MANY 15-year-olds don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. Abby Harris knows she wants to become an astronaut and isn’t letting anything stop her.
According to Harris’ Internet blog, Astronaut Abby, she has wanted to be the first astronaut to walk on Mars since she was 5 years old.
Harris wrote that at the beginning, most people didn’t take her dream seriously. But she stuck with (坚持) it.
“I made plans, I worked hard and I focused on (集中于) my goal. As I got older and continued to stay focused on science, people in my life began to notice and encouraged me to dream big,” she wrote.
In the 7th grade, Harris was doing a project on the International Space Station. She set up a Twitter account to get in touch with NASA. But soon she found that it was a great place for her to write about her dreams and talk with others who are interested in space. Her friends on Twitter then helped her create her website and blog, Astronaut Abby.
What’s more, Harris has a real astronaut as her mentor. Several years ago, Harris ran into Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano at an airport. They talked for an hour and Parmitano agreed to become her mentor. Now Parmitano is in the International Space Station. Harris e-mails him every day to learn about his experiences.
It’s not easy to become an astronaut, but Harris is confident about herself.
“If you work really hard at something, it can happen. And it will happen,” she said.

                             Table Manners in America
         Don’t circle your plate with your arms. If you do so, you will
become the focus(焦点) of the table. Everyone would wonder,"Is
there anything wrong with the food?" This may give a wrong message
that you don't like the food or something like that.
     Don't push the plate back when finished. Leave it where it was.
Do you want to let the hostess(女主人) know that you've just
done a labour?
     Don't lean(倚靠) back and say"I'm through"or"I'm full". Just
put the fork and knife across the plate. That's all.
     Don't cut up everything before you start to eat. Cut only one
or two bites(块) at a time.
     Never take a huge mouthful of anything. Do you want to show
how hungry you are? Don't do that. It's not so good.
     It's never good   to reach across the table for anything. If the
thing you want is not at hand, simply ask the nearest person for
help, like “Mrs Smith, could you pass me the dish?”

　　Most parents don’t think their children feel lonely．If parents attentively listen to kids talking about their feelings, they may be surprised to learn just how many kids feel lonely．

　　A seven-year-old girl, Christa, who when asked to draw a picture of disappointment, gives an image of a friend throwing snow in her face and says that, “True friends don’t do that．I’m going to find a new true friend．” The story shows a major cause of a childhood sense of loneliness－hope for friendship．

　　Children also feel lonely, and even disappointed at home．Kids may complain that, “Dad is frustrated and Mom yells a lot,” or, “My dad is on the computer all the time．Dad works too much．” The kids feel lonely in this environment of parents’ stress．

　　If a child does something wrong because of loneliness, punishment will make her more lonely．She needs to understand why her parents couldn’t give her enough attention at that particular moment and that she wasn’t the cause of their bad feelings．So parents had better not punish children who are feeling lonely and disappointed, but try to help their children and also themselves be relaxed and comfortable．

　　Truly, all parents need to pay more attention to how their actions impact their friends, daughter and sisters, but the most powerful way lies in giving children like Christa the tools to feel good about herself and know that she is worthy of true friends, caring parents, and loving sisters．In your children’s lives they will not be able to control others, but they can control how they feel about themselves．Self-confidence will bring “true friends” on the present-day playground and for the rest of their lives, which is a gift that will make kids’ biggest dreams come true．
