Like most children growing up in the countryside, Mike loved being outdoors and traveled around every inch (英寸) of the area. With a deep love of the land, he had a strong wish to 1 it. When Mike saw rubbish floating in the rivers, he got angry. He knew he had to do something. While only in the third grade, Mike started a group. Its purpose was to clean up the countryside and teach other young people about pollution and its danger. But Mike faced a challenge. As he was 2 , he found it hard to speak out in public. However, with his mom's help, Mike3 dealt with his fear. He said. "I took responsibility (责任) and did what needed to be done. When your heart is into it,4 will stop you. " Mike worked hard to introduce his idea to the public. He handed out leaflets (宣传单) and even appeared on radio and TV. His efforts paid off. He won 5 from several thousand people. And his group collected and recycled more than 22, 000 pounds of rubbish.
Now as a college student, Mike's wish remains the same. He often says, "I want to create a better life for my kids and grandkids. It's the beautiful countryside where I was born and I want my kids to see it like I see it. "
