    While I was in 9th grade, I built a circuit for the traffic system of our city. After getting the first prize, I
got this valuable advice from my father, "Do whatever interests you, and don't let the work challenge you,
make sure you are challenging that work."
    I have always preferred the projects which are challenging and related to real life problems. I clearly
remember building a shipping program several years ago. I divided the whole project into several small
sections. When I understood it clearly, used my brainstorming skill on it, and gave some basic ideas. Then
I asked my professor for help before jumping into coding. At first, I did not know how to ask questions
correctly and always asked the question "How do I do it?" As I kept working and discussed with my professor,
I became more comfortable and those"How" questions soon turned into "What if I do this and that" types o
f questions.
    It took me four days to write the code. The desire to solve the problem kept me sleepless all nights
brainstorming in even greater details. Every time I saw my program running smoothly, I exploded with joy.
I still remember the last day of my work. I was getting some problem and didn't know what to do. At that
moment, a man came in to clean. He has headphones, and he was dancing while cleaning the room. Seeing
this, I burst out laughing. That moment calmed me. I regained energy and interest and started to work again,
and soon I fixed the problem.
    My success in the project proved that breaking up a large problem into small parts could help find a
possible solution. Discussing the problem with others was also very beneficial. Now I have gained the
confidence to attempt any kind of project.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
