The third question is ...


Hi! Nicole and Nice Class Six!


We talked about some respectable figures in the history.So I wonder who you respect the most as your role model. And Why?


I respect Mother Therasa because she had lived with the poor, the old and the sick, taking care of them for most of her life until she died.


Here are quotes of Mother Teresa.


"I once picked up a woman from a garbage dump and she was burning with fever; she was in her last days and her only lament was: ‘My son did this to me.’ I begged her: You must forgive your son. In a moment of madness, when he was not himself, he did a thing he regrets. Be a mother to him, forgive him. It took me a long time to make her say: ‘I forgive my son.’ Just before she died in my arms, she was able to say that with a real forgiveness. She was not concerned that she was dying. The breaking of the heart was that her son did not want her. This is something you and I can understand."

Hello, Crystal
I respect Gandhi the most.
He avandoned everything to help his people including his family time and his job as a lowyer.
Who darely think of silent demonstration? He was a hero not only in India but also in the world.
He didn't give up his mission even though he had a lot of torture.
His big smile always makes me cheer up.
I know you have hard time taking care of your parents.
Cheer up and if you need any help, our classmates are ready to heip you including me. Take care

Um.. who do I respect? I would like to put my parents on the top. All their lives, they made great sacrifices for their children.
If every parent can be a model for teir children, do his best, be considerate to others, we might have less need for great people.

Hi, Crystal !
Did you have a blast during weekends ? I hope you`ll enjoy yourself and be happy. Hmmm, your question is very difficult for me.
Because I have many great people whom I like. One of them is my father. He was my hero. He gave me many good examples that I really need to live with other people in social life. The most great person I respect is my father.

The one i respect.... i think there are hundred of thousand people i respect. what i mean is as a teacher, i respect those who work for only their students. i still remember a poetry talking about a teacher who is unknown. i sometimes come across an article that a teacher on a remote island has taught his/her students for many many years, just because he/she loves students there. i think there are just great and i wish i could do like that someday.

Hi, Crystal.
How are your parents?
I think you are having a hard time here and at home. Cheer up!
I respect someone who can stand up for their conviction. I usually change my ideas if I am faced with some difficulties. I may call myself easygoing or flexible person. But I sometimes want to stick to my ideas to the end.
