At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.

By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live dad push me round in my them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

+ 加入清单i"ll tell you an experience of myself happened last week. last thursday our school was tackling something about woking fou study. i wanted to have a try even though i knew the salary was so low and i had little chance,because the students who had the certificate were always thought to have priority to get the job. fortunately i was called at noon and a teacher said to me that she wanted me to work for her and asked if i could change my mind.
at that moment i was so excited that immediately i accepted her idea. but later on,she found me that i"m not a student,so i had little chance and suggest me to get one. then an idea occurred to me that i could call my father and ask him to send me the letter. at the same time i was told that i was admitted to the job and don"t need the certificate.
that time i forgot to remind my father,until the next day he called me that he had posted it and it would arrive in just one day. at that moment i was moved, and even moved into tears, because i knew my father was injured not long before,the process of helping me with the affairs was not so convenient for him.
but he tried his best to help me. sometimes we may complain about unsatisfying things around us,and blame them on our parents,sometimes they"ll be angry with us, and sometimes we can"t quite understand what they are thinking about. but on balance, almost every parent is selfless to his or her child. they are ready to offer everything to us when we are in bad situation. we used to sharing sorrow with them,but do not forget to share our happiness with them, perhaps they will be much happier than we are. so from now on, let"s care more about our parents and do not leave pity to them. that"s what i want to tell you today. thank you!

+ 加入清单春节的脚步慢慢向我们走来,大家,这正在盼着它静悄悄的走来。这不仅是一个让人们愉快的节日,而且对于小孩们来说,是充满了欢乐的。
在综合课上,我们了解到了过春节的习俗是包饺子、贴春联、放鞭炮、拜年、穿新衣服、走亲戚、拜好友……
我们班上的同学都很喜欢过年,他们说:“过年可以得到很多很多的压岁钱,还可以穿新衣服,在走亲戚的时候,还可以和自己的朋友玩一会儿,就感觉非常好,再说了,大年初一那一天,出门拜年还可以吃到很多的糖。”
春节那一天,我们都会很早起床,这是为什么呢?因为我们都要给大人们显摆显摆自己的新衣服,还可以早早的吃长香甜可口的水饺,再说了,我们早起床也可以和哥哥姐姐们玩(因为过年的时候哥哥姐姐们也会再起来到奶奶家里来的),这样就形成了过年我们早早起床的理由。
在春节那一天,会有许许多多的人来自己家里来拜年,我们则有两种选择,第一:跟着家里的大部队(这里指哥哥姐姐或者是爸爸妈妈、叔叔大爷们)一起去给别人拜年,第二:留在家里等着其他的人来给自己拜年。有了这两种选择,我们就会觉得过年非常好,而我则是今年留在家了,等着别人来给我拜年,明年就跟着家里的大部队一起出“洞”给别人拜年去。
你们瞧,过春节真是多才多样呀,大家一定都非常喜欢过春节吧!就让我们大家一起来盼春节吧!
