  A good teacher is many things to many people.In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded (要求) the most discipline (纪律) from their students.

  I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school.I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person.I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door.It was a simple sign that said,“Laborato ry-in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (强调), not the last seven.”In other words, I guess, labor(劳动) for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.

  She prepared her work very care-fully and demanded us to do the same.We got lots of homework from her.Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the home-work load would be reduced, but it con tinued just the same.She checked our work by stamping her name at the bot tom of the papers to show that she had read them.

  I think sometimes teachers who de mand the most are liked the least.But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit (有益于) the students.

     When I was at primary school in the second grade, I used to follow my elder sister who is five
years older than me. She loved sports and was always playing basketball and softball. She was also
a runner and was good at it. She brought home some running awards, so I was motivated and started
running, too.
     I started training at school and never missed even a day. Even if it was raining, I was training. At first
I was not very good; but as the years passed, I got better and better and started to win some competitions.
Breaking records
      In 1994, I won the Mexican National Championships. Later, I won fourth place in the Pan-American
games that were held in Santiago de Chile. In 1996, I broke the Mexican record; and in 1997, I won
fourth place in the Central American Games. In 1997 and 1998, I again won the Mexican National
Championships and broke the Mexican records. Now I want to improve my personal record of 19
feet, 2 inches.
Plans for the future
     I'm in Houston now, training with coach Tom Tellez at the University of Houston. He is the best
coach in the world. He also trained Carl Lewis, one of the best US athletes. I have the support of my
parents who always come with me to all my meets. I think that's why I'm where I am. Next year
 I have some very important competitions. One of them is in Canada in July 1999. I hope I do well.
