Grace was shy. And it was really hard for her to talk to others. So she was so surprised when Ashley and she became friends later. Ashley was not the same as her. Grace didn't understand why only she couldn't get on well with others.

Ashley was the girl that Grace thought she wanted to be. Grace began doing whatever Ashley liked doing. For example, she stopped reading but started watching the TV programs Ashley liked.

One day, she heard Ashley and her friends talking about her.

"She follows you and she doesn't have her own mind," a girl said.

Then Ashley explained, "I know, I wish she would be herself."

Grace felt so lonely. Then she thought of her mother's advice: "Everyone has his or her own personality (个性). Just be yourself." Grace stopped copying Ashley. Instead, she decided to be herself.

The relations between Grace and her friends are still as close as before. And it is important for us to be ourselves.

The Underwater Museum of Art (MUSA) in Mexico attracts lots of tourists from different countries every year because it always holds a very popular public art show every year. What's more, it's the largest museum of its kind in the world.

People built the museum in 2009 and it opened to tourists one year later. It's not like a traditional museum, and it's an environmental one to protect sea life. There are over 500 different sculptures ( 雕塑) in MUSA. These sculptures changed as they became the home to sea life.

There are three galleries (艺术长廊) in MUSA. The Machones Gallery is about 8 meters deep with around 470 sculptures. The Punta Nizuc Gallery is about 4 meters deep with 33 sculptures. It is close to most of the hotels. There's also a third gallery called the Punta Sam Gallery. And it's as deep as the Punta Nizuc Gallery. 

Visitors can enjoy the art show and get close to local sea life when they swim or dive (潜水) around the museum. If you don't want to get wet, you can still visit the underwater museum—just buy a ticket of a glass boat tour. If you get there, you will have a great time.

Alex set his lunch tray on the table near his friend Leo. "Trade you some fries for some pretzels" Alex said. 

"Deal," said Leo, taking his bag of pretzels out of bis lunchbox. 

Alex noticed a folded piece of paper at the bottom of Leo's lunchbox. 

"What's that?" asked Daniel, another boy in their class. 

Before Leo could answer, Daniel grabbed the paper. He unfolded it and read in a loud voice: "Dear Leo, I hope you have a great day. Love. Mom."

Daniel snorted. "Your mom puts notes in your lunchbox?"

"Yes," Leo said. 

Daniel read the note again, to himself. It almost looked as if he wanted to keep it.

"Give it back to Leo," said Alex. 

"Well, who wants a note anyway?" Daniel said. 

"I do," said Leo. 

Alex liked getting notes too. 

Daniel tossed the note and it fell to the floor. 

Alex picked it up. He handed it back to Leo, who put it into his pocket. 

On the bus that afternoon, Alex thought about what had happened. 

Alex's older brother, Mateo, arrived home just after Alex did. "How was your day, little dude?" Mateo asked. 

"A boy in my class was mean to Leo," Alex said. He explained the way Daniel had acted. 

Mateo shook his head. "How would Daniel like it if people picked on him for getting a note?"

"Daniel never gets notes," Alex said. Suddenly, he had an idea. "That's it! I know how to help Leo and Daniel."

Alex explained his idea to Mateo. Mateo agreed to help, and they worked on the plan all afternoon. 

At lunchtime the next day, Alex hurried to the cafeteria. He set out 23 folded pieces of paper on a table by the entrance. Each piece of paper had the name of a classmate on it. 

"What are these?" asked Mira. 

"We all have notes," said Sabrina. 

Alex watched as Daniel picked up the note with his name on it. Alex knew that the note said Daniel,  ▲  Have a great day.

Alex saw Daniel smile as he put the note into his pocket. 

"Great idea, Alex," said Leo. 

"Now everyone knows how it feels to get a lunch note," Alex said.
