【题目】My name’s Evelyn. This February was a special one for me and my family.

On February 17, 2004, doctors took away my heart and put in a new one. I was only three years old at the time. Before I was born, doctors were able to see that I had a heart defect — my heart couldn’t do its job. I had my first heart surgery (外科手术) when I was three days old. More surgeries followed, and soon the doctors found they couldn’t fix my heart. They had to get me a new one. So I got another child’s heart. My surgery went well, and now here I am. Even ten years later, I’m doing great.

Well, it’s not always easy. I see doctors regularly (定期地). Medicine is part of my everyday life. I had to have a surgery in 2008, and I may need more surgeries in the future. No one knows what will happen, and I don’t worry about it.

I don’t feel different from other people, mostly. I like violin, painting and ball games, and I’m in middle school. I have amazing friends. A few of them and I have been friends since I was a little child. I enjoy going to a special camp for kids with heart defects. The year I turned 11, I decided to get a swimsuit to wear at the camp. The camp helped me to be OK with showing my scars (伤疤).

I celebrate my birthday and also my Heart Day, every February 17. It’s a chance to be thankful for my new heart and the family that gave it to me. I have never met the family, but I’d want them to know how thankful I am for my life.
