     When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach
(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级学生).
John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join
our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he
could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted
the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
     About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning
various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out
for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since
you're so good at it."
     John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could
do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."
     From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down
to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves,
I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
