It was the
day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools
in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route (路线) through thick evergreen forest.I looked
around and finally spotted David, who was standing by himself off to the side
by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was
absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn't with the other
children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was
wrong? He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly
searched the crowd for the school's coach and asked him what had happened.
"I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him," he
explained uncomfortably. "I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him
decide."
I bit back
my frustration (懊恼). I knew
the coach meant well — he thought he was doing the right thing. After making
sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me,
his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.David had a
brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children,
but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always
participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was
why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the
cross-country team. It just took him longer — that's all. David had not missed
a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other
children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I
was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong
determination.注意：

We sat down next to
each other but David wouldn't look at me.He just kept his eyes fixed on the kids who were warming up for the event near
the starting line,” Don't you really want to have a try? ”, I asked. “Yes, I
do, but I'm afraid the kids from other schoolwill laugh at me.” David lowered
his head, murmuring in depress. Hearing that, I encouraged him , “ You always participated to the best
of your ability in whatever your classmates were doing and on one regards you
as a different one. And you have never missed a singal practice for the event.
Why don't you follow your heart ?”. Pushed by me, he looked up at me
thoughtfully. Then he stood up, giving me a determined look.I watched a stave moved
on to the starting line with other runners.When the starters gun
sounded, a lot of runners ran like wind.
David struggled, with his small body rocking from side to side. Along the way,
some kids from other schools noticed David was different, but out of the coach
expectation, they didn't laugh at him butclapped to encourage him , moved
by his strong will. As other runners reached the finish line one by one, I was waiting there, feeling
so anxious about whether David could
finish the task. After what seemed a centure, a small figure finally appeared
in the distance. As David crossed the finish line, raising his arms in triumph,
the crowd burst out thunderous applause and cheers, including the coach . At
the award ceremony, David was awarded the award for the most outstanding
performance.

We sat down next to each other, but
David wouldn't look at me. I squatted down and patted David on his shoulder. I looked at
David's little face and said gently, “we all appreciate your courage and
determination to overcome the challenges. We believe in you!” I nodded at him,
encouraging David to participate in the big cross-country run. I pointed to the
route through the thick evergreen forest. David's eyes were brimming with
radiating vigor, and his big toothy smile spread again. Without any hesitation,
David swung his feet to the starting line.I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other
runners. All
of the runners clapped their hands, welcoming David to join them. The starter’s
gun sounded, and David lurched forward with the other children, running
awkwardly on his toes. Although he faced a great challenge, David really made
it! He had never missed a single chance to become stronger. He insisted on
doing what he loved. It was his strong determination and
perseverance that made him finish the race. Looking at the little boy's
performance, I felt proud and realized the real meaning of being a special
education teacher. Only with love and appreciation, can we brighten more
children's lives.谢超华老师
We sat down next to
each other, but David wouldn't look at me. Seeing
this, I couldn't feel more sorrowful. Considering he was so determined a boy
that I knew he didn't want to give up, but he needed a boost. “David, running
is your favorite sport, right?”, I said to him with a smile. Slowly he raised
his head and looked at me with hesitation. I continued, “You have been always
practicing running. Do you run for others or yourself? Follow your heart and
you will find the answer. Believe in yourself!” Upon hearing this, he pondered
for a moment and nodded at me, “Yes, sir. I run for myself and it’s a pleasure
for me to run. I should face the challenge, whether the result is good or not.”
Great relief poured into my mind as he stood up…I watched as David
moves up to the starting line with the other runners. Confidently
and excitedly, all the runners started off, running into the thick forest.
David kept up with the big troop, with his small body rocking from side to
side. I waited anxiously at the finishing line, worrying about what problems
David might encounter and whether he could overcome them. A few hours later,
the runners walked out of the forest one after another, crossing the finishing
line. However, my heart sank when David didn't turn up. After a while, big
shouts came from other people, “Come on David! You are the best! ” David limped
at the back of the queue. Everyone along the road cheered for him. I went up to
meet him, giving him a big hug. He said breathless, “ I just made it ,sir. ”
And eventually his usual big toothy smile returned to his face.何玉秀老师
We
sat down next to each other, but David wouldn't look at me.“If I were you, I would be also afraid of
being laughed at.” I said gently to show my understanding. He slowly raised his
dropping head , tears filling his eyes. I asked him whether he would regret if
he gave up the event since you have practised so hard. He mulled it over and
said “yes”. I told him all of his classmates and teachers would always have his
back. He raised his eyes, looking at me gratefully. “I will run”, he said
firmly and stood up.I
watched as David moved on to the starting line with the other runners.Seeing him coming over, his teammates cheered for him by giving him high fives. When the starting
whistle sounded, he ran forward. His body swayed violently with running.
Somebody burst into laughter, but David ran continually, his face shining with
determination. Soon the cheers drowned out the jeers. Half an hour later，I
fimally caught sight of a wobbly figure heading for the finish line, he made
it! “Live confidently without fear of
ridicule.” I murmured to myself and felt
so proud of David.
