I was small for my age. I was shy and sometimes it was hard for me to make friends with others. However, learning came fairly (相当地) easy for me. I was the best in most of my classes, but PE class was my nightmare (噩梦) and made me feel that I was not as good as the others. Miss Forsythe was our PE teacher. She was young and energetic. Everyone liked her. She said that we all had to come to her classes. No one could hide from Miss Forsythe!

    One day she told me that she wanted me to play a game with another girl in a PE show. I was rather worried that I wouldn't do a good job as she explained her idea, but she was excited. With her encouragement, I had no choice but to agree.

    It was a "boy meets girl" game. I played the boy and my classmate, Margaret Ann. played the girl. We were dressed in evening clothes and danced around the floor. According to Miss Forsythe. I had to pick up Margaret Ann when we finished the dance. Since I was not strong enough to pick the tallest girl up, it was she who picked me up. I suddenly felt ten feet tall! It was a huge success and everybody applauded (鼓掌) for our excellent performance. What a wonderful ending! Afterwards. I smiled confidently. Miss Forsythe's understanding and willingness to create a place for me in her show (which certainly did not need me) gave me some much needed confidence. She was and always will be my favorite teacher.

Seba Stephens is only 10 years old, but he's a very talented musician. He plays drums, bass, guitar and piano. Recently, he got a professional certificate (证书) in music through the Berklee Online program at the famous Berklee College of Music.

Seba and his family live in Memphis, Tennessee-a place famous for music. He grew up with music all around, but he especially loved the drumming of Stewart Copeland from the band The Police. "The songs of The Police are full of so much cool drumming (鼓声)." he says.

Before he turned three, his parents asked him what he wanted for his birthday. "Drums!" he answered.

His parents weren't sure, but after seeing him play the drums at a local music store, they decided he was serious. They bought him a junior drum kit (成套装备). It was a huge step. "He didn't stop playing-ever." says his dad. Everett.

But soon Seba grew upset. He couldn't get his junior drum kit to make the sounds he heard Mr. Copeland making. It was a lesson for the family: good instruments were worth paying for. His parents bought him a professional drum kit and signed him up for lessons.

In just a few months, a drummer, his drum teacher reported that Seba was learning very quickly and needed a higher level of training. He was still four.

He faced challenges-because of his size. "I couldn't see over my drum set," he says. "And I couldn't reach some of the cymbals (铙钹，打击乐器名)." He also had trouble finding a good bass that was small enough.

Seba wanted to start a band, but Everet said he had to "at least be in kindergarten (幼儿园)" to do that. Everett thought he was joking, but Seba actually started a band in kindergarten. By the first grade, he was making money playing music.

Reading is very important in our life. 

A group of children gathered (聚集) around their grandfather. They were filled with excitement and curiosity(好奇). That day, there had been quite a fierce(激烈的) fight between two adults, their grandfather was called in to mediate. The children were curious to hear what he had to say about it. One of the children asked a question to the grandfather that was puzzling(使困惑) him.

"Grandfather, why do people fight?"

The old man replied," Well, do you know, my child, we all have two wolves inside us? They are in our chest(胸膛)…and these wolves are fighting each other at times."

The eyes of the children had grown big by now.

"In our chests too, Grandfather?" asked another child. The grandfather nodded his head and said," Yes."

"And in your chest too?" asked a third one. The grandfather replied," Yes, in my chest too."

The grandfather surely had all the children's attention now, and went on," There is a white wolf and a black wolf. The black wolf inside us is filled with fear, lies, anger and sadness. The white wolf is filled with peace, love, hope and kindness. And do you know there is always a terrible fight between the two wolves?"

Then he stopped. There was complete silence and all the children were looking toward him.Finally, the grandson who asked the first question could not wait anymore and broke the silence," ButGrandfather, which wolf wins?"

The old man smiled and replied," That's simple... the one we feed more."
