A lot of teenagers are good at art at school, but how would you feel if people called you “the new Picasso(毕加索)” or if presidents and other famous people collected your paintings?
Alexandra Nechita was ten when her paintings became famous all over the world．She visited Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and her family’s native place(祖籍)Romania where 5,000 fans came to see her at the airport．Alexandra said, “When it all started, I was moved．It was very exciting and I loved the traveling, but I got very tired．And I missed home．”
Alexandra is a good student．Her studies always come first．She only starts painting after she’s done her homework．She works on two or three paintings at a time．The paintings sell for thousands and Alexandra’s parents have given up their jobs to work for their daughter．Life for the Nechita family is very different from what it was like a few years ago．
Alexandra’s father Niki left Romania for political reasons in 1985．At first he tried his best to learn English and had different kinds of low-paid jobs．In 1987, he brought his wife and Alexandra, who was then 18 months old, to America．The family was very poor．Alexandra began to draw at the age of three．
She was drawing for four or five hours a day．Soon people offered to buy her paintings and she had her first art show at the age of eight．Stories about this child appeared in the newspapers and television．They now live in a large house with a swimming pool．Her mother said, “We started without anything, but thanks to Alexandra, we have everything we ever dreamed of．”

It's not easy to be an astronaut's son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he's so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．
Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special－like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star．I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father's Day writing competition for the whole schoo1．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”
When I got home, I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．N0, I wouldn't start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father?Hmm．
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes, these were the things I was going to write．To me, he wasn't just a world－famous astronaut．He was my dad．
My parents and l went to school Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall!My dad looked at me, and I shrugged(耸肩)．
The third prize was announced and it was not me．I was relieved(释然)and disappointed at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．
I went up to the stage and read what I had written,“My father's son”．When I finished, the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son, this is the proudest moment of my life．”
It was the proudest moment of my life, too．Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was enough just to be my father's son．
