3．I hate nosy （爱管闲事的） neighbors and it's very unlucky that I had one for myself．They moved in a couple of months back and although I never felt that they were a strange family，I've always hated the way they get"too close"to me，my house，my garden，and even my garbage cans．
One day，my neighbors were mowing their lawn （草坪）．My garbage cans were near their lawn．For some strange reason，I found the wife looking through my garbage cans．I felt angry but since they were from a different culture，I thought that maybe it was"normal"from their ideas．
That afternoon，the couple knocked on my front door．When I opened，they gave me a plastic bag．Inside were my old daily bills，credit cards and bank statements，and an old birthday card that my old uncle sent．They said that they were returning them to me because these documents contained very private information that may be used by others．
I've heard of it before．I asked them how those documents can be used by others and they started telling me their very own experience，which forced them to leave their home and move next door to us．The wife told me that she never destroyed the bills．They also had a"nosy neighbor"who looked through their garbage cans which they actually thought was pretty strange．Little did they know that this"nosy neighbor"was collecting their personal information from their rubbish．Then all their money was taken out from the bank by their neighbor．
It was a very painful experience for all of them and they wanted to leave it all behind so they left．I was very thankful．They were not nosy neighbors．They simply didn't want us to experience the same thing that they did．

18．This summer，I was part of something that I have carried with me every day since．That was an experience that changed my life．The Kentucky YMCA has a program called Y-Corps，which are service trips of around 20students．This summer，two trips were made across Kentucky，one down south and another trip up north．
I was on the Y-Corps Service to the North in Indianapolis，Indiana，and our trip began at the end of July．I had butterflies flying around me as my parents drove me to Louisville，where the Service to the North team would set off on a nine-day journey in a school bus．I knew some of the team members from previous Y-Conferences，but there were many that I had never met，and I had never participated in a service trip like this before．Though I was nervous，I was also ready to try something completely out of my comfort zone．Once we loaded the bus with our lightly packed suitcases and sleeping bags，we said our goodbyes to our parents and departed for an adventure that changed all of our lives．
With the Kentucky Y's motto："Participate，don't anticipate （预知）"，we had no idea where we headed．Road signs were our only clue of where we would be stopping．We did service work at a Middle Way House in Indiana，a Detroit Market Garden，a Pennsylvania YMCA for an invasive species clean-up，the Upper Main Line Y in Pennsylvania to spend time with children at a summer camp，a Hurricane Sandy clean-up in Jersey Shore and the National Mall in Washington D．C．We slept on floors of local YMCAs that would take us in for a night，and some nights we didn't have the opportunity to shower．We had late nights on the road driving from city to city，and early mornings to start the day journaling （记录） and reflecting on the day before．
Though we were physically exhausted from the hard work，we still enjoyed the time to experience the culture of the areas we were in．

A．their trip was packed with hard work and cultural experiences

16．I'd planned to spend my weekend in the sun，potting flowers outdoors．But that was before the pair of crows （乌鸦）．Out of nowhere，they had set up their base camp in our backyard．
We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning．It was early，and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood．I figured they'd go away soon．But，no．They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise．I admit I got a little desperate．
Then，on Sunday afternoon，I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground．I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass．Its eyes were milky，and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it．Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away．I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera．
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground，growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above．The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows．
To be honest，I've never been much of a bird person．I also have a healthy respect for birds．They're basically living dinosaurs．
I wish they'd chosen another backyard．There are only so many sunny days in Seattle，and I still can't do any gardening out there．But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close．It's pretty amazing．
The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees，butterflies，and yes，birds．They are welcome here．
