Dear students,

I am glad to be your guest.

I would like to tell you something about myself. I have been a news reporter for fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel around the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen hungers, wars and earthquakes, but I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.

In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They slept in the streets and lived by begging or stealing. Then, a time until she found wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them and taught them. She gave them hope.

Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake. In one place, I found an old lady whose house was destroyed. Her son was missing and rescue(救援) workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She didn’t stop until she found her son. He was alive.

Here in China, I met a young boy who suffers from a serious disease. He had twenty operations(手术) and spent almost his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and bright.

In life, we need role models that we can learn from. When my life is different, I try to recall these three people.
