3 . Britney, 21, will never forget the day her grandmother told her she could never be President. Britney was young. She saw the White House on TV. I'm going to be President,” she said.
"You can't do that," her grandmother said. She added that if Britney wanted to work at the White House, she could only do the cleaning.
Britney saw things differently. She didn't give up her dream. Instead, she wrote a poem（诗）.The poem showed that she could realize her dream.
Britney isn't the first person to deal with unfairness or disappointment by writing. Many writers have done the same thing. Reading poems gives Britney ideas for her writing. One of her favorite poets is Langston Hughes. Hughes was one of the first African-Americans to make a living by writing. Hughes published （出版）his first poem in 1921 when he was 19 years old. He wrote many of his works during the 1920s and 1930s. Back then, African-Americans were kept out of many schools, jobs and neighborhoods. Hughes wrote poems about the difficulties African-Americans faced at that time. He also wrote about his hope for a better fairer future.
Many people, not just black people, read Hughes's works. More Americans learned how hard life was for black people. Slowly, things began to change. Today young poets like Britney are sharing their own messages. Britney herself is moving forward. She's now a student at Howard University in Washington, D.C. She plans to work in the government and still hopes to become President. "I just want to help people." she says. With her thoughtful words, she already has helped many people.

As a teenager, I hated P.E. lessons. I was not very good at sports, and I hated team sports because I always felt like I was disappointing the rest of the team. During these years, I sometimes felt disconnected from my body, like only my brain was “me” and my body was just a vehicle for carrying my brain around.
When I started university, I decided to try Kung Fu Club. To my surprise, I loved it! In my first year most of us were beginners. I used to go two or three times a week. Because it is not a team sport, I didn’t feel guilty about not being very good. And because it is a combat(格斗) sport, you train in pairs, which means that you get to meet people and talk to them. I also appreciated that the focus of the classes was on getting better at kung fu, rather than exercising to change my body. When I was doing kung fu, my body changed—I got stronger and quicker—but the changes were a side effect of the sport, instead of the goal.
When I moved to Italy this year, I decided to start doing a combat sport again. I joined a local martial arts(武术) club and I love it. We do lots of sparring. I think that sparring is like chess, but much faster and much more fun! If your sparring partner tries to hit you hard with his fist, you have to move quickly to avoid him, block or even catch his arm and then throw him to the mat.
When I was a teenager, I would say I just wasn’t a sporty person and that I just didn’t like sport and never would. Now I think that everyone should try as many sports as possible because I believe there is something out there for everyone! I feel connected to my body and I am happier and have more energy when I have been doing sport.
