Due to the increasing number of violent acts produced in schools all over the world, more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can assure their safety and well-being. Teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons charged with the safety of the students.
The main reason for violent acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time. They want to do everything. They watch on TV and never think of the results, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher.
On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results.
When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in detail everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper.
And many times, the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to.
However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear that something bad might happen to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a glass bowl only does harm to the child.
All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it’s best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends.

I have been applying, interviewing, etc since July with no prospects(前景). I have been told mostly that I am overqualified, or they need fulltime etc. I had been getting pretty down and discouraged. I was actually asking myself why can’t someone be kind enough to take me on as an .
This past Tuesday evening it was outside and going to be 9 pm as I was waiting at a bus stop. Just as the bus a young woman approached me. She had a T-shirt, Capri pants, and slippers on. She also was wearing several hospital bracelets.
I my purse and took out $5.00 so she could get something to eat. I then took off my jacket and and gave them to her. I said, “These are a little big but they should keep warm.” She looked at me and said “Aren’t you going to be cold?” I told her my being cold for 15 minutes I got to my place was worth it if I knew she would be a little warmer. She sobbed and thanked me with a hug. I just told her to .
Then after I got on the bus that’s the miracle of spreading happened. I stepped up to pay the and the bus driver said, “Mam, I saw what you just did and your fare is me, even though technically we aren’t supposed to let you get on the bus without shoes.” he said with a wink.
A lady who was dressed in a very business suit called me over to her seat. She said, “I want to know the of the person who just did the most thing I have ever seen.” I told her my name and she said , “What can I do for you to what I just witnessed?” I said a paying job would be nice.
The next day she called me and said that she had a administrative assistant position in her company and wanted me to meet with the manager. It that the lady was the head Human Resources person.
I start Monday morning at 9am! Thank you all for inspiring me to keep passing the kindness on! I never expected to get so much back in return!

I wanted to be just like those big kids I saw wearing their medals and carrying their ribbons(绶带). So I____the crosscountry team at my school.
However, I was very slow in the team. In races, I would finish almost____. I'd always have to____in the longer races.The__ __races and at least 100 people competing in it made me really____. Every time I stopped, 10 people would__ __me. But I still couldn't push myself to keep going, even though I____watching them go by me. After every race, I'd go home and burst into tears.
Then one of my friends joined the crosscountry team, too. She never got tired and didn't get cramp(抽筋) in her legs. I just didn't understand how that was____! I'd been running much longer than she had, but she could run__ __while I had to suffer. She even came 8th in a big race with over 200 people in it! My____was lower than ever and I wanted to quit badly.
I didn't, ____. Even a whole month before a race, I'd get so nervous that I felt like I might give up. Still, I____to quit. I still had that____appearing in my mind and I hung on to it.
Finally, I realized the reason why the bigger races made me so nervous was that I was always worried that I wasn't____for them. I started to practice at home almost every day. I____a plan that had me running almost three kilometers every day, which helped me build up a steady____.
When the time came for the big race, all the practice really____. I stopped only once and my pace was much better.
I was____of myself for sticking with it even though it was really hard and I'd even wanted to quit. I showed myself that I was____enough to keep going. That was what made me feel good about myself and gave me confidence.

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time, however hard we work, it seems that there is someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is to me that every musician has a of their own.My father _ several instruments and when he played with other people, it was not difficult to his sound in a group.Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own sound.
I heard of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, " else can make the sound that you make." The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's, but who is to say which is .It is said that, " is in the eye of the beholder .” . Perhaps it could be said that a delightful sound is in the ear of the .
Every person has a different tone of voice that only to them, we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of that is unique to them.It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all.It be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps.
Each person has a(an) on the world in some way.Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it in the same way that you do it.The next time you feel , remember nobody else can make the sound that you make.
