3 . I was born in a poor community on the north side of Boston, US, raised by a single mother who didn’t finish 3rd grade, lived each day on food stamps and attended what the media called “the most dysfunctional (功能失调的) public school district”. Not many people expected much of me, so I had to expect.

On my 13th birthday, I bought a poster of Harvard to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became what I dreamt about. Even if my electricity was cut off, I still woke up at 5:30, because I knew that my poster of Harvard was still hanging only two feet away from me.

Reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices I saw my peers making, because those paths wouldn’t have had me closer to my goal. Being poor could not take away my power to decide what I choose to do with my day. The poster gave me the courage to send emails to about 50 Harvard students to ask for feedback on my application essays; it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when my friends were asleep; and it gave me the determination to submit just one more scholarship application when 180 others had already turned me down.

Every day, I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship checks started coming in. Finally, an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!” A month later, Harvard flew me up to visit the campus where for the first time I stepped onto my dreaming land.

Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow?

9 . My son was one of the students who served as a volunteer in different services while in a high school. Nowadays it is________for high schools to have a volunteer service hour minimum as a part of their graduation________ .

One day, I asked him why he worked long hours voluntarily every week. He gave me a reply________his years. He said, “Mom, you should not do community service just because it was assigned and you just need to________it in. You should do it because of the effects it has.” In many ways his opinion is________reasonable, and though the service hour requirement actually does get students to participate in volunteer work in their communities, does it________them to volunteer in the future?

A study found that when 8th graders in some schools were asked to accumulate________volunteer hours, those same students were no longer doing any service by their senior year of high school. It________that compulsory volunteer hours led to a “potential loss in long-term volunteering”. ________, other researchers discovered that young people were more likely to vote and attend civic life in other ways as a result of their________to community service in high school.

If teens________the significance of doing volunteer work and do it with a bit of enthusiasm, serving others in their communities will bring in a lot of unexpected________.
