cried as the circle of children opened for Miss Bell.

“Which foot is it?” she asked.

I stuck up my right foot as she bent down to inspect it. Just then, feeling a new sting, I yelped in pain.

“Here. Let’s take off your shoe.” instructed Miss Bell, squatting(蹲) down to get the shoe.

Then, I remembered the holes in my socks. Welfare socks didn’t last long. Holes in socks were a common thing for our family in the years following the Great Depression. Shoes got fresh paper inserted every Saturday to cover the holes in their soles. But socks with holes were just accepted. Socks with holes in the heels got pulled down so the hole wouldn’t show. Where there was a hole, there would soon be a blister. Every week as she washed our clothes, Mama would say, “Even if we’re poor and our clothes are worn out. We can still be clean.”

I began to cry from the pain in my foot, but I refused to let Miss Bell take off my shoe. I could not bear for her and the others to see the hole in my faded red sock.

“Come on, then. Let’s go inside to the office.”

A trail of first graders followed after us until Miss Bell told them to stay on the playground. I did my best to control my tears. Yet, each time the thing in my shoe stung me, I would let out a loud, “Oh, oh, oh!” Tears raced down my contorted(扭曲的) face.

Miss Womble, the fifth--grade teacher, came into the office. “Can I help? I know her. She lives next door to me.”

Miss Womble was a great neighbor. She had even played games with us on occasion. She put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my distressed, red eyes.

Javon was the shortest kid in the class. Since the third grade, he had been smaller than every boy and all of the girls. He’d had to ask Ms. Haygood to get his gym locker changed so that he didn’t have to stretch so much to reach it. For most kids, being short would be a problem, but Javon just never let it bother him. Whether he would grow or not, there was nothing he could do. Javon held a similar attitude to most things.

The one exception was school work. Right before the first day of middle school, his dad had a serious talk with him about college. More precisely, his dad told him that college was expensive. College cost more money than a year’s rent on their apartment and the yearly income of either his dad or his mom. Given that, Javon didn’t understand why anyone would want to go to college. His dad explained some people who worked really hard and got good grades paid less or nothing at all for college. It was called a scholarship. Javon nodded, promising his dad that he would work hard and get a scholarship.

And Javon had worked hard. By middle of seventh grade, Javon was one of the top kids in the class. He was still the shortest, but now he also got called one of the smartest. So, he hadn’t been too concerned when Mr. T announced they were starting a new unit in math. The class started normally enough. But then Mr. T threw a letter into his math problem. He smiled at the class like using letters in math was perfectly normal.

For Javon, math used to be easy. But he could not wrap his mind around using these letters. He couldn’t remember the rules Mr. T had given and he didn’t even understood the ones he did remember. Whenever Mr. T tried to explain, Javon seemed to focus so hard on wanting to understand that he didn’t actually hear what Mr. T said. Before he knew it, he was hopelessly lost in math class. Soon the chapter test came.

The test was cruelly challenging for Javon.
