I stayed with my ex boyfriend for one year and a half. We first met four years ago, at our school, which we studied in the same class. In the begining I didn't pay much attention at him but he was in love with me, so he was always nice and kind.
He is a very intelligent person, who always trys to help. So, he did everything for me. He talked a lot with me and supported me due to the fact of I was living in a new city. I just moved for a new town and was living without my family, so he was a very important person for me. I just needed a real person who could be my friend. So, in a few months I was in love with him as well.
In the first months of our relationship everything was great. He always gave me flowers, which I think is so cute, and we studied together. He was very patient with me and was always trying to make me feel good. Actually he was like this in the whole time we were together, I was the bad person in the relationship..

Nowadays we are not together anymore but we are always in touch. He is a fantastic person who I want to have for a long time in my life.

I was thirteen years old, he was the same age, and we were coming into the class where we had to share that whole course. The problem was that we were triying to get into the class at the same time and the door wasn't big enough for the two of us and our backpacks, wich was a problem. That was the best accident that I had that year. He was only thirteen, but he was a gentlemen. He said sorry and told me to get in first. I didn't expect that so my face turned red and got into the class. One of my best friends told me that she knew him because they were neighbourgs so, she was the one who introduced us to each other. We became friends as well, and spent the year with the rest of the girls and boys of the group, who finished notice that we had a different relation. I still remember the first time we went to watch a movie, and the moment when he tooked my hand wich was so tender and innocent.

I met my boyfriend in a shoe store, where he was working, on the first time. He was a shop assistance and I was just a customer. As soon as I saw him, I got to like him because I though his looking was ideal to me. Trying not to show my feeling and pretending to be cool, I asked him some questions about shoes and other things and had a small chat with him. Then I found that he was very nice, inside as well as outside. I eventually bought a pair of boots and left the shop. Because I couldn't forget him since then and wanted him to know even just my exsistence, I went there again the other day and took a big action. I gave him a paper, which I wrote my name, my text address and my phone number. I was too nervous to see even his face and ran away as soon as I gave the paper. As I was completely stranger to him, he was really surprised and it took some time for both of us to think about what was going on. But hopefully he texted me that day and finally I was able to be his girlfriend. This is all about how I met my boyfriend.

He-Man

When I was a kid, I always wanted to be a fireman. With so much adventure, fun and heroism involved, every kid wants that. We don't want to make money or be a master business man, we want to be super-heroes, and a famous soccer player would be nice though. We just want to have fun and chase after girls. Not to mention that you go full speed in that big red truck and the police cannot fine you. You're saving people's lives too, that is power fellas.

And then, came my grandmother and her old-school, ultra-protective advice. "Don't play with fire boy, otherwise you're gonna piss on your bed". Nobody wants to piss of in the pants or the bed. You become the mijao. And she destroyed my future succesfull career as a fireman.

Shan-Words that I remember

'If you really want something, you need to give all your efforts and tell yourself that it will be yours without doubts.' that's what my mum told me when I was small.

My mum is a great person. She has gone through many difficluties that I cannot even imagine.

When she was young, about high-school-age, there was the Chinese Revolution. Every youngster in the city had to leave school, go to the countryside and do farm work. It was really a tough work for those young people who were born and bred in the city and who had never done farm work ever. The most difficult thing is, they needed to get up at 5 o'clock every morning, keep working under the scorching sun till noon, and after eating some bread, they went back work again. When girls got there, almost everyone tried their best to avoid working. They pretended they were ill or took rest during the work when others didn't notice. Some girls even married to the local farmers so that they don't need to work anymore, but the fate for them was miserable: they would  never get the chance to go back to city again.

My mum, however, has made up her mind to go back to city and continue to stuy. So she worked very hard.
She was always the one who got up the earliest and worked till the latest. After a year, they could haveone person to go back to city, and because of the recommedation of the local farmers, my mum managed to go back and she was the only one who went back so early.

I asked her why she worked so hard. She said, 'I knew that going back was the only chance I had, so I told myslef to give all my effort and I had to be the one who went back earliest.'

Due to the word from my Dad,my life has changed.

I remembered i was a sociable person when i was in high scool ,i had a lot of friends and i was proud   of that.I did everything successfully with my friends and when i was in trouble my friends would help me overcome it.It all seems like i was a successful person and a little bit conceit.

One day my dad said he had something to tell me when i lived in my  "perfect"  life.He said "you seems like doing everything you want to do successfully but have you ever thought about it,you succeed is built upon the  foundation  of your friends.If you  lose all your friends or your freinds cheat you one day,what do you think your world will  be changed  like?You can't always accept the help from your friends,you need  independance ."

Yes, i realized   that i was wrong.My dad's wold has changed my life.Thanks for him and     i   am in the right way now.

Natasha-The biggest word that I remembered

As I was growing up I was the smartest girl in my family,everybody was surround me,my parents were buying me everything that I needed,In one word my personal fulfilment were above all but I was not spoilt child. As time was passing I impaired.I was not realy good student,they become so disappointed from my educational score in primary school, but were right because,I did not study a lot,and my teacher was always complaining on me.
Everything occurred very simply,one beautiful morning my father  said:''You need to turn up your bad signs'' I was so confused I didn't know what he is talking about,afterwords he explained to me that the the most significant thing that he wanted from me was to be a good student,and succeed good career in my future.He wanted to send me overseas to study at dental technician University.
Firstly I did not want because,I wanted to be a boxer and continue my career with that,but after I realised that I can be boxer in anytime,I can exercise in my free time,but University I can't I need many years to became a Dentist.
Consequently,I just agreed with that and look at me now I'm in Australia studying good,without any problems.
To sum up, In my brain I will always remember the expression from my father.
