I still remember that day. I was waiting to get some   1for shopping in a bank. Among the crowd, I noticed a little boy carrying some sunglasses in one hand and a big bag in  2 .

The boy was about 10 years old. He was walking around the people inside the  3 and asked them to buy his sunglasses. But   4 would buy any from him. He tried from one person to another. From the look on his face, I knew he would not   5 anyway.

Now, I decided to have a 6with him. I went up and asked, “Do you go to school?” He nodded his head. Then I continued, “Why do you 7 sunglasses?” He said nothing. I gave him $20 and said that I was not in 8of the sunglasses but he could keep the money. To my 9 , his face changed a lot, which is still in my memory today. I didn't know 10 to say next. Then he replied, “Either you buy sunglasses or you 11 back the money. I don't need your pity." I felt very 12 for what I did, and I told him that I would buy two pairs.

I took these sunglasses home and kept 13 myself, “Did such a young boy need to do it for his self-respect（自尊）?” He could 14take the $20 and left. But he chose to sell his sunglasses and get the money not because of others'15 . I will remember this lesson forever.

    I wrote my first note to my mother and it said, "Hi, Mom! Have a nice day! 1, Marie!" I was twelve when I wrote it, and I 2 the note into her change purse (零钱包). My mother worked 3 a cleaner in a clothing factory. I knew that when she bought meals in the dining hall, she had to 4 changes in her purse. I didn't know that she always kept that note, and carried 5 with her.

    After that, I 6 folded the small piece of paper into my mother's change purse, she and I left each other secret notes. My mother usually hid her notes in the fridge, under a lamp 7 beside the TV set. I even found one hidden in my shoe. Gradually, I understood 8 notes became the records of our days, ideas and wishes. But to my mother and me, they were a life-long communication with each other that 9 else shared.

    On October 20, 2018, my mother 10 after an illness. I stood near her bed, holding her hand. I didn't cry on that day when my mom passed away (去世). A week 11, I even didn't cry. I was so thankful 12 she no longer had aches and pains.

    Recently, I13a note that my mom left me. It was hidden in the pages of my favorite childhood book for years. It14"Dear Marie, I love you always. Miss you a lot. Don't forget me. Be15! Love, Mom" That day, I cried.

    Thank you very much. Thank you!

    Thank you for Principal Xu, all the teachers and most importantly, the class of 2019. If I can't make my speech fantastic, I will at least try to make it short.

    It's been nearly 40 years since I became a member of the navy. You may be wondering how I have won so many honors as a commander-in-chief. In fact, it all began from the half a1basic training, which I will never forget, The training included midnight swims in the cold water, days without 2 and long painful runs in the soft sand, I always felt cold, wet, sleepy and painful.

    The training also needed to find those who could3in an environment of stress, mess, failure and hardships. To me, the basic training was a lifetime of challenges that lasted six months. And today, I'd like to talk about one little thing, which I think is one of the most important points leading to great4.

    Every morning in the training, my instructors(教官) would5in our rooms. The first thing they did was to6our beds. The corners would be square if we did it right. The covers would be pulled tight, and the pillow would be centered just under the headboard.

    It was a(n) 7task. But every morning we were required to make our beds8. It seemed a little funny, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proved to me many times over.

    If you make your bed every morning, you will have completed the9task of the day. It will bring you a small sense of success, and it will10you to do another task, and another and another. And by the end of the day, one task completed will have11into many tasks completed. Making your bed will prove the fact. If you can't do the little things right, you will12be able to do the big things right.

    13the world can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. I can make sure that it doesn't matter whether I ever14 a day in uniform. Even now, I still start my day with making the bed to perfection. So if you have an awful day by accident, you will come home to a bed that is made-that you made-and a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

    In general, if you want to change the world, 15off by making your bed. I hope all of you will have a brighter future!
