B

In the summer between my first year and second year in college, I was invited to be

an instructor(辅导员) at a high school camp. On the first day, when we were dancing and

playing games, I found a boy sitting under the tree. He looked weak(虚弱的). I walked to

him and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He replied quietly,

“No, I really don’t want to do this.” I could understand(理解) that he was in a new world.

In fact, the boy didn’t need a close talk but a friend.

At lunch the next day, I saw the boy sitting under the tree again. I tried again with

the same invitation, but he refused once again. Later I knew his name was Tommy. Then I

tried my best to spend time with him.

The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to

celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their feelings. To my surprise,

I found the boy from under the tree talking happily with two boys. I couldn’t believe it

was the same person.

In October for my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy’s mother. She told

me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I felt really sad. The mother said, “Tommy

mentioned(提到) you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made

new friends with confidence(自信). You made a difference for Tommy during his last months.”
