    Last month while I were walking in the street, the foreigner came towards me. She seemed to be lost. She asked me if I could help him. I said yes, but when she started talking, I couldn’t understand that she said. I could only say “I don’t know”, and then slowly walk away. Though I have studied English for six years, but I still can’t understand English good enough. I know I’m not interested in English and I’ve also been very lazy to study it. Now I know the importances of learning English. I’ve decided change my attitude towards English and work hard on it.

Albert Einstein once said, "Only a life lived for others is worth living." A couple of good Samaritans in Splendora, Texas, are living proof (活证明) of that.

    On January 6, Tom Porter and his wife heard a loud crash (碰撞声) and immediately rushed to the aid of a 27-year-old man who had run over a pig and crashed into a tree as a result. Following the crash, the truck was on fire, with the driver's one-year-old baby in the back seat.

    The driver, Carl Lucius, injured his back and broke his leg. The child was caught in her car seat.

    Porter explained, "We were sitting out and heard a loud crash and knew there was an accident on this road, so we came down here."

    As Porter and his wife appeared on the scene, the fire grew ever larger. According to Porter, "The neighbors, said there was a baby still in the truck, so I jumped in the back of it."

    Porter managed to enter tile truck and cut the straps (带子) of the child' s car seat with his knife, freeing the child and finally saving her life. "The baby was in the car seat," said Porter. "And, it' s the same car seat my granddaughter had. But I couldn' t get it undone (解开). Before we left，I threw my knife in my pocket. I cut the straps and pulled the baby out.  I jumped out of the truck and the next thing that happened was the whole truck was in a blaze."

    Pointing to a number of other heroes who helped to save the baby, Porter explained, "Luckily, Junior and another neighbor were there, and when I pulled the baby out through the back window, they grabbed the baby, and just a couple of seconds later, the truck was burning pretty good.”

The baby was rushed to Memorial Hermann--Texas Medical Center, where she was treated for slight injuries.

When I was in junior high school, what my friends thought of me was real important to me. During those, years, I grew much taller than most of my classmates. I didn't want to be laughed at for my unusual height, so I went along with the crowd who would play jokes on other kids at school. Of course, the jokes were directed at others and not at me.

    Once my friends and I put IcyHot (止痛贴) in the shorts of one of the kids on the basketball team. Not only was he terribly embarrassed, but he also had to go to the school nurse' s office.

    My father didn' t think that my behavior was funny, He reminded me about the golden rule: to treat others as I would like to be treated. What I was doing was hurting other kids, and in turn hurting my reputation (名声) as someone to be looked up to. My friends were looking up to me because I was tall, but what did they see'?

    He wanted me to be a leader who was a good example to others. He told me over and over again to be the leader that I was meant to be -- to be a big man in my heart and actions, as well as in my body. I had to question myself whether or not it was important to be the kind of leader and person my father believed I was inside. I knew in my heart that he was right.

    Once I focused on being the best that I could be at basketball and became a leader in the game, I took  my responsibility (责任) to set a good example more seriously. I sometimes have to stop and think before I  act, and I make mistakes sometimes everyone is human. But I continue to look for opportunities where I can make a difference, and to set a good example.
