To the Editor,

    I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One,the sixth﹣grade mentoring (指导) group.Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students.Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring.We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group. This is my first year as a mentor,but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it.

    I was assigned (分配) to a mentor last year. Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me. I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies, going from nearly failing math to passing it. It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college? Even if I don't, I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life. My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself. Now that I am a mentor, I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life.In many situations,lasting friendships are made as well. My mentor and I hit it off right away.And we're still good friends today.

    Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment(承诺).Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring.Considering your responsibilities,it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule.But I hope you will at least consider the possibility.

    Thank you for considering our invitation. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Mark Lopez

Mr. Reynolds, my teacher, hand us a list of thoughts, and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts. I chose the topic "I wonder why things are the way they are."

   I wrote down all the questions that puzzled(困扰)me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer, and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper, I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the question.

   The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story:

   Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(毕业)? Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called "Grandma" ,one day?…

   Dad, why can't I stay out until 12: 00? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do I miss being at home? Why do you love me so much?..

   Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you.

   At the end of my story, I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face.Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive, but on the questions we ask.
