　　My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe．When German soldiers occupied his hometown, the thriving city of Tarow, Poland, he refused to obey them and eventually joined the Soviet army to fight for his country’s freedom．“Stand straight, stand tall,” he told himself．

　　After the war, in 1947, he boarded a boat for Manhattan．He was hungry and suffering from seasickness．All alone in a new country, he was frightened about his future．Still, he marched head-on into the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York．Soon he met other European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way．If they could do it, why couldn’t he?“Stand straight, stand tall,” he would remind himself．

　　Thanks to the help of a loyal and trusting friend, my grandfather gained a jewelry booth on Canal Street, New York City．He once told me how nervous he was on that first day of work．He was not only trying to learn this tough new business, but also a new language．

　　To his surprise, the men in neighboring booths－who could have taken advantage of him－offered their help and advice．Within months, my grandfather was commanding his spot behind the counter, selling diamonds and cultured pearls as if he’d been doing it his whole life．

　　Stand straight and stand tall．

　　In later years, my grandfather would take both my mother and her sister down the aisle at their weddings．As he stood with each of them, he thought about their new beginnings, and of the adventures and journeys they would experience together．He also thought about the children who would one day carry on his family name．

　　I am so proud to be one of those children．Listening to my grandfather’s remarkable experiences has changed the way I view my own life．

Dear students,

　　I'm very happy to be your guest speaker today．It's a great pleasure to visit your school and meet all of you here．

　　I would like to tell you about myself．I have been a reporter for the last fifteen years．I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons．My work is sometimes boring but for most of the time it is amazing and inspiring．I have seen wars, earthquakes, poverty and death．But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness．

　　In India, I visited a city．There were many homeless children in it．Some were young and lived in the streets．But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them．In one whole year, she was looking after two hundred kids, feeding them, teaching them anti giving them hope．

　　Another time．I was in Japan and met a young girl with a serious illness．after seven operations(手术), she had to have thirteen more in hospital．However, when I met her, she was still smiling．

　　Here in China．after the terrible Wenchuan Earthquake, I found a three－year－old boy whose name is Lang Zheng．He had been in the ruins(废墟)for more than ten hours before he was found and saved out by the rescuing soldiers．Though weak and injured．the brave boy lifted his right hand above the head with difficulty and saluted(向…致敬)the soldiers around, which became the most moving moment in the disaster(震灾)．

　　Thanks to the experience as a reporter, I myself am getting braver and stronger．When I face challenges in my life．I always remember the courage of the three people．
