親朋好友及老師們，謝謝來參加這麽一個特別的典禮。是的，我們就即將從八年級畢業了，在中學這幾年，我們一起分享了歡笑，傷心的時光。他曾被人冷落，坐在冷板凳上，而後來竟然以每場比賽平均得分24.6 和9.2 次的助攻爆發出來，他創造了林來瘋旋風，他成了明星球員，這人就是林書豪。他相信這句古老的名言，他說“勤能補拙”。是的，這是不變的真理。在衆多彩筆中，也許我不是最閃亮的那一枝，但是只要我立定志向，努力不懈，必能完成我的夢想。我將有如老虎般的勇氣，獅子般的心志，我將勝過挑戰，我能登上山峰，也能渡過深淵。我有能力應付人生的種種難關。

記得小學的時候，鋼琴，數學比賽，每年全A的成績，雖不容易，但是我達到了。但是不知爲何，我卻不因此感到滿足。我覺得我自己像個雪人一般，雖然能站立在寒冬裏，但是只要夏天一來，炙熱的陽光就會把我熔化掉，變成小小的一灘水。升上國中以後,我不想只是一灘水，我想要成爲海洋，我想要與衆不同，我想要能發揮影響力，但是在六年級的時候，這些事都沒有發生。

剛進六年級的時候，努力想長大的我卻是個膽小害羞的小男生。首先每天六節課在不同的教室，我花了好些時候才適應。每次走在校園裏的時候，我都試著裝成很酷的樣子，但現在回想起來實在很好笑，因爲那時我留了一個香菇頭，怎麽酷得起來呢？數學課的時候，我得去跟八年級的學生上課，我害怕的只能躲在一邊的小角落裏，靜靜的上課。這差不多就是我六年級的生活。

七年級了，我再次告訴自己，我要不一樣，我要成爲學校的明星人物。我還是繼續裝的很酷，看到六年級的小朋友們，我真覺得高他們一等，哈哈，我是七年級，你麽才六年級。現在我的朋友也比較多了， 在課堂上我也能夠比較自在的與老師同學彼此討論了。但是我還是不太滿意自己，我仍然躲在我自己的安樂窩裏，不敢冒險，嘗試些瘋狂的事，勇於表達自己， 使自己也樂在其中。七年級結束了，我告訴自己，下一年我不要再在意別人的眼光，我將勇敢的做真正的自己。

八年級， 毫無疑問的這是國中三年來最棒最有趣的一年。現在我樂於與老師同學們聊天，我熱衷於學校的球隊和社團。特別是參加籃球校隊，我們所向無敵，最後還拿了總冠軍，這真是畢生難忘的經驗。這年打球的經驗也是最令我難以忘懷的。我了解了什麽是團隊合作，更重要的我感受到了歸屬感的。每當比賽開始前，帶領著大家一起精神喊話，鼓舞大家的士氣，更使我覺得我是這球隊的一員。我覺得我就是學校裏的林書豪。這一年，我完成了我的目標，我不再只是小小的一灘水，我變成了廣大的海洋。但是我知道我不限於此，我們還渴望更多，渴望追求更大更有義意的目標。

有些人能夠早點兒實現他們的理想，然而，終究，有一天我們全會達到。現在我們已經準備好了，我們即將破繭而出，展翅飛翔，自由翺遊於天空中。

我們的樂團

今年我和我的朋友一起完成了課堂的期末作業，製作了一支音樂錄影帶， 故事内容描寫一支默默無名的樂團，如何奮鬥想要成名，他們嘗試各種不同的曲風，歷經被經紀公司開除，最後終于實現夢想。這支音樂片受到老師大大的肯定，老師在不同的班級裏播放， 與同學們分享。現在他們想要為樂團找個新的方向， 您有什麽建議呢？

Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning,
Give me oil in my lamp, I pray.
Give me oil in my lamp, keep me burning,
Keep me burning till the break of day.

Sing Hosanna! sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King of Kings.
Sing Hosanna! sing Hosanna!
Sing Hosanna to the King.

Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
Give me joy in my heart, I pray.
Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
Keep me praising till the break of day.

Give me peace in my heart, keep me resting,
Give me peace in my heart I pray,
Give me peace in my heart, keep me resting,
Keep me resting, till the break of day.

The Upside of being An Introvert (And Why Extroverts Are Overrated)

The Upside  of  being An Introvert (And Why Extroverts Are Overrated)

Free Trait Theorem
"The social value of speaking and lecturing trumps the discomfort of  his introversion can cause him."
"The idea while we have certain fixed bits of personality, we can act out of character in the service of core personal goals.
"The key is balancing three equal but very different identities."
1, Biogenic identity: Inborn personality that makes us introverted of extroverted.
2, Sociegenic identity: The expectation of our culture, family, and religion.
3, Ideogenic identity: Our personal desires and our sense of what matters

Author-Avi

Interview with Avi who is Newbery Honors author
He has  symptoms of dyslexia
His writings were always criticized by his teachers-sloppy,careless, and messy in his early school years.
In college, he  did not take English class, however he kept on reading and writing.
Kids are wonderful and direct readers. They read differently from adults.They engage themselves in books and suck them books up.

The problem to teach children to write is to expect their work to be whole.
