.... continued throughout my childhood and early adolescence, mine slowly diminished; until finally I realized I did not want to become a doctor. I remember how hard it seemed to tell my parents of my decision, I felt as if I was letting them down, but I eventually came to realize that they wanted me to do what made me happy. I am not definite why I changed my mind in regard to being a doctor, I had the grades, the drive, and the willingness to make certain sacrifices, but somewhere I was missing something and I felt that I would not be satisfied in a medical career. So I started thinking about what I wanted to do; I went from teaching to law enforcement, computer programmi ....

.... out of the cold. He thanked the old man and asked if they had a phone and if so could he use it. He said he didn't believe in that new technology. By this time his wife walked in and introduced herself as Beth Jones, and her husband as Bob. He said he had better get going, but Mrs. Jones objected saying "You stay right here until the storm clears." He said he couldn't possibly impose himself. He then turned back to the memory or him walking across that cold muddy field. He shuddered. Mrs. Jones broke into his thoughts and said he could walk to the neighbors the next morning, she said "They only live a few miles down the road and Bob can drive you." He accepted grac ....

.... then I used Chinese to answer her. The waiter was kind too. She started using Spanish, Japanese, French to answer me, but he never used Chinese. If he used Chinese, then that will be the time for me to reply. I run to my father's room, crying, and telling that someone is in my room and I doesn't know why he was there. After my father solved the problem for me. We were all laughing about it. My father said, "In the Philippines, eating with hands are their culture, you will never see this in Taiwan." In Taiwan, everybody use chopsticks to eat. Nobody will use spoon and folk to eat, because that's a kind of hard. Just like my first time used the spoon and folk. I doesn't know e ....

.... for solving math problems. That intensity made him both loved and perhaps a little feared. Some students commented on his reputation as a tough teacher and they tried to avoid his classes. Most who had him as a teacher said he pushed hard but treated them with respect. Not only was he held in high esteem by his students, but with some of his colleagues as well. In his spare time—he coached kids’ swimming and the debate team. He was a favorite man because his life was intertwined with so many others. He was like your best friend and your father, all in one. He spent his time away from work with family and friends. Mr. Wang died of a heart attac ....

.... I always knew he loved me, but his anger always got in the way. I tried my best never to make him upset by staying out of his way. I felt that I was the young boy in the story, “Arm Wrestling with My Father” because the only time we were somewhat close was during physical actions. A fine example is that he would never miss one of my football games but would not interact in any other activities with me. Our relationship now is a lot better than ever after getting some major counseling. After a counseling session, my father came up to me with tears coming from his eyes, saying, “I love you.” I can also remember his putting his tree trunk arms around ....

.... didn't get lower than a "C" and I achieved a grade point average of at least a three point. But the thing that I have enjoyed the most about is being with my girlfriend. We've been together for almost a year and a half now and she is one of the most important things in my life. I don't know what I would do without her. She has always been there when I needed her. If I was slacking off and wasn't doing my homework she would encourage me and help to keep my spirits up. I appreciate what she has done for me and I love her very much. The thing that I have enjoyed the least about is knowing that it's almost over and I still don't have a clue what I want to be after I get out of ....

.... of Radar. Inside the dark silence I can hear him chewing. Suddenly, as soon as he hears the grinding of an opening lattice door, he raises his head and the rays of the sun, running through the small window, lights his beautiful head up. I embrace his warm neck, kiss his soft nose and offer him some sugar. He sniffs me round and I feel that he is glad to see me as well. Almost all day long we spend together. We walk around in the green field, strewed with small,spring,colorful flowers. The air is filled with smell of the fresh grass. I share with him all the news I had gotten up to that time. And then, finally, splitting the air impregnated with spring, we rush along ....

.... knob, but it fell off as soon as I touched it. The knob rolled down the steps and kept on rolling down the driveway, and stopped by the fence. That didn't make John feel any better at all. He looked like he had seen a ghost. I took a deep breath, and pushed the door. It wouldn't budge an inch. « Help me out», I said, but John kept chewing his nails. God knows why, there was nothing to be scared of. Or was it? I took a step backwards, and then kicked the door. It slowly slid open, and I went inside. «Wow! What a huge mansion we've got here!» John took a peek into the house, but didn't dare go inside. There was a huge hall in the middle of the house, with staircases t ....
