I didn't understand the real meaning of growth until I joined a volunteer program. Last summer, my mom asked me to join a program to help left-behind children in a small village. I didn't want to go at first because I wanted to spend my summer playing computer games. But mom said it would teach me something important. At the village, I helped the children with their homework, told them stories and played games with them. I found that some of them felt lonely without their parents, but they were still very hard-working. I learned to be patient and kind to others. I also realized that I was lucky to have my parents around me. When I came back home, I changed a lot. I started helping my parents do housework and stopped complaining about small things. I understood that growing up is not just about personal freedom, but about caring for others and becoming a better person. 1.

I'm glad to share my growing pains and gains with you. Like you, I once felt stressed about homework and argued with my parents often. I used to stay up late studying, which made me tired and grumpy. Later, I learned to plan my time better and talk to my parents calmly about my feelings. Now, I get better grades and have a closer relationship with my family. The biggest gain is that I've become more patient and responsible. When you feel stressed, try doing some sports or talking to your friends. It helps a lot! I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
