From the time I was in the third grade, I knew I wanted to be a writer. After the first prize for my story, I spent much of my free time writing wild stories of strange living animals, kids’ fun experiences and poems(诗) of I felt about my world. In the fourth grade, I continued to write. I always took a small notebook with me so I could write whenever I felt writing something down on it.

When I started the fifth grade, my English teacher was Mrs. Foster. She was the teacher I’d ever had. She always had something nice to say about everyone, and she failed to say it out loud. I loved her much that I showed her my notebook and what I had been writing ever since the third grade. When she returned my to me, she had written encouraging notes on them, which made me really great.

“Don’t give up your dream, Kathy,” she said, “I didn’t give up . I always wanted to be a teacher, and here I am.”

I did what Mrs. Foster encouraged me to do. Now I have had most of my stories published (出版) in books and magazines.

The secret of success is to your dream. And sometimes, it takes other dreamers to help keep your dreams alive. I’m glad Mrs. Foster was a dreamer too.

Ann was my best friend. She had come to play half an hour ago, and I didn’t want her to go. “Your mother said you could stay an hour.” I said.

Ann pointed at the Teddy Bear on my desk. “I’ll stay if you give me your Teddy Bear.” she said.

I couldn’t imagine giving it to her. It was a special gift from Aunt Reba on my tenth birthday. My aunt was a beautiful and kind woman who was never too busy to spend time with me. The day she died, I cried for hours, unable to believe that I would never see her again. Now, when I saw the Teddy Bear, I was filled with memories(回忆) of Aunt Reba.

“Come on,” Ann shouted, “I’m your best friend.”

I don’t know what came over me, but I really wanted someone to play with me. So I handed Ann the Teddy Bear! Then, she stayed.

That evening I went to bed without dinner. The memories of Aunt Reba brought tears to my eyes. How ashamed I felt. I was sad all night.

Alone in the dark, I asked myself, “Is Ann really my best friend?”

At school the next day, I found Ann. I asked for the Teddy Bear. She was surprised at first. Then she thought for a few seconds and finally said, “Okay, I don’t like it anyway.”

After that, Ann and I stopped playing together. Through the years, I have had other best friends. I have come to understand that best friends are people who want to spend time with you, and they ask nothing in return.
