To me, a normal migrant worker's child is not
very special. My family isn't wealthy, and in
a family like mine, I feel the pressure to pursue
happiness for my entire family.
At the prior schools I attended, I didn't feel
any pressure because the teachers were not strict
with me, the studies were easy, and "play"
became life's most important part. Then, I was
constantly playing: in class, after class, after
school, at home. This led me to develop a very
bad habit. At that time, I had no idea what
pressure was.
When I came here, the school changed everything
about me. Because my family's conditions aren't
good, the school contacted a kind person who
would financially support me, which really touched
me. I began to feel pressure; because of my
parents and my teachers, I constantly remind
myself to study hard so I can give back to them.
This meant I had to get rid of my bad habits
and put all my effort into my studies. Only
by doing this can I be someone and give back
to the people who have helped me in my life.
This is my sincere exclamation. Maybe my learning
is a long journey, but the only thing that will
never change is that you once helped me when
I had difficulties. "You have given me
a drop of life-giving water; I will give back
to you a fountain of water."
Maybe sometimes I let my guard down and forget
the pressure. But my heart will never change.
My promise will always be burning in my heart:
to give back to all who have helped me. Not
only them, but also my relatives.
The sky is still blue, the Earth is still turning,
people are still discovering, but in the near
future, there will be another person among those
people: that would be me!
Thankful heart,

problems of their studies, New Path Endowment,
college students, and caring people from all parts
of society have given a lot. During the past semester,
there were over two-hundred volunteers who came

Every day the sky is blue.

Today, the sun
is shining, the school's campus is beautiful,
the classrooms are bright,the tables and chairs
are new, there is a good learning environment:
all this is for us to have a happy time studying
here.
You have sacrificed your vacation time to come
here from all over the world to tutor us English
so we'll never feel lost on the road to learning
English. In the summer, we played games together
and danced together. You have brought us much
happiness. Thank you, volunteer!
You have squeezed time in your busy lives to come
visit my school and train and teachus.Even though
it's very hard, we have learned many things that
are not found in textbooks: what is discipline,
what is determination, and what is teamwork. You
have built the foundation for us to walk towards
the road to success. Thank you, liberation army!
Yesterday, you have given us boundless care. Today,
we are turning that into strength for a bright
future: it is your kindness that have given us
