When I was in junior high school, what my friends thought of me was real important to me. During those, years, I grew much taller than most of my classmates. I didn't want to be laughed at for my unusual height, so I went along with the crowd who would play jokes on other kids at school. Of course, the jokes were directed at others and not at me.

    Once my friends and I put IcyHot (止痛贴) in the shorts of one of the kids on the basketball team. Not only was he terribly embarrassed, but he also had to go to the school nurse' s office.

    My father didn' t think that my behavior was funny, He reminded me about the golden rule: to treat others as I would like to be treated. What I was doing was hurting other kids, and in turn hurting my reputation (名声) as someone to be looked up to. My friends were looking up to me because I was tall, but what did they see'?

    He wanted me to be a leader who was a good example to others. He told me over and over again to be the leader that I was meant to be -- to be a big man in my heart and actions, as well as in my body. I had to question myself whether or not it was important to be the kind of leader and person my father believed I was inside. I knew in my heart that he was right.

    Once I focused on being the best that I could be at basketball and became a leader in the game, I took  my responsibility (责任) to set a good example more seriously. I sometimes have to stop and think before I  act, and I make mistakes sometimes everyone is human. But I continue to look for opportunities where I can make a difference, and to set a good example.
