【推荐1】I’m not the kind of mother who often brushes her daughter’s hair, and my daughter has never liked sitting quietly long enough for me to do it.
But today, I took a chair outside and let my daughter Kitty sit on it. She was sitting high with her eyes closed, skin still wet from the shower and her messy hair behind her back. I realized she was taking in every touch from my hands. Today we would send Kitty away for a week of a summer camp. This was all my idea.
She's nearly 12, and I notice that I'm with my child nearly 24 hours a day. Living on the farm without neighbors, Kitty has become increasingly dependent(依赖的) on me.
After lunch, we drove to the camp place. After we got out of the car, we were introduced to the other children. Kitty followed me closely, holding my hand all the time. "I need you for a few more minutes” she said to me, horror in her eyes.
I pulled away and walked up to a camp worker. “Excuse me," I said loudly, “I’d like to introduce you to my daughter. Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He came over to talk to Kitty and I kissed on her face. Then we all disappeared before Kitty realized we had left.
On my way home, I felt a piece of my soul(灵魂) had been taken away from my body. I began to shake.
Tears came down my face. When I arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path. “I want Kitty to have a chance to find herself, out of my shadow (影子) . If I don’t set her free, I'm afraid she won't be independent (独立的) forever.” I said to myself.

Last term, some firefighters came to our school and talked to us about something important: Fire safety!
The firefighters told us all about how fires start and what we can do to stop them. They showed us the cool clothes and hats that firefighters wear, and they even let us try them on! We looked just like real firefighters!
However, the most important thing they wanted us to remember was what we must do in the middle of a fire. They told us to always stay low to the ground and crawl (爬行) to the nearest door. They also showed us how to use a fire extinguisher (灭火器) and call for help.
At the end of the visit, the firefighters gave us a test to see how much we learned. I was so proud of myself because I got all the answers right!
Several weeks later, we had a fire drill (消防演习) at school. The alarm went off, and we had to leave our classroom quickly. At first, I felt a little nervous, but I remembered everything the firefighters taught us. I stayed low to the ground, crawled to the door, and got outside. After the drill, our teacher reminded us that all the safety rules we learned are there to protect us and that we must take them seriously.
Now, whenever I hear the sound of a fire alarm, instead of being nervous, I feel prepared. To me, fire safety is not just a school lesson for a young student. Instead, it’s a lifelong skill that will always keep me safe.
