We can do it!
About 1 month ago，I heard that Johnny, one of my cousins, had got a high score
and he could successfully enter a famous university in Shanghai. All of us felt
very pleased for him. Our joyance is not only due to the appreciation to his diligence, but also to his strong will for self-respect.
When he was about 3 years old, his parents got divorced. After this, his father
was legally given custody of him. However, in our opinion his father has never really carried out this responsibility. His father took this poor little boy to his grandma and went away. So since then he and his grandma have lived together and depended on each other.
I think it is very lucky for Johnny to meet his grandmother and some of his relatives. One of his aunts gave them a small house to live in. The other aunt often
invited him to her home to play with her own son. And the most important thing
was that his grandmother looked after him very carefully and loved him more than
anyone else. But on the contrary, his parents seldom went to see him or cared him.
Several years passed. One day I happened to go to their house and found Johnny became a taciturn, whiter and slim little boy. At that time I felt very sorry for
him because many similar cases told me that many children gave up themselves, gave up hope after being abandoned by their parents. But after another five years
, a good news came that Johnny entered a famous middle school and continued to be an excellent student.
In fact, before I heard that Johnny would go to the university with his aunt by
train, I had been trapped by disease, despondence and family dispute for a long
time. But now, I felt lucky because something in this boy’s heart moved me and
made me know that we mainly depended on our feet to stand up, not just others’
help.
