My favorite English magazine is Reader's Digest. It features a variety of topics which are really interesting. I am going to introduce one of the good stories today.
Story:
There was a young girl who was really poor because her mother died from complications of AIDS and her father was housed in a shelter and was in no position to help her.Therefore, she lived in a stairwell.
However, she never lost hope. The happiest moment for her under the circumstances was to envision her bright future of getting into Harvard University. It was so vivid that she decided to take action. First, she managed to find a school that accepted her after years of truancy and studied diligently to get good grades.
At that time, her work appeared in a famous American magazine and people around her start helping by providing food, giving her heart-warming messages and so on. That kind of help encouraged her a lot and finally her vision came true.
Now she is working at an NGO to support homeless children. She says a certain amount of want is healthy since it isn't a hindrance but a catalyst.
My Opinion:
The story reminds me of the proverb "He can who believes he can".If you confront a painful situation, it isn't a good idea just to be patient. Taking action bears changes. That might be a positive impact or create trials but you can learn from it.
