I was a single mother of four children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, and clothes on our backs. I always told myself to be brave and strong, just for my four children. I hoped all my efforts would be worthwhile, as long as my children could grow up healthily. Every New Year's Day we drove downtown to enjoy a special dinner, but the big excitement for the kids was the fun of shopping at the mall. This was a tradition of my family, so they all looked forward to the coining of the day. They talked and planned for weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for New Year's Day.
The big day arrived and we started out early. I gave each of the four kids a twenty-dollar bill and asked them to search for gifts. Then everyone scattered (散开)with the bill. I sat at a table in a cafe waiting for my children and enjoying an instant of silence. It must be a happy d
ay.
Back in the car driving home, everyone was excited about the day, laughing and asking each other about what they had bought. I noticed Ginger my younger daughter had only one small and flat bag with her. I could see enough through the plastic bag to tell that she had bought candy bars —fifty-cent candy bars! What did she do with that twenty-dollar bill I had given her? I was angry. After getting home, I called her into my bedroom and closed the door. I couldn't hold back my anger and shouted at her, NWhat about the rest of the money? No one would be convinced all these candies are worth 20 dollars. What did you do with the rest of the money?”
Paragraph 1:
She was shocked at my reaction and burst into tears.
Paragraph 2:
My an^er disappeared instantly.

Lungs nearly bursting, I stniggled to lift my head out of the water. Inch by inch, my tired body reached for the end of the pool.
The extent of my swimming career was purely recreational, while the competitive swimmers nearby thought noticing of the seemingly simple task of a 500-meter swim test. Pushing myself to finish what I had started, I could only think: why not take the easy way out?
Earlier that week I had turned in my first job application at a local pool. Overqualified I was hired on the spot. However, the tasks were boring: helping confused visitors and measuring the height of children before they went down the slide, those sorts of things. I was capable of more.
So a swim test was required, establishing the mere fact that I was not completely helpless in a pool. Midway through, the manager administering the test remarked. This looks really easy for you. Why aren't you applying to-become a guard?''
“The thought hadn't crossed my mind.”
"Well, lifeguarding demands more responsibility, strength and respect. Thus the position pays $2 more per hour. Your swimming skills are strong enough. All you need to do is complete a certification class:
Inside I was unsure of myself, but his words inspired me — You never know what you are capable of until you force yourself to do it.
Soon I passed the swim test. All left was to practice and learn first aid. CPR(心肺复苏),and procedures for different land and water-based emergencies.
Work started soon. A well-intentioned yet anxious feeling in me soon passed. Days, weeks, and months went by without incident; emergencies were rare. The skills and training I had so carefully studied and acquired seemed unnecessary".
Today appeared to be another uneventful day. However, shortly after the other guards signaled to the children to exit the pool. I noticed one boy was still in the middle while the ot
hers had climbed up.
