I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. The job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. I have seen wars, poverty and death, but I have also seen courage(勇气), hope and happiness.

In India, I saw many homeless children. Some were as young as four year old. They lived in the streets begging(乞讨)or stealing. But then q wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them and taught them. She gave them hope.

Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake. I found an old lady whose house was broke down. Her son was missing and people said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.

Here in China, I was surprised when I met a young boy who had had twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.

In life, we need models that we can learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.
