On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley saved me.

The previous afternoon, I played with my six-year-old peers in Heather Peters¡¯ backyard. I was enjoying my cake, when Heather asked me where my sleeping bag was. Only then did I know this party was a sleepover. The word ¡°sleep-over¡± to a six-year-old bed-wetter is like what ¡°cancer¡± means to an adult. But what if I told them I was a bed-wetter? At least with cancer, people gather at your bedside instead of running from it.

I thought of a way to escape. I would explain that I needed my mother's permission to spend the nights. But as I called my Mom, Heather stood beside me to listen. She granted permission! Then I would be sleeping in the same living room as the other girls. I didn't bring my own pajamas (˯ÒÂ)£¬so Mrs. Peters offered me Heather's pajamas.

As the other girls drifted into their sweet dreams, I tried to stay awake. ¡°Do I need to go again? I'll stay up to go one more time.. .¡±.Of course , I finally fell asleep.

The next morning , I was the first to wake up. I was warm! I lay in panic for what seemed like hours before the other girls started to wake up. I did the only thing I could do ¡ª I pretended that the bed-wetting didn't happen. I got up, took off Heather's pajamas and changed into my clothes like the other girls.

Mrs. Peters walked into the room, and before she could say anything, she stepped right onto the pile of my wet pajamas. My heart stopped as I watched her face burn red. ¡°WHO DID THIS?¡± She screamed, with a look so frightening. Should I answer? And that was when it happened ¡ª Mr. Peters came in and grabbed his wife , ¡®¡®Elvis Presley died!¡±

The news of the King's death overtook Mrs. Peters, and I ,was spared. I got home without the other girls knowing what had happened.

It was a bad time for me . I was low emotionally and tired physically. Probably because of this I hadn¡¯t shaved for a few days. Also, because I had been doing some repairs at my daughter¡¯s house, I was dressed quite scruffily. Boarding the bus to go home I saw it was almost full so I found a rail to lean against.

That was when a young woman, sitting with her child, stood up and offered me her seat. ¡°Wow !¡± I thought. Out loud I said, ¡°Do I look that old and tired?¡± She replied,¡± You look like you¡¯ve had a tough day.¡± I thanked her sincerely and stayed standing.

A moment later a man rose from his seat at the back of the bus and made his way towards me, squeezing past several people on the way. Then he told me about his addiction problems, asked for my advice, and just chatted about life for a few minutes. Then he went back to his seat. Very random!

Watching him go, I also looked at the bus£­load of people between me and his seat. He hadn¡¯t chosen to talk to those strangers. He chose to talk to this stranger, for whatever it meant to him and whatever comfort it brought him. Why?

That¡¯s when it occurred to me. I must have looked like I had been where he was. I probably looked like a man who would understand a difficult life. I was humbled and uplifted at the same time by the realization that even when we are at our lowest we can still help others¡ªif we look like we might be able to meet them where they live or walk a while in their world.

When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we¡¯re hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.

One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor¡¯s degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there¡¯s a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a ¡°three-year degree¡± model.

I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly ¡°throw out¡± one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist ¡°diluting(Ï¡ÊÍ)¡±the quality of the education they offer.

In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it¡¯s not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns(ʵϰÉú)in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University.
