A Person Who Changed My Life

Gina

He was there at the door of my house,with a plastic bag which was full of candies,cookies,ice cream and gum. In the hot summer time,under the sun his face turned red,but how can I forget his tender smile? At that time,I was 11 years old.He is my dear uncle,who later became my step-father.

my father left me and my mother when I was 4 years old. Not only didn't I know where he was.But I also didn't receive any massage from him.Moreover,he didn't send us any money.My mother had a very hard life at that time,ever though I was her only child.She had to work,to take care of me,to do all the housework...everything all by herself.I was so scared of people taking about father.Especially at school,when the teacher asked us to write something about father.Unlike me, the other student's father always took them to school.

But after he came, everything changed.Not only did he adopt me as his own child,but he also did everything that the other students' father always did.Then I was so proud to have a father,so happy to talk about him. We have been together 10 years.All of my friends recognize him as my birth father.Our family is as normal as any happy one.

Now,I have scarcely thought of my birth father,because his leaving didn't affect me in any way.All my memories are about my step-father who changed my life.

a person who changed my life

A person who changed my life was my grandmother.
she took care of me after I was born.I was a first niece for her
so she was so happy to have me.She taught me to be a person
who is easygoing and not get angry easily.
she always scolded me when I did something wrong
but at that time I was not grown up enough to realize
which one was good or bad. I thought she grumbled to me too much.
However,After time went by,Some situation I have met have reminded of
her words and helped me to consider many things in the right way.

When I was lonely in my country I felt very sad. I wasn’t with my husband and I needed him. Now I’m very happy. My husband is a beautiful person; he helps me a lot in the house. With my English he explains to me some things when I don’t understand. He is watchful of me all the time. I know and learn different things with my husband that helps me to grow as a person every day.

He is an intelligent and smart person. I admire my husband and love a lot!! him. My life with him is wonderful. We always talk very well when we have a mistake. We have been fortunate since we met. I felt bad last Sunday because I forgot to call to city bank for my new pin number. Two weeks ago my husband told me “to call city bank for my pin number”. Last Sunday I needed my pin. I didn’t have enough money but I couldn’t get cash. My husband felt a little upset, but he understands me. I was busy with different things.

However, at that time, my friend said to me, "Hello." We talked a lot about each other. And then, she made a lot of friends for me. She was active and lovely.
In addition, she had talent. As a result, she was the most popular among our friends.

Teacher Who Changed My Life

In New York, I am studying English at La Guardia. My teacher`s hairstyle was slightly curly. Her hair was brown, nothing else, but her hair looked like golden crisps of sunshine.
When she saw me, she said "Hi" with a deep and mild voice. I was so impressed by her big smile that I could only say "Hello" in a small voice. She changed my life.
On my first day in La Guardia, I was lonely and afraid because I spoke little English. I had no friends, The teacher`s English sounded as fast as a machine gun. I felt disheartened. I wanted to come to my country.
I study English five days a week, but I spoke little English. I had a problem about pronunciation, I was shy and afraid. The teacher said,"Don`t worry". She smiled at me. She understood students. Her words were simple and each of them sounded easy. She listened to them carefully. She understood my feelings very well. when I got homesick, she told me "Sawatdee" because she know about Thailand. When I felt lonely and disheartened, She cheered me up. Her smile and "Sawatdee" always made me feel good and I felt stayed in Thailand.
I wish that I could remember all of the things she told me. I know it is important. now I am studying English because I want to study in New York. I will stay here and finish University. I will be a good teacher in Thailand.

When I walked into the classroom, she was in the classroom. I saw her and felt she was a solemn person. She is a little short. She has beautiful eyes. Her eyes look very much crystal, black, bright.

Her sound was pleasant to the ear. She was a knowledgeable person. If we were learning a problem in the class, she could tell some stroy about this problem, help us learn this problem.

She was my high school Chinese lauguage teacher. Before high school, I was intertested in scince and engineering but didn't like literature. But after she was my teacher, I kenw literature's charm. Before I thought literature was very uninteresting. After word, I knew I thought was very uninteaesting, because what I comprehended about literature was superficial.

When I finished high school and went to the college, I chose the major of Chinese language. I wanted to learn more about literature and wanted to finish college and choose a job as a journalist. But I didn't finish college in my country bacause I came here, so I want to learn English well, go to unviersity and learn about the fields of journalism and news.

When he walked into the classroom, I was attracted by his eyes, behind a pair of glasses, like mine. He looked modest and handsome.

He is my best friend, Andy. The first time we met was about one year ago. On my first day in university. I was lonely and afraid because my old friends went to other universities. Athough I was in the best university, I was solitary. Fortunately, I had met my first friend, Andy, in university.

We met in the first science class, but we both didn't like it. He likes music, and so do I. Not only do we have the same habit, but we also like to make friends. Moreover, we think in the same way. Indeed, we are very similar.

Since I met him, my life changed a lot. In the past, I always had thought in a negative way and was very pessimistic. But now, through Andy, I have became positive and optimistic. Above all, he changed my empty life to a hopeful life.

A person who changed my life

There are some important keys to success; one friend, one book, one teacher. As for me, I have met only one person who has changed me a lot. The one is an English teacher who was in Korea International school in China.
While attending the school, I was an usual student who hung out with friends. However, when I studied in her class, my destiny began to change gradually. In China
people usually think,If someone is in China, someone will learn Chinese. But unfortunately, I wasn`t this case that was shown.
I originally don`t hate English, but I realized that English is a pivotal language to live in the world. she taught students a lot of listening and especially reading skills of how to read English magazines, newspaper interpret new words that are something "new"
Soon I was getting be interested in English, studied English too much rather than Chinese. It seemed that I would be tempted by passion of English. Finally, I was away from Chinese, during that time, I made such a considerable effort to improve my English skill. I also got a lucky chance to be tutored by her. Making it better, my English was getting better and better even than before, I got surprised at my advanced English. Under her teaching, I could gain a lot of language skills it gave me a lime-light what will move my life toward.
What I got from one of the her education is to work hard as long as you can desire. I also really got thirsty for learning English. This was intentionally recognized by my memory. So far I thought that something important to look for is a benefactor to heat my desire. I not only could find my desire that I liked, but I also changed my life and started to act passionaltely. Moreover, the important thing is that I came to the United States because of that.
Recently, I think I want to find something "new" in my life. But I haven`t been able to feel this emotion. As long as I can, there`ll be another chance to improve my life somewhere, I expect

When I remember her, her face is always smiling.
She is sensitive to heat. When it was winter, she wore only a shirt indoors. Her hair was permed long hair. Her face with its smile was elegant and looked like the Japanese royal family.

She always smiled, so she made everyone happy when they only met her. Not only was she elegant, but she was also fasionable. Her bags and shoes were always the same color when she had them. Moreover, she liked travel. She decided to travel domestically once a month and travel abroad once a year. Indeed, she was a powerful woman. I did believe that she was an elegant woman. However, in fact she was not only elegant. She was a coworker who was ten years older than me.

When we worked together, I often saw the situation that she had a headache and looked pale. The cause was always to have drunk too much the previous night. Whenever she drank a lot, she lost her memories from the beginning.

She also liked dancing when she drank. Whan there was Salsa or music of Okinawan, which is a famous beach city in Japan, in the restaurant, she was starting to dance already before we noticed that.

One day, at midnight my cellphone rang at home. That was from my other coworker. She said that she had disappeared at Karaoke suddenly. According to her, she drank so much that she went back home without her bag, cellphone and of cource money. This was a legend in our community. She was a merry person.

I liked her more than before. She was not perfectly elegant. She was also cute and sweet. She often regreted having drunk a lot or having spent a lot of money on shopping or travel. Such charactor was loved by everyone and changed my mind because I had never met such a merry person. I really enjoyed drinking with her. I like her very much.

She has big beautiful eyes and a great smile. She is a little bit fat and taller then other average people. She used to not wear makeup or sometimes wore light makeup. She always wore neat clothes.
Everyday when I came home she said "Hi, my love" and I told her "Hi, mom. I'm home". She has a weak constitution, so usually I worried about her health condition. One day, when I came home, my mom laid down in the living room, I was shocked. Immediately, I called 911 and a few minutes later I was in hospital with my mom. I felt very sad and scared. I almost cried but i didn't because i had to take care of my mom.
At night, when my father came to the hospital, I felt calmed down and went to the restroom. I cried alone there.
My mom received treatment to 15days in the hospital. I went there everyday and took care of my mom. Her health condition was getting better. I felt so happy and was proud of myself. Also, I felt taking care of other weak people was so good for me, It was a great job. Therefore, I decided I want to be a nurse. I told my mom about my vision, and she was very happy. She told me it was a great job and she also told me,I could do very well.
That is the reason why I am here in NY and I will try to go to university. My mom impressed me to decide to be nurse.

A little time later, my friend came to the door. He Said, "Welcome. My parents have gone shopping. just my sister is in the house." So I walked into the house. A small lady with lovely hair was reading a book.
When she finished reading, we went to the playground. We pleyed badminton; It looks like tennis. I was fascinated when her hair was waving under the sun brightly.

I felt unhappy because we could not talk each other. I didn't know what I should do, and how long i had to stay. I was there because my sister told me to go and practice more English.
The next day I was in my family's house. I didn't have a class because I came to Australia a week before my class stared. I just stayed at the house and listened to the radio.
Suddenly, I heard the sound from outside my room. Someone knocked at my room. After I opened my door, I met a your girl who came from Taiwan. She was Ms. Lillian, my sharemate. She walked to me and talked.
At first, I couldn't understand what she said, but she was so patient. She repeated her sentence may times and always smiled all the time. She taught me about English before my class started.
After we had some conversations, I felt my english was getting better. I dared to speak more than before. We always went out for shopping, had lunch and had activities together.
I hope that we will still be good friends and contact each other. I can remember samethings which whe taught me and did together. Anyway she changed my life. Now i can speak English and communicate with people.

I couldn't understand English, so I was put in a couple with him. He was very helpful. However, I wanted to speak English.
The year, after this program, I got married with him. One rear later, my husband got a job in New York. He wanted to come to the U.S.A. and I also wanted to come here. I quit my job and moved to New York.
It is not easy to live here. Not only can't I understand English, but I also don't have family members and friends. Moreover, I can't work here, so I have become poor. But here I have had a lot of experience. I go to English school, and talk with my friends who are from other countries. If I didn't come here, I wouldn't know a pain, a sadness, funny moments, excitement.
He knows these things about me. He understands that it is not easy for me to live. He always supports me, sometimes helps to understand English. He gives me encouragement to improve my life. I hope that I could understand more, and I want to get a job someday. And then I will help his life.
