I found a picture that interested me. My beautiful grandmother was dressed nicely, smiling with joy against the ocean. I showed the photo to my grandfather, and a smile appeared on his face. He told me how my grandmothers life was when my former grandfather had left her. Her children, including my mother, were very young. My grandmother was forced to move back with her parents and support her family with hardly any income (收入). But through all the suffering, she never got sad. When things would go from bad to worse, she would call her girlfriends, get dressed up, and go to the ocean for the day. Things finally turned around, and she remarried. My grandfather helped raise her children.That night in bed at my grandfathers house, I looked at this photo for hours. I considered what it must have been like for her when her husband went to the grocery store one day and never returned. I thought about how lonely and scared she must have been. But in that photo, I saw none of those feelings. I only saw a beautiful woman entirely enjoying herself and the wonderful beauty around her.I brought the photo home with me, and I keep it at my desk while I follow my dreams. When things start to get difficult, I see my grandmother saying to me, “Go call your girls, get dressed up and enjoy life!” It reminds me of my gifts and why I am here.

He would sit by watching as the sheep lazily ate fresh grass. After they had eaten, he would round them up and walk back home. Sometimes while watching his flock, he would curl up in a quiet corner and go off to sleep.One day, the shepherd found a wolf eyeing his sheep. However, it was some distance away and it made no effort to come nearer. The shepherd at first stood on guard against the wolf, as against an enemy, and kept a strict watch over its movements.This continued for a while. The shepherd would find the wolf waiting at the edge of the field every morning. But it made not the slightest effort to seize the sheep and would just watch. So, by and by, the shepherd let down his guard a bit. A few days later, he began to actually look forward to the wolfs presence.The wolf, who generally sat on a large piece of rock, looked like a big sheep dog from afar. The shepherd thought that other wild animals would be scared of the dogs presence and not harm his flock while it was around.Now, he began to look upon the wolf as a guardian of his flock. One day, in the middle of grazing his sheep, the shepherd was called back home urgently (紧急地). Leaving the sheep entirely in charge of the wolf, he left.When he came back, what did he find? The wolf had eaten most of his flock, with only a few sheep wandering about.

Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brothers dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortune. Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth. 58 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent. 59 By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion. 60 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.A.
