It helped kids get a taste of what college was like. We had classes in the morning and the evenings were filled with fun activities. We did have a break in the afternoons. One afternoon, my friend Claude and I found an old basketball. We went to an outdoor basketball court for a game of one-on-one. At that time, Claude was taller than me. He was also better at basketball. Gradually. I fell behind. I made up my mind and drove hard to the basket, but missed it！ The ball bounced off the rim(从篮筐弹回). Just as I jumped up to catch it, I saw an elbow above my face. When Claude caught the ball, his elbow hit my eye hard. I saw stars everywhere. The pain was terrible. Claude kept saying “sorry” over and over. I laughed through the pain. I spent the next few days walking around with a black eye, but it was worth it. For years. afterward, I got a laugh whenever I told the story and joked about Claude's elbow of death. We all get an elbow to the eye sometimes. Our plans fail. Things work against us. Our ups become downs. When this happens, it's best to face it with laughter and forgiveness(原谅). In this way, you can turn your pain into joy and you can learn and grow. 1.

For me, skating was more important than anything else in the world. Nothing else filled my heart with so much happiness. I spent 24 hours a week developing my skills. I had no social life or interests except skating. And I got the first place in nearly every match. Unluckily, during one match, I fell and was badly hurt. The doctor told me that I couldn't skate any more. The pain in my back was hard to bear and even everyday life became difficult. The accident took away all of my happiness and success. I lost heart and had no idea who I would become. After being in great pain for eight months, something had to change. I didn't sit around and waste my days any longer. I began to work for the local community. By volunteering as a swimming coach and summer reading teacher for kids, I got an idea of who I wanted to become. After a few months, I found a new interest. Little by little, I stepped out of the pain and rebuilt my confidence. Sometimes, challenges in life will get in our way. We can choose to stay behind or try to get past these challenges. My accident was a big challenge for me. It didn't stop me from reaching success. Today, I'm a very confident person and I always face my life with a smile. 6. What changed the writer's everyday life?
