16．When I was in seventh grade，I was shy，quiet and so was easily bullied（受欺負(fù)）．I used to get very sad about it．
In an art lesson，just while the teacher was out，a big boy took away my pencil case，threw it across the room and sat back down．Later on，he took my schoolbag and pulled it towards him．I pulled back the schoolbag from his hand and for the first time，I pushed him away and hit him on the back．In the rest of the lesson，I did nothing but imagined what was happening next．
Then the teacher came to me，"Peter，are you OK？"
"Yes，"I answered．
"No，you are not．Come to my office after class．"he said．
There we had a long talk．He made me smile and I became confident（自信） again．He taught me some life lessons，and said，"Get up，and don't be a bully yourself，but remember you are stronger inside，and if the bullies see this，they will stop．"

13．Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new house in Arizona．He moved there a few years ago，and I wanted very much to see his new place and meet his friends．
In my earliest memories my father was a tall，handsome and successful man．He loved his work and family，but was uncomfortable with his children．As a child I loved him；as a school girl and young adult I was afraid of him．He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A's in my study and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as"successful"as he was．Whenever I went out with him on weekends，I used to try hard to think up things to say to protect myself．
On the first day of my visit，we went out with one of my father's friends for lunch．We walked along that afternoon，did some shopping，ate on the street table，and laughed over my son's funny talks．My father's critical（挑剔的）air and strict rules were gone．He seemed so friendly and interesting to be with us．
The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me many stories about his own childhood．Although our times together became easier over the years，I never felt closer to him at that moment．After so many years，I'm at last seeing another side of my father．And in so doing，I'm happy with my new friend．My dad，in this new home in Arizona，is back to me from where he was．
