I used to be a very selfcentered person，but in the past two years I have really changed. I have started to think about other people before I think about myself. I am happy that I am becoming a person.
I think my change started when I was at Palomar College. At first，I just wanted to get my and be left alone. I thought I was smarter than everyone else，so I hardly ever to anyone in my classes. By the end of my first semester，I was really . It seemed as if everyone but me had made friends and was having fun. So I tried a(n) . I started asking people around me how they were doing，and if they were having trouble I to help. That was really a big for me. By the end of the year，I had several new friends，and two of them are still my best friends today.
A bigger cause of my new ，however，came when I took a parttime job at Vista Nursing Home. One old lady there who had Alzheimer’s disease became my . Every time I came into her room，she was so because she thought I was her daughter. Her real daughter never visited her，so I took her place. She let me that making others feel good made me feel good too. When she died，I was ，but I was also very grateful to her.
I think I am a much person today than I used to be，and I hope I will not forget these experiences. They have me to care about other people more than about myself. I who I am today，and I could not say that a few years ago.

A Leap to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive, she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom that even though she couldn’t see , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her attitude.
Lola never thinks about . She is presently at Level 7 while the highest is Level 10 in gymnastics. Her is to reach Level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids she grew up.
Lola is of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her for others is “just believe yourself”.
