I will graduate from junior high school. There is one thing that I will never forget.It happened on a rainy day. When I was on my way to school, I suddenly realized that there was something wrong with my left foot. I felt painful and I couldn’t walk fast any more. I had no choice but to walk at a slow speed. I thought I might be late. Although my heart was filled with helplessness and hopelessness, I still tried my best to walk as quickly as possible. When I finally reached school, my teacher noticed my problem. He cared about me instead of punishing me. After class, he took me to the hospital.My teacher is a kind and gentle man who always gave us much care. I will never forget the care he gave me.
