Dr. Scott Witt was at home with his family when he received a call from the hospital he works at informing him that they were going to evacuate(疏散) the patients because a deadly wildfire was spreading.
Witt decided to head to the hospital since he needed to make sure his patients were safe. He felt like these patients were like his own families. ＂The only way I could take was to get on my motorcycle,＂ said Witt, who failed to get to the hospital in his truck since the parts of the roads were closed off or impassable in big vehicles. ＂I had to avoid where the fire had spread to,＂ he said.
By the time he arrived, the fire was reaching the parking lot. The hospital already smelled with a lot of smoke and he wanted to move everybody to safety. With the hospital staff’s help, Witt managed to evacuate all his eight patients into an ambulance that rushed them to a nearby hospital. Even though Witt had done more than enough, he decided to follow the ambulance onto the freeway to make sure the patients would be made to the hospital. ＂At one point, there was some fire and live wire on the freeway,＂ Witt said. ＂After getting far away from the fire, I said to the ambulance driver, ‘I don’t know if it’s the most scary thing I’ve seen but close to it.'＂
After sending the patients to safety, Witt then went back to check on his home, which was burned to the ground by the time he got back. Fortunately, he was grateful his family was unharmed in spite of their blame.
Now, Witt is being known as a hero, but he insists he just did what he felt was right.

Dear Sir,
I think it important for children to learn how to do chores and help their parents with houseworks. Children these days, depend on their parents too much. They are always asked, "Could you get this for me? " or"Could you help me with that? " Doing chores help to develop children's independence and teach them how to look after themselves. It also helps them to understand idea of fairness. Though they live in one house with their parents, but they should know that everyone should do their part in keep it clean and tidy. Our neighbor’s son got into college but during his first year, he had no idea how to take care of him. As a result, he often fall ill and his grades dropped. The earlier kids learn to be independence, the better it is of their future.
