Building Our Community

    "Mom, I hope Steve can take me to the park next weekend, "I said.

    "Sorry, Lucy, "Mom said, "your brother is volunteering next weekend to help 1 a house for a family."

    I remembered Steve's eyes had lit up when he first told me about the community home-building project. He was good at building and fixing things, so he was 2 to do something. Now that he was seventeen, he was finally old enough to take part in it.

    "It's not 3 ," I complained. "Steve can change a family's life, but what can I do? I'm only ten."

    Mom put on her serious look." Don't think about it like that, Lucy, "she said, "people make a 4 by thinking about what they can do, rather than what they can't do."

    Mom's words echoed in my head later that day. Maybe she was right. I might not be able to physically build a house, but I could  5 money to help.

    The next day before class, I talked to my teacher, Mr. Brown, about my idea. "Well, we can brainstorm about it, "he said, "I bet your classmates will have some good ideas. 6 will be the best way to make this happen."

    After I explained my idea in class, Brason raised his hand." My uncle owns a T-shirt shop. Maybe he can print some T-shirts that we can 7 .

    "Great idea!" Mr. Brown said. Then, after a lively discussion, we decided on" Building Our Community" as our slogan(口号)to print. Marla, our class artist, agreed to draw the design.

       By Friday, the T-shirts had been printed, and I had posted details about the sale on our class Web page. Our Saturday sale was a success. We earned ＄125. After the sale, we went to the community center. I 8 handed over the money.

    Mom and Mr. Brown had both been right. Everyone can do something, and together we can achieve something great.
