  I was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill.It was, but I can remember my mother's words as if it were yesterday:“Kerrel, I don't want you to take food from your father, because he has AIDS.Be very careful when you are around him.”

  AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up.From then on, I knew that this would be a family secret.My parents were not together anymore, and my dad lived alone.For a while, he could take care of himself.But when I was 12, his condition worsened.My father's other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.

  We couldn't afford all the necessary medication for him, and because Dad was unable to work, I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner.I would sit in class feeling completely lost, the teacher's words muffled as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.

  I did not share my burden with anyone.I had seen how people reacted to AIDS.Kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease.And even adults could be cruel.When my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.

  I had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret.I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days.Sad and hopeless, I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support.That day, she kept me on the phone for hours.I was so lucky to find someone who cared.She saved my life.

  I was 15 when my father died.He took his secret away with him, having never spoken about AIDS to anyone, even me.He didn't want to call attention to AIDS.I do.

  Most people think that making a film is exciting.In fact, sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.Earlier this year, I worked in a new film.It was about a bomb threat on a big British ship.Two hundred people were needed to act as the passengers in the film.I was one of them.

  Before we left, we were wanted to bring some warm clothes.These were necessary because the ship was going to spend the whole 16 days sailing in bad weather.

  Then the day came and we sailed out of Dover.The boat had on board the film crew, the director, the actors and actresses including Brinksley Meers, who acted the leading role, and us 200 amateur(业余的)extras.

  People came for different purposes.Some wanted to meet Brinksley Meers in person.Others were curious to see how a film was made.A housewife with her three children came for free holiday and a bit of adventure.

  During the voyage, a lot of people were very seasick.And although the work was very interesting, it was also very hard.We often worked all day on one scene, performing it again and again under the hot lights.In the evenings, there were drinks in the bar, but most people were so tired that they went to bed early.The next day often began at 6∶30 in the morning, sometimes with breakfast being filmed.

  When the ship finally returned to port, most people had enjoyed the trip, but were also so tired that they at least needed a week's holiday.
