One day, Mrs. True, my teacher, organized a poetry contest after we have just studied various types of poems. My classmates all wrote to their family members, but I put the word into my poem carefully: “I love Penny.” Penny was my 3-year-old dog, that was my best friend. My classmates felt strange and wondered how. However, I felt really moving when Mrs. True still showed off my poem to my classmates. As result, this contest became a turning point in my life. From now on, I fell in love with writing and have even become an editor of a newspaper. I really respect Mrs. True and teachers like him for encouraging us to follow our hearts.
