Love, success, happiness, family and freedom—how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.
Question: Could you introduce yourself first?
Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I’m a web designer.
Q: What are your great memories?
A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.
Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.
Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?
A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
Q: How do your get along with your parents?
A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.

When I met Mr Jim Lemon I was a seventeen-year-old freshman at Houston's Jackson Junior High.The chances of my finishing high school were 1. I was a troubled teenage.
Mr Lemon taught American history and was quite 2from the other teachers I had known. Not only was he 3, but also he was a great teacher. He pushed and never tolerated the mediocrity(平庸) that had become my standard.
On the occasion of our first semester report cards, Mr Lemon 4me aside and asked how it was possible that I was a B student in his class and a C student in the 5of my classes. I passionately told him about my 6parents, the local gangs, the drugs, the fights, the police---all of the evils I had been 7to. It was then that Mr Lemon 8explained that the only person 9for my situation was me. And the only person with the 10to change my situation was me. He 11me that I was failing not because I was a failure. He inspired me to become a better student and he 12my life.
Ten years later I was preparing to graduate from a university when I spoke to him again .13I did get him on the phone, I told him that I had been saving money so that I could invite him to come to Hawaii at my 14to be a part of my graduation.
I'11 never forget his 15. He said,"Who is this again?" I was just one of hundreds of the students whose life he changed 16he had no idea of his influence.
Mr Lemon never came to my graduation, but his 17taught me another valuable lesson. His final lesson for me was that we will never know or understand the 18we have on other people's lives. He taught me that we all have the 19to effect people's lives for the 20... Or for the worse.
