    My family moved into our home nine years ago. We spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like the way it does today. In front of the house, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. We called this area our "rock garden". Denise and I would also plant some flowers between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area.

    Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn't plant it and Denise said she didn't either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.

    Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed(除杂草)around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.

    That's when I realized that if a tiny little sunflower didn't allow a big rock to stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. Once we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment(养分)for growth as well.

    Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then the environment will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any "rocks" in order to achieve our goals.
