4．Alexis was hot and tired．With rage in her voice she shouted，"Pull me up!I give up，I hate this．This is stupid！"It was at that moment when Jason，the adviser on the trip，looked at me and said，"Ed，I'm going to go down and talk with her．"I then shouted down to Alexis，"Hold on!You can do this．We know you can！"
Jason grasped another rope，put his climbing harness（系带）on and began to repel down the cliff．Within moments Jason was beside Alexis．She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted outward．Jason said to Alexis，"I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time．Your feet and fingers are cramping（痉挛）up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire．But，Alexis，you are strong，look how far up you are already．You have taken one of the more difficult paths up the cliff．Look Alexis，look at the path you have taken．"
At that moment，Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down．The bright white chalk she used on her hands to give her a better hold，showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff．Jason was right．Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff．Jason then looked straight into Alexis'eyes and in a calm voice he said，"You are not alone out here，there are people who care about you，who want to help you and see you succeed．We are going to do this together．Are you ready？"Slowly she shook her head yes and took a deep breath．

3．Hey，mom，I want you to stop dropping me off at the airport for some trip that I am about to take and start becoming my seatmate．I want to travel with you----just you．
I want to explore a new place with a woman who raised me，who put up with my teenager anxiety and my rebellious （叛逆的） college years．I want to see my favorite cities with the lady who taught me basic life lessons，such as looking both ways before crossing the street，how to use a glue gun，and that the most important thing in the world is to help others．
I always appreciated the vacations you planned for our family．I also remember how you watched me as I read The Great Gatsby on the balcony at midday．I wonder if you felt proud of me．These days，I am sick of traveling to places with wishy-washy（无主见的） friends．I want to travel with a strong woman who can see how capable I am of learning to speak French or hiking on a glacier or eating something as unpleasant-smelling fruit．
Now I want you to see how much I grow up while abroad---I'm a different person，Mom．And I know you'd be different too．I know that someone has shared a similar burst of emotion while diving into Australia's Great Barrier Reef for the first time．
So what do you say，Mom？Will youthrow responsibility to the wind？I want to travel with you．Let's just go---we can go anywhere in the world，just you and I．You can pick the place，and I will do the rest．
Love，
Katka

Bethany Meilani Hamilton was born on February 8，1990Kauai，Hawaii，where she grew up with two older brothers．Hamilton's parents were both surfers and they started teaching Bethany how to surf at a young age，and she learned quickly with the support of her brothers．By age 8，Bethany was winning first place in surfing contests for her age group．Hamilton began competing more seriously at the age of nine，winning several more competitions in her age group．
On October 31，2003，while surfing with friends near Tunnels Beach，a 14-foot tiger shark attacked her．Bethany said，"My arm was hanging in the water，and it just came and bit me．It kind of pulled me back and forth．But I just held onto my board and then the shark let go．"The shark tore off Bethany's left arm just below her shoulder．Hamilton's friends rushed her to the hospital．Bethany made it through several surgeries without infection （感染），and miraculously survived even though she had lost almost 60% of her blood．The doctor said that her athletic training helped her to survive the attack and blood loss．
While she was healing，Bethany thought for a while that she might not surf again．She was concerned that it would be much harder to stand up on the board using only one hand and that her balance would be completely off．But with hard work and determination she returned to surfing．She says，"It's hard for me to describe the joy I felt after I stood up and rode a wave in for the first time after the attack．I was greatly thankful and happy inside．The tiny bit of doubt that would sometimes tell me'you'll never surf again'was gone in one wave!"
As for fear of another shark attack，Bethany says that sometimes her heart pounds when she sees a shadow （阴影） under the water．But she believes that faith provides hope and a future for those who feel down and defeated in their lives．
Bethany's popularity and hope for the future led her to partner with World Vision to create"Surfing for Children in Crisis"．Bethany hopes that her involvement in the campaign will help provide disabled children from around the world with care，support，and hope．
