   In the town of Boone，8 years ago this summer，a Chick-fil-A was built and all the parents and children were delighted to have a place with great food and a wonderful indoor playground. But there was one little girl who couldn't enjoy the food because her treatments made all food tasteless. She was most disappointed，however，that she was not able to play on the new playground that she saw so often on the way to the doctor's office. This was because her immune system（免疫系统）was nearly non-existent，and her parents and doctors were concerned that she might pick up a bad germ（病菌）.

One day when she was at the doctor's office，the manager of Chick-fil-A，who happened to be the husband of her favorite nurse and was bringing her lunch，knelt down before the little girl and asked her if she had been to the new place to play. The little girl sadly explained her health issues and the reason for her absence. The man held her and cried with her.

The next day，the little girl received a phone call from the man to meet him in the parking lot on Sunday. The girl's mom said，"I thought you are closed on Sundays." He said，"We do，but I have a surprise for your little girl. Oh，make sure she has play clothes and bring her best friend."

That Sunday，the little girl，her mom and dad，her best friend and her mom went to Chick-fil-A. The manager locked the door behind them，and disinfected（消毒）the entire play area from top to bottom twice. He served them cold fountain drinks and ice cream，and then played with the little girls until they could play no longer.

I know this story to be true because the little girl is my daughter, Makala. She will never forget the sacrifice and kindness of the manager. She will forever love him, and now that she is cancer-free, Chick-fil-A has the best chicken in her opinion.

Challenges of life are of great important in our growth. It reminds me of my days which I joined in the military training after I entered senior high school. It was the first time I have lived away from my home, so I found difficult to fit in. And the training officer was strict on me. I once thought I couldn’t stick to the end. But final, I made it. The training made it much easy for me to adapt to my future life. And the difficulties I came across have now became a precious memory in my life.

In a short, it’s better to learning to regard the challenges of life as the stepping stone to future success and make the best of them.

Yesterday, I saw the old lady fall down when I went to school. I was going to help him up. At that moment, a passer-by stop me, saying I might be misunderstood. Hearing from his words, I began to slow down my steps. However, another student, that saw everything, went quick up to help. The old lady said nothing but lots of thank to the boy. I felt badly and ashamed. Help others is forever a virtue of China. We can’t let it disappear. I will try my best reach out my hand next time.
