    The Sixth Time I Went to the Principal's Office When I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place, but I couldn't always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl's hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal(校长).

    Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff. Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked(打屁股)me for putting some ants into a classmate's pencil box, it didn't hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.

    When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff's office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear:"

    Kevin, I've heard you've been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint."

    "Really?" I was surprised.

    "Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class."

    I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged(吹嘘)to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn't so bad after all.

    Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.

    "Face it,Andy.You sold your heart the day you put on that first pair of Jimmy Choo's."That line from the movie The Devil Wears Prada is an example showing how a shoemaker has become famous in the fashion world.

    Jimmy Choos (Zhou Yangjie)was born in Malaysian and he is a Malaysian Chinese,born in 1961 into a family of shoemakers.He created his first pair of shoes at age 11.His family couldn't pay for his schooling,so he dropped out at a young age.He had to work with his father to support the family.But his dream to be a fashion designer never disappeared,so he did all he could to enter an art college and finally took up a position in the fashion world through his talent and willpower.

    Choo graduated from a college in London and had a small workshop there.He hit the international fashion scene when Vogue magazine described his designs in eight pages in 1988.His work was immediately popular and got love and support from Diana,Princess of Wales.

    Jimmy Choo shoes are known for their very high heels(鞋跟)and pointed toes.However,he does some flats and lower﹣heeled shoes for other women.Choo co﹣founded Jimmy Choo Ltd.with Tamara Mellon,UK Vogue editor,but left the company in 2001.

    Jimmy Choo shops have opened around the world,so his designs are easier to get to those who want a designer shoe,and can afford his prices.Choo also has a website where shoppers can view his ready to wear designs.The brand(牌子)of Jimmy Choo has been comparable to top brands,like Channel,LV,etc.But it's still young and has a bright future.

    We can't imagine how hard it is for Choo to stand out in the worldwide fashion! He must have made greater efforts and had more difficulties than others.And so he did.So stop complaining about why good luck isn't always falling on you and devote yourselves to your work now.
