In my early 30s,I struggled to find a dream job.One of my friends reminded me that I'd always loved beauty,and suggested I apply for a licence,which would give me the freedom to set up my own business.
However,the only problem was that tuition fees were $6,000,which was out of my budget.I knew that my salary wouldn't cover all the fees,even if I worked extra hours every day.I'd seen others set up crowd funding papers to help them achieve their goals.I thought I'd do the same.Then,on a Friday night,I received a large amount of money in my bank account,which made me really surprised.There had been some mistakes.I assumed it was an illegal trick.
It turned out to be a donation.The name on it is one I instantly recognized:Chrissy Teigen,my favorite TV host.She had left a note: "I've seen that this has been your dream for such a long time.I'm so happy to lend you a hand." I called my mom immediately.I was crying and not making much sense.I just managed to say that Chrissy Telgen had made my dream come true.
The amount might have been a drop in the ocean for her,but it was life-changing for me.Lots of other people donated after her.Soon I paid all the fees for the course.I couldn't have been happier.I've now set up my own business,and I always think about Chrissy's generosity.I did thank her,and I still follow each other on Twitter.Hopefully,I will be able to give her a beauty treatment someday.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
