From the time I was in the third grade, I knew I wanted to be a writer. After the first prize for my story, I spent much of my free time writing wild stories of strange living animals, kids’ fun experiences and poems(诗) of I felt about my world. In the fourth grade, I continued to write. I always took a small notebook with me so I could write whenever I felt writing something down on it.
When I started the fifth grade, my English teacher was Mrs. Foster. She was the teacher I’d ever had. She always had something nice to say about everyone, and she failed to say it out loud. I loved her much that I showed her my notebook and what I had been writing ever since the third grade. When she returned my to me, she had written encouraging notes on them, which made me really great.
“Don’t give up your dream, Kathy,” she said, “I didn’t give up . I always wanted to be a teacher, and here I am.”
I did what Mrs. Foster encouraged me to do. Now I have had most of my stories published (出版) in books and magazines.
The secret of success is to your dream. And sometimes, it takes other dreamers to help keep your dreams alive. I’m glad Mrs. Foster was a dreamer too.

As I look back on it now, I realize it was kind of silly of me to be so worried when Daddy was really just late. I waited every night for Daddy whom I followed around everywhere.
That day, I stood at my place by the door, waiting for his return from work.
After standing there for a while, I began to where Daddy was. I ran into the kitchen and asked Mummy ,“When is Daddy coming? ”
“ Soon, honey, ”Mummy replied distractedly (心不在焉的) because she was following a difficult recipe(cookbook) for dinner.
I ran back to the door for I knew that Daddy was coming and that I wasn’t standing there for nothing, I began to read the words from my favorite books.
Tired of that, I went back to the kitchen to ask Mummy again but I could open my mouth, she handed me a My little Pony coloring book. She said: “I’m busy, Daniel. Go and a pretty picture and I’ll hang it on the fridge. ”
I went back to the door, put my book and crayons (蜡笔) down, then went to get my mini chair to sit in. After a while, the became a pink-and-purple artistic wonder.
Soon I with relief (放心) as I heard the sound of the garage door and Daddy’s car driving in. I heard him turn off the engine and open and close his car door. The next thing I knew was that the door opened and there stood Daddy. I stood up and my arms . I hugged him tightly and whispered, “I love you”.
As I sit at the computer finishing this story, I know Daddy will be home soon. I still when he’s late. I still go to greet him when he arrives. And I still tell him I love him.
