Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student at a ordinary school. Although I felt disappointed at the shabby campus and my poorly-equipped classroom, but I found the teachers impatient and considerate. Beside, I enjoyed the friendly class atmosphere. I decided to make the best it. I worked hard and got along good with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they are always available. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, that greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated. My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who we are.

3 . A public welfare initiative calling for volunteers from all over the country to donate hair to make wigs (假发) for children with cancer, has brought a lot of comfort.
The program, the Black Ribbon Initiative, was initiated by Chongqing University Cancer Hospital in April. Twenty-three students joined in the first round of hair donations to help children who had lost their hair as a result of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
In January 2020, 3-year-old Liu Lizi from Guizhou province was diagnosed with blastoma, a type of cancer. The girl, who received radiation therapy at the hospital, was depressed after losing her beautiful natural hair and being teased by other children.
“For cancer patients, especially those little cancer patients, hair is hope,” said Lai Yun, a volunteer at the hospital.
Before the end of last year, Lizi, who is nearly at the final period of her current radiation treatment, had received 30 treatments. But she is no longer melancholy. In December, not long after a head measurement, she received her first wig made of real hair and found that it suited her well.
One of the hair donors, Li Chaoyang, explained why she got involved, “That day happened to be my 23rd birthday, and I finally made up my mind to sign up for the initiative and donate my long hair as a special gift. I feel like the children’s wearing wigs and dancing with joy has cured me mentally. They shed light in my life, and I hope my hair will be a light that brings them happiness.”
