When I was 15，school life always felt like a big challenge.Unlike my classmates who got good grades easily，I struggled（挣扎）with math and science.After failing several exams，I made a quick decision-I dropped out of school and started working at a local cafe.

At first，earning money on my own seemed exciting.I bought new clothes and saved for asmartphone，just like other teenagers would do.But soon，the long working hours made me tired.Every night I came home with sore feet and an empty mind.My friends were preparing for high school，while I was cleaning tables.

One rainy aftemoon，I saw my old classmate Lily passing by the cafe with her books.She waved at me with her bright smile.Suddenly，I realized I missed learning.That night，I made up my mind to try again.

With the help of a kind teacher，I returned to school the next semester（学期）.It wasn't easy to catch up.I stayed after class to ask questions and practiced reading every moming.During lunch breaks，I reviewed notes instead of playing games.Slowly，my test scores began to climb like spring bamboo shoots.

Last month，something wonderful happened.I received a"Most Improved Student" award.The principal（校长）shook my hand as the whole class

In ancient times，the world was a peaceful and beautiful place.The sky was supported by four giant pillars（柱子），and humans lived happily.However，one day，a terrible thing happened.Two powerful gods began fighting angrily with each other.During their fight，they destroyed the pillars that supported the sky.

As a result，part of the sky collapsed（倒塌），leaving huge holes.Terrible things began happening—heavy rain caused dangerous floods，fires broke out everywhere，
