When I was a little girl, our families would always gather for big meals. Besides the delicious food, I also loved listening to the adults talking about their stories. Some stories are so unforgettable that I still remember them today.
My aunt, Kathy, heard a disabled friend had won a marathon (马拉松) race. She felt motivated (被激励的) and decided to run. The next day, she ran 5 miles. Although it was not easy for a 54-year-old woman, she kept on running.
Edward, my cousin, was a main role in a play for the first time. He experienced a 2-month hard time preparing for it. Hearing people’s applause (掌声), he felt good. What’s more, he realized he could have more fun by trying something new.
My father was deeply moved by a 3-year-old girl on a plane. He saw that the little girl offered all she had, a piece of chocolate, to save a man’s life. He said the girl’s kindness always made him smile. Wherever life will lead me, these stories always give me inspiration. I have learned that we should love life itself, love ourselves and love the people around us. It is the stories that make my life beautiful and meaningful.
