Hey, Tahlia! How's the model?"
I had just taken a bite of my hot dog
1
I heard a familiar voice yelling at me from across the crowded school yard. I saw a group of popular girls who were all
2
.
"What kind of
3
are you going to do? An ad for a Frankenstein movie?" More laughter. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. How could they humiliate (羞辱) me like this,
4
the entire school? As I walked into the cafeteria, I
5
the dark scars on my right hand.
At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water all over my hands and stomach. My parents
6
me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation. I was in so much pain! But what
7
me most were the cruel things people said about how I looked,
8
that day at lunch.
The girls were being supermean to me because they'd heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn't let my scars limit me and that I might
9
a good model.
But after that
10
at school, I was sure I'd made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.
The next day, I
11
myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: "You can't
12
forever, Tahlia. So what if you have a few scars? Just go outside and show them that you're just as good as they are." Although I knew he was right, I couldn’t
13
standing up for myself like that.
However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friend's words replayed in my mind. I'm
14
hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the
15
, and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine,
16
with a few scars.
The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What's more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria,
17
beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt
18
too—free and happy.
Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They
19
and stare, but I don't let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I'11 never
20
posing on the runway, but I do know one thing: I'm done.

Seventeen-year-old Rivertown teenager, John Janson, was honoured at the Lifesaver Awards last night for carrying out lifesaving first aid on his neighbour after a shocking knife
1
.
John was presented with his award at a ceremony(仪式) which recognized the
2
of ten people who have saved the life of
3
person.
John had been studying in his room when he heard
4
. When he and his father rushed outside, they
5
that Anne Slade, mother of three, had been stabbed
6
with a knife by her ex-boyfriend. The man ran from the
7
and left Ms Slade lying in her front garden
8
very heavily. Her hands had almost been cut from her body.
It was John’s quick
9
and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade’s life. He immediately asked a number of
10
people for bandages, but when nobody could put their hands on any, his father got some tea towels(毛巾) and
11
from their house. John used these to dress the most severe
12
to ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the
13
and ambulance arrived.
“I’m
14
of what I did but I was just doing what I had been
15
,” John said.
John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When
16
John. Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme said, “There is no doubt that John’s quick thinking and the first aid
17
that he learnt at school saved Ms Slade’s life. This shows that a simple knowledge of first aid can make a real
18
.”
John and nine other Life Savers also attended a
19
reception yesterday hosted by the Prime Minister before
20
their awards last night.
