A young girl is smiling at me from a picture frame on my desk as I write this. She is my child I 1 sponsored from the Philippines. Even though I have never met her in person, she has found a 2 place in my heart. It doesn't 3 me much to help her, about a dollar a day. 4, millions of people in this world live on less. The 5 that helping her gives me, however, is beyond 6. It connects me to her, to life, 7 to love.
I can still 8 the first time that I decided to help a child overseas. It was many years ago. I was only a teenager myself and had a little extra 9 each month. I didn't feel like 10 anything, though. We had 11 everything we had in a house fire a few years before. 12 that had taught me a lot. I had learned that I didn't need a lot of "stuff" to be 13. I had also read a lot about the 14 of children in poor countries around the world. It seemed like a far better thing then to give what I could to help them. With my Mom's love and 15, I soon found a few organizations like Children International that were 16 others around the world. It felt so good being able to reach out and help another 17. It felt so good being able to make even one life better. I could feel the compassion and 18 growing within me and beginning to change me.
Empathy (同情) does change us. It helps us to 19, to be kind, and to make this world a 20 place.
Attacking school fears
There are real fears and imagined ones. Most school dangers are imagined.Many students have learned to fear teachers and classrooms, textbooks and tests. So first let's determine what the fears are, and then attack them in a good problem-solving way.
Fear of failure
Most students have plenty of ability to meet school demands. Most assignments and courses are within reason, more likely to be boring than difficult. Once you have had a few successes, you will begin to overcome this fear.
Fear of teachers
This is clearly an unreal fear. Look around at your fellow students. Some of them will be teachers. As you can see, there is nothing special about them. You can get to know them better out of class. Visit them and chat with them.
Fear of talking in class
Anyone can make a mistake, but an hour later people will not even remember a mistake was made. Also keep in mind that your performance in class is almost never the main part of your grade.
This fear can help you watch for real danger. The future can be dangerous. But to let it keep you from trying new things would be to give up life. Your own experience shows that most of the time things work out all right. The more things you try out, the more you will feel at home.
