Kasey Kaczmarek: When I read “Would my dad love me?” by Martha, I related to how Martha felt about her father. I always wondered if my dad cared about me, or if he even loved me. All the kids would be with their dads and they would ask me where my dad was, and I would tell them that he was out of town. For all you kids who have a dad, tell him how much you love him because there are plenty of kids who would love to have a dad.

Armen Abidian: This article describes everything about me and my life. When I was about 3 years old, my mother and father had a big argument and got divorced. Now I’m 13 years old and I haven’t seen my father for 10 years. Just like Martha, I don’t know what he looks like now, whether or not he’s got married to a different woman, or if he has another child.

Emma Ramirez: When Martha talked about how “most girls have dads who take them to their practices, buy them things and play with them”, I thought I was one of those girls. I never stopped to think about how there are girls who have always dreamed of having those things but don’t have a father. After reading what Martha wrote, I told myself I would always appreciate the days I spend with my dad because I am very lucky to have a dad who does so much for me.

Stephanie Felix: This article reminded me of how much I missed my dad when I was younger. I really relate to this article because I used to always wonder about my dad, but not any more. Life without my father has made me more independent and responsible. By reading this article I remember all of this and I was able to understand what the writer was talking about.

There were about fifteen of us drawing and writing with chalk(粉笔) to spread hopeful messages in front of a railway station. We? 1 with only about ten adventurers but as the momentum(动力)? 2 , we gained more energy, creative inspiration, and people. In the beginning, many people stopped? 3 because they were curious about our actions. Later when we went on to chalk up some? 4 colors and phrases on the floor, more people came over to see what we were? 5 doing.I wrote on the floor, “Hope: there is nothing stopping you.”?

One particular man came out of the station,? 6 as if he had a tiring day. Although it was crowded, he 7 to get close to us to read the writing on the floor. He had a 8 on his face. He was looking carefully and nodding his head. He seemed very interested, so I went over to him and asked him to join us. The natural 9 of most people who passed by, including him, was, “No, I don^,t have 10 . I have other plans this evening. Thank you so much.” I left him with a choice, “Well, it?s up to you.” Then I continued to chalk up on the floor.?

About fifteen minutes later, I 11 and found he was still around, clearly attracted by us. He talked to someone on the phone, and I supposed he was 12 his plans for the evening, He then came over and said, “I think I do have a 13 to spread after all.”?
