Whenever the sun set and the blue sky came up，my father and I often went to climb the mountain near my house and we enjoyed that．Walking together，my father and I had a lot of conversations．I learned lessons from his experiences．I climbed mountains together with my father for so much time．He always told me，"You should have goals like climbing the mountain．"I really got a lot from the mountain﹣climbing．It made me patient as well．

In fact，climbing the mountain was a test for me because I was only eight years old．During the first few hours of climbing，I enjoyed the flowers and trees，and the birds'singing．But as time passed，I wanted to stop climbing．However，my father said to me，"You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain，this is just like your life．"

At that time，I was too young to understand his words．But later after that，I got to know the meaning of hope in life．I found myself standing at the top of the mountain，and the sky was as clear as crystal．（水晶）
