My twelve birthday was the most unforgettable and special one. On that day, I received a life-changing gift for my grandmother. It was a pair of roller skates. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened a box. The shoes were so beautiful. The shoes total changed my life. I was used to be shy and had no friends, because I was scared to talk with others. The moment I learn how to skate, I became confidence and outgoing. I made plenty friends by doing this. I’m thankful to my grandmother. Now I’m a happy girl and believe in me. I smile after I meet new people.

I almost didn’t wake up in time for school this morning. I stayed up late last night, prepare my lessons. The alarm clock goes off, but I didn’t hear them because I was too tired. It was already 7 o’clock when I opened my eye. The first thing I was aware was that I would be late. Terrified, I ran to school and without having breakfast. I didn’t want to be criticizing by the teacher, nor did I want to be laughed at by my classmates. Lucky, I rushed into the classroom in the last minute. We had a test today, for that I was well-prepared and it was so easy a exam that I got high marks. What an exciting experience!

Stand in front of a shelf,he was doing her best to put a book back in place. Therefore, he was too short to place it. I walked to him,asking him if he needed help. He thanked me and handed me the books. I said that I was glad to helping him,a boy who was thirsty for knowledge. Hearing of this,he smiled.

When I am in high school, there was an time when I failed to recognize the importance of learning. I even thought useless to study at school. And my English teacher Lester made me to change my mind. He provided a new view of learning for us and tried hardly to pull us out of our comfort zone. He opened our eyes to a world big than before. And we realized that learn could be more than just knowledge from text-books and endless home works.   I want to express my sincere thanks to him, without who I can’t be a strong-willed person.
