I was eighteen years old，fresh out of high school with a bright future to look forward to，when I received the "big" news that I got cancer．This was a big deal for someone of my age to stand．What should I do？Lost in self pity or fight for myself ？I chose the second．
After four months of treatments，I overcame my difficulties and started to be a new person-someone who took nothing for granted and who learned to appreciate everything and everyone around me．Years passed and I received my certificate （證書） in medical assisting，met a wonderful man，moved to New York and got married．Truly，life couldn't have been any better．
For years，I had always kept in touch with St．Jude Children's Hospital in Memphis，TN and the children living with cancer who were being treated there．What a truly beautiful place!No patient was ever turned away regardless of ability to pay．As my 20-year anniversary （紀念日） of being a cancer survivor approached，I wanted to do something special．I organized a fund raiser，calling it "A Mission of Love，" and thanks to my generous family and friends，raised ＄4，000 for St．Jude's．Three quarters of the money would be given as a donation （捐獻） to the hospital，and what was left would go toward buying toys for the children．I also had organized a T-shirt painting activity for the hospital．
My husband and I flew to Memphis with 50 T-shirts and a huge bag of cloth paint the day before Thanksgiving．We went to the toy store and filled three shopping carts with all kinds of toys．It was as though we were celebrities when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing．
On Thanksgiving Day we pulled into the front gate of St．Jude．After dropping the toys off，we went to a waiting area where some children were waiting anxiously to begin painting．They picked out their shirts and my husband and I helped them get started．To see them smile was one of the greatest gifts I could have ever received．When the activity was over，we dropped off the donation to a kind worker，and our visit came to an end．

1．Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go Hayward（不歸路） and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
