I’m Alfred. I was born with a problem in my backbone
and mobility(行走能力）was a big challenge, but thanks to my
teachers and friends, my school life was excellent.
My friends and I used to sit together and have lots of
fun. Whenever we got a free period, we used to start shouting or play games. I
would take part in all competitions, such as poetry writing, story writing and
painting and all activities like Teachers’ Day or anybody’s birthday and had
much fun.
My English teacher was very tall. The moment she would
enter the class, we would all sit quiet and open the books. She would encourage
me by giving me important assignments and also morning news to read during the
assembly. She would come down and hear my English debate(辯論), which made me participate in all debate
competitions.
The same was true of my biology and science teacher.
She was very nice and sweet. She would always give me extra information on the
biology project. I could not go to the lab for the practicals (lessons or exams
in science, cooking etc. in which you have to do or make something yourself
rather than write or read about it), so she would bring the lab down and help
me with the biology and science practicals and would give me excellent marks.
My friends made me monitor and the naughty boys listen
to me. My friends used to help me with my notes if I was absent. My teachers
always gave me important project work and I felt proud when they patted me
on the back after I finished it quickly and correctly.
I was never shouted at or made fun of or scolded(批評) by any of my friends and teachers. Today I saw the
terrible punishments given to students on television news. I felt very sad.
I really want to express my love and thanks to all my
wonderful teachers and friends, without whom my school life would not have been
so excellent and unforgettable. I really pray to God that each child in the
world is blessed with caring teachers and wants to attend school every day.
