In your school，are you allowed to choose the subjects you want to learn？Of course，the answer is “No” here in China.
In America there is a school trying something new.At a high school in Florida，students will be able to choose their own classes.We all know that some students are better at some subjects than others.Some students plan to go on to college，while others will not.At this school students are able to find subjects they are interested in，and possibly even find the field(领域) they would like to go into after school.They are allowed to choose a subject like biology，math，a foreign language，or study skills like computer or car repair(修理)．
Some people think this is a good idea，because it helps students think about what they want to do in the future，and the school helps to give them the knowledge and skills needed to get there.They say that giving the students the chance to choose their own classes makes high school more interesting.Others disagree.They think that fourteenyearold teenagers are too young to know what they will want to do in the future.
What do you think？Would you like to be able to choose your own classes？Many useful changes have been made in education，but seeing the differences in each student is also important.How can we help each student become a better student?

I was invited to be an instructor(辅导员) at a high school leadership camp this summer vacation.On the first day of camp，I noticed a boy under the tree.He was small，and his shyness made him appear weak and lonely.Nearby，200 campers were playing，joking and meeting each other，but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere else rather than where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel left out.So I walked toward him and said，“Hi，I'm Kevin.It's nice to meet you.How are you？” In a shaky voice，he unwillingly answered，“Okay，I guess.” I calmly asked him if he wanted to take part in the activities and meet some new people.He quietly replied，“No，this is not really my thing.” I could sense that he was in a new world that this whole experience was foreign to him.But I somehow knew it wouldn't be right to push him，either.He didn't need a pep talk.He needed a friend.
The next day，at my first opportunity，I tried again，with the same questions as before.To which he again replied as before.I realized that there was a long way to go.That evening at our nightly staff meeting，I made my worry about him known.I asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could.
The days flew by fast.When the “last dance” came，surprisingly，the boy from under the tree was now a shirtless dancing wonder.He owned the dance floor sharing meaningful time with others.I was happy to see his changes.At that moment，I realized that when you're good to others，you are best to yourself.

As a teenager，I had a lot of anger and was not good at communicating with my parents.
One day，when I was getting ready for school，my mother handed me a Tshirt.It was my father's，not mine.At that time，I was taller and stronger than my father.So when I put the Tshirt on，I felt like I was being choked(窒息) in it！I realized that it was a small mistake by my mother，but the feeling of being choked made me very angry.Without thinking，I ripped(撕破) the Tshirt!
Later，my mother told my father what had happened，“See what your son has done.” Instead of scolding me，my father asked my mother to repair the Tshirt.He then wore it to work the next day.He spent the whole day wearing a ripped Tshirt.
When my mother told me what my father did，I felt sorry about what I had done.At the same time，I was filled with great admiration(钦佩) for my father.His kindness taught me a life lesson I would never forget.On that day，I made a decision that I would never let anger beat me.
