My mother is cool﹣much cooler than most people．I give her full credit for making me the person who I am today．To thank her，I'd like to share some of the things she taught me．
（1）
No matter how hard things got，my mom could always joke about them．It has taught me things are never， ever， end﹣of﹣the﹣world kind of bad．I'm sure this has made me a more relaxed person．
（2）
My mother made her own clothes she felt like wearing．Soon enough， people asked her to make clothes， and it turned into a full﹣time business．That shows me how you can set up your own business by expressing yourself truthfully．
（3）
As a creative， my mother always encouraged us to do imaginative things for enjoyment and discouraged TV．We dressed up in costumes， drew pictures， and sang at the top of our lungs．Today， I am a very fun person to be with．
（4）
My mom has always pushed me towards becoming independent． Not for her good，but for mine．I made my own decisions without her trying to manage me．Because of this，I grow up to be completely independent．
（5）
Growing up， I've made my fair share of mistakes．Instead of saying "I told you so"，my mom always let me work things out myself．She was also there to help me pick up the pieces，if I ever needed help．
For all that you've done and everything that you are﹣thank you，mom!

"Are we going to have anything （3）e besides chicken？We need to have at least one vegetable for each meal，"，said Mum．
"We can have cabbage，"Henry said．
After he finished shopping，it was time to make his （4）f meal．He believed that this would be his favourite meal．Since he had never cooked，his parents were both there to help him． "There's a lot to do，"Henry thought，as he looked at the mess in the kitchen．He was usually playing games outside while his parents were making dinner．
It took almost two hours to cook．When dinner was finally finished，Henry was tired and（5）h ．But he was so excited﹣he made dinner!
"I don't like cabbage，" cried Sophia，Henry's little sister，at the table．Henry felt quite upset．He had worked so hard on dinner，but it was（6）i to get everyone happy about every part of every meal!

Paul was my little brother，and he was special．He was different from me because he sat in a wheelchair，and he was blind．Lots of times when we walked with Paul，other kids came over and asked us why he was in his chair and why he couldn't s（1） ．They thought he was different because he had his own school bus and had to go to a special school．But that's not really the reason．Paul was different for the things just our family knew about，only we knew the s（2） that made him special．
Paul helped me hear small sounds．Every time I was with him，I'd have to be q（3） to hear the flying birds and the talking trees he heard．
Paul helped me exercise．When we went for a walk，we'd often go uphill．When I pushed his chair all the way to the woods at the t（4） ，I was really getting my exercise!
Paul h（5） ever complained．He went along with whatever the rest of us wanted to do．One time when he had a fever，he got uncomfortable，but he never shouted or fought or asked me to switch the TV channel．
Sometimes Paul let me put things in his hand．We played a kind of guessing game．I put different toys there for him to f（6） ．He was always surprised when I let him hold something new．
Paul was my friend．He couldn't talk to me like most of my friends，and he couldn't run outside to play．But he wasted here for all the peaceful times，and he had the best smile in the world．
I was l（7） to grow up with him as his sister．He helped me to realize that there is a good side to every situation，if we simply make the choice to find it．
"Olyvia， love is simple． You don't have to do much to make someone happy． "That was what my mother said to me when I was a child． Over a year ago， I had a chance． My good friend Kaylee told me about her （1）t to a small town called Gary， and how it was a life﹣changing experience． I made up my mind to go there myself．
When I told my parents about the decision， they didn't （2）a at first． They said I didn't know much about the place． They were worried that it was not （3）s for me to go there． Thankfully， after I explained my plan to them in detail， they said yes．
When our group arrived in Gary， I noticed how different the town was from where I lived． There were few stores or restaurants in the town； most had closed． So you would be very （4）l if you could find a place to buy food or drinks． Houses were built on small hills． Many of them had broken doors or windows． My job was to help the local people to （5）r houses．The work days were long and hot， but it was really good to see the houses taking on a new look day by day．
The children there were also different． They seemed to enjoy every moment in life though they were poor． The smallest things would make these kids happy． I couldn't find words to describe their （6）j when they received an ice﹣cream， a ball or even a kiss． The community was like a big family． Everyone knew each other and was there when someone needed help．
I am so glad that I had this unforgetable experience． I truly learned the （7）m of what my mother said． You don't need to do much to make a difference to other's lives．
