I come to see if you have a for just one night. I came to the market this morning from eastern shore, and there’s no bus till next morning.” He told me he had been searching for a long time but with no . I told him we would find him a bed, but to rest on the porch(走廊). I went inside and prepared dinner. When we were ready, I asked him if he would like to us. “No, thank you. I have plenty.” After I had the dinner, I went out to talk with him. It didn’t take a long time to see that this old man had very large heart in that tiny body. He told me he fished for a living to his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly disabled from an accident. At bedtime, we put a bed in the children’s room for him.
On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some other fresh sea food I had never seen. In the years he came to overnight with us, and there was a time he didn’t bring us some fish or vegetables from his garden.
I know our family will always be thankful to have known him, from him we learn to accept the bad without and the good with thanks.

Ever since I was very young, I have looked to my parents and grandparents, friends and teachers for guidance. I ask them for answersto everything. Afraid to make a , I’ve asked countless times, “What should I do?”
Maybe I was to take my first baby step on my own. I decided I only wanted to do things the “right” way, even if it meant not doing something.
Sometime during my high school years, I . Maybe it was when I decided to try for the lead in “Beauty and the Beast”. Never mind that I would have to memorize lines and movements, I would take the chance that I might fail. The day of tryouts my heart was beating wildly. My hands were badly when I got up to sing.
But something happened. When I opened my mouth to sing, the sound was loud, powerful and sweet. I reached for the high notes that sometimes were beyond my reach. With no break in my voice, I was trying to do my best even though I might . But I didn’t. I realized that if I wanted to live life to the fullest, I had to take chances.
Now, I do take these chances with baby steps every day, my opinions in class discussions or debates, performing in other school plays.
I have finally learned to myself. I’m taking a tough science course right now. Some of my friends are talking about auditing（旁听）the class so a low grade won’t affect their opportunities for college. I’m taking the chance that if I try enough, I’ll get a good grade so that it won’t lower my strong grades in other subjects.
I have come to realize that even though my parents and grandparents, friends and teachers don’t always have the to “What should I do?”, they will be there to support me when I try.
“Life is learning to deal with Plan B,” my mother told me. But I now know that the Plan A I make for my life will become easier with every I take.
