Just 10 years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor. “Yes,” he said, “there is something wrong with the left, upper lung. You are suffering a severe cancer. You'll have to give up work at once. Later on, we'll see.”

    Feeling like a man who is in mid­career has suddenly been placed under sentence of death, I left the doctor's office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a chair. I needed to think. In the next 3 days, I cleared up my affairs, then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. Two years later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.

    I speak of this experience because these years that passed so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. I realize now that each day, to me, is a precious thing. I've learned to appreciate those little things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind.

    Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, “Let me make note of this moment I'm living right now, because in it I'm well, happy and hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won't always be like this, so while it is, I'll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. I contribute all these to that long time spent on the fight with cancer.”

    My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people. The first two 1 there were for persons requiring 2 in taking care of themselves. They loved our sweet songs we sang and the flowers we gave them.

    As we were 3 on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them 4 off at the walls or floor. However, one lady 5my eye. She was singing songs to herself. They weren't the songs that we were singing, at least they didn't 6 like that. As we got7with each song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got.8 she was singing, she was also 9out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my10were to my students. People who worked at the care center could 11to her, I thought.

    Just when I stopped feeling 12 about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, also 13 the same lady. The difference between us is that he 14 on her needs, but I didn't. Justin looked this aged lady in her15 and said, “You're important, and I will take my 16 to let you know that.” This elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Tears felt down her face. No 17can completely describe that touching moment.

    It took a boy to 18me about kindness and love. Justin's example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a19that I'll never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself 20 to have witnessed his lesson.

    I got up early this morning, so I went to school without breakfast. I walked in so a hurry that I stepped on a banana peel dropped by an old man walk in front of me. As the result, I fell in my back. I am so angry that I wanted to blame the old man, so I controlled myself at last. I picked the banana peel, putting it into the dustbin and ran to school. The class had begun, but I was very happy because I did that what I should do to protect our environment.
