This hit hme fr me as I was sitting with my 2-year-ld grandsn n a sfa ver the Spring Festival hliday. I had brught a children’s bk t read. It had simple wrds and clrful pictures — a perfect match fr his age.

Swimming pls, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at nrmal evening hurs, nt 4 in the afternn) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly t my taste, dulled by mnths f cld- weather rt vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure t the Sarasta farmers’ market that prved t be mre than wrth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was funded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday frm 7:00 am t 1 p.m, rain r shine, alng Nrth Lemn and State streets. Baskets f perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides f the Java Dawg cffee truck; and mst f all, the tmates: amazing, large, sft and rund red tmates.
Disappinted by many a brken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) prmise, I’ve refused t buy winter tmates fr years. N matter hw attractive they lk in the stre, nce I get them hme they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I hmed in, with uncertainty, n ne particular table at the Brwn’s Grve Farm’s stand, full f fresh and sft tmates the size f my fist. These were the real deal- and at that mment, I realized that the best part f Sarasta in winter was ging t be eating things that back hme in New Yrk I wuldn’t be experiencing again fr mnths.
Delighted as I was by the tmates in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brwn’s Grve Farm is ne f the suppliers fr Jack Dusty, a newly pened restaurant at the Sarasta Ritz Carltn, where- luckily fr me- I was planning t have dinner that very night. Withut even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be rdering every tmat n it.

Prudly reading my wrds, I glanced arund the rm, nly t find my classmates bearing big smiles n their faces and tears in their eyes. Cnfused, I glanced tward my stne-faced teacher. Having n chice, I slwly raised the reprt I had slaved ver, hping t hide myself. “What culd be causing everyne t act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back t the day Miss Lancelt gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new schl. It seemed simple: g n the Internet and find infrmatin abut a man named Gerge Washingtn. Since my idea f histry came frm an ancient teacher in my hme cuntry, I had never heard f that name befre. As I searched the name f this fellw, it became evident that there were tw peple bearing the same name wh lked cmpletely different! One invented hundreds f uses fr peanuts, while the ther led sme srt f army acrss America. I stared at the screen, wndering which ne my teacher meant. I called my grandfather fr a glden piece f advice; flip (掷) a cin. Heads—the cmmander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my reprt wuld be abut the great man wh invented peanut butter, Gerge Washingtn Carver.
Weeks later, standing befre this unfriendly mass, I was ttally lst. Oh well, I lwered the paper and sat dwn at my desk,burningt find ut what I had dne wrng. As a classmate began his reprt, it all became clear, “My reprt is n Gerge Washingtn, the man wh started the American Revlutin.” The whle wrld became quite! Hw culd I knw that she meant that Gerge Washingtn?
Obviusly, my grade was awful. Heartbrken but fearless, I decided t turn this arund. I talked t Miss Lancelt, but she insisted: N re-ds; n new grade. I felt that the punishment was nt justified, and I believed I deserved a secnd chance. Cnsequently, I threw myself heartily int my wrk fr the rest f the schl year. Ten mnths later, that chance unflded as I fund myself sitting in the headmaster’s ffice with my grandfather, nw having an entirely different cnversatin. I smiled and flashed back t the embarrassing mment at the beginning f the year as the headmaster infrmed me f my ptin t skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

“I Went Skydiving at 84!”
As a yung girl grwing up in the 1930s, I always wanted t fly a plane, but back then it was almst unheard f a wman t d that. I gt a taste f that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged fr me me ride in a ht air balln fr my birthday. But the experience turned ut t be very dull. Arund that time ,I tld my husband that I wanted t skydive. S when ur retirement cmmunity（社区）annunced that they were having an essay cmpetitin and the tpic was an experience f a lifetime that yu wanted t have, I decided t write abut my dream.
In the essay, I wrte abut my desire t skydive, stating Gerge Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why nt me? I was just 84 and in pretty gd health. A year went by and I heard nthing. But then at a cmmunity party in late April 2009, they annunced that I was ne f the winners. I just culdn’t believe it.
One june 11, 2009, nearly 40 f my family and friends gathered in the area clse t where I wuld land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructr, Jay, guided me thrugh the experience. The plane was the nisiest ne I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just lking frward t the experience. When we reachen 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me t thrw myself ut f the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was s strng that I culd hardly breathe. Fr a secnd I thught, “What have I gtten myself int?” But then everything gt calmer. We were in a free fall fr abut a minute befre Jay pened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just flated dwnward f zhut five minutes. Being up in the cluds and lking at the view belw was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the ht air balln. I was just enjying it.
Skydiving was really ne f the greatest experiences f my life. I hpe ther peple will lk at me and realize that yu dn’t stp living just because yu are 84 years ld. If there’s smething yu want t experience, lk int it. If it’s smething that is pssible, make it happen.

“They tell me that yu’d like t make a statue(塑像) f me-is that crrect, Miss Vinnie Ream?”
The deep, gentle vice helped calm the nervus girl. Asking a favr f the President f the United States was n casual matter, especially fr a seventeen-year-ld girl.
“Yes, sir,” she replied, her dark eyes meeting his. “I wuldn’t have du ask yu, but my teacher, Mr. Mills, says I am ready. I plan t make it in an admirable manner. “
President Lincln smiled. “Painters, sculptrs-they’ve all tried t make the best f this rdinary face, but I’m afraid there’s nt much hpe. What did yu have in mind, Miss Ream? A bust(半身像)?”
Befre Vinnie culd say yes, the President hurried n, a shade f aplgy in his vice.
“Of curse-I shuldn’t have asked. A full-length pse wuld be much t big a prject fr a yung wman yur size. “
Vinnie’s face turned red. She realized she lked like a child, with her tiny figure. “Small des nt mean weak, sir,” she defended herself. “I was brn in the cuntry f Wiscnsin. I’ve driven teams f hrses and carried water. Making a full-length clay(粘土) figure wuld nt exhaust my strength-and that is what I intend t d!”

The freezing Nrtheast hasn’t been a terribly fun place t spend time this winter, s when the chance came fr a weekend t Sarasta, Flrida, my bags were packed befre yu culd say “sunshine”. I left fr the land f warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking f beaches and range trees. When we tuched dwn t blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer f gratefulness. Swimming pls, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at nrmal evening hurs, nt 4 in the afternn) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly t my taste, dulled by mnths f cld- weather rt vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure t the Sarasta farmers’ market that prved t be mre than wrth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was funded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday frm 7:00 am t 1 p.m, rain r shine, alng Nrth Lemn and State streets. Baskets f perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides f the Java Dawg cffee truck; and mst f all, the tmates: amazing, large, sft and rund red tmates.
Disappinted by many a brken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) prmise, I’ve refused t buy winter tmates fr years.

These were the real deal- and at that mment, I realized that the best part f Sarasta in winter was ging t be eating things that back hme in New Yrk I wuldn’t be experiencing again fr mnths.
Delighted as I was by the tmates in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brwn’s Grve Farm is ne f the suppliers fr Jack Dusty, a newly pened restaurant at the Sarasta Ritz Carltn, where- luckily fr me- I was planning t have dinner that very night.

Sme eyes rlled and there were a few lw grans(嘟囔声)when Ms.Yates was abut t speak. Many started lking at their watches and cming up with excuses t be anywhere instead f preparing t listen t a lecture frm an ld wman wh had few kind wrds fr her students and made them wrk harder than all the ther teachers cmbined.
Then Ms. Yates started t speak:
“I can’t tell yu hw pleased I am t be here. I haven’t seen many f yu since yur graduatin, but I have fllwed yur careers and enjyed yur victries as well as crying fr yur tragedies. I have a large cllectin f newspaper phtgraphs f my students. Althugh I haven’t appeared in persn, I have attended yur cllege graduatins, weddings and even the birth yur children, in my imaginatin.”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she cntinued:
“It was my belief that if I pushed yu as hard as I culd, sme f yu wuld succeed t please me and thers wuld succeed t anny me. Regardless f ur mtives, I can see that yu have all been successful in yu chsen path.”
“There is n greater cmfrt fr an educatr than t see the end result f his r her years f wrk. Yu have all been a great surce f pleasure and pride fr me and I want yu t knw I lve yu all frm the bttm f my heart.”
There was a silence ver the crwd fr a few secnds and then smene started clapping. Tee clapping turned int cheering, then int a deafening rar(呼喊).

Prudly reading my wrds, I glanced arund the rm, nly t find my classmates bearing big smiles n their faces and tears in their eyes. Cnfused, I glanced tward my stne-faced teacher. Having n chice, I slwly raised the reprt I had slaved ver, hping t hide myself. “What culd be causing everyne t act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back t the day Miss Lancelt gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new schl. It seemed simple: g n the Internet and find infrmatin abut a man named Gerge Washingtn. Since my idea f histry came frm an ancient teacher in my hme cuntry, I had never heard f that name befre. As I searched the name f this fellw, it became evident that there were tw peple bearing the same name wh lked cmpletely different! One invented hundreds f uses fr peanuts, while the ther led sme srt f army acrss America. I stared at the screen, wndering which ne my teacher meant. I called my grandfather fr a glden piece f advice; flip (掷) a cin. Heads—the cmmander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my reprt wuld be abut the great man wh invented peanut butter, Gerge Washingtn Carver.
Weeks later, standing befre this unfriendly mass, I was ttally lst. Oh well, I lwered the paper and sat dwn at my desk,burningt find ut what I had dne wrng. As a classmate began his reprt, it all became clear, “My reprt is n Gerge Washingtn, the man wh started the American Revlutin.” The whle wrld became quite! Hw culd I knw that she meant that Gerge Washingtn?
Obviusly, my grade was awful. Heartbrken but fearless, I decided t turn this arund. I talked t Miss Lancelt, but she insisted: N re-ds; n new grade. I felt that the punishment was nt justified, and I believed I deserved a secnd chance. Cnsequently, I threw myself heartily int my wrk fr the rest f the schl year. Ten mnths later, that chance unflded as I fund myself sitting in the headmaster’s ffice with my grandfather, nw having an entirely different cnversatin. I smiled and flashed back t the embarrassing mment at the beginning f the year as the headmaster infrmed me f my ptin t skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

“I Went Skydiving at 84!”
As a yung girl grwing up in the 1930s, I always wanted t fly a plane, but back then it was almst unheard f a wman t d that. I gt a taste f that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged fr me me ride in a ht air balln fr my birthday. But the experience turned ut t be very dull. Arund that time ,I tld my husband that I wanted t skydive. S when ur retirement cmmunity（社区）annunced that they were having an essay cmpetitin and the tpic was an experience f a lifetime that yu wanted t have, I decided t write abut my dream.
In the essay, I wrte abut my desire t skydive, stating Gerge Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why nt me? I was just 84 and in pretty gd health. A year went by and I heard nthing. But then at a cmmunity party in late April 2009, they annunced that I was ne f the winners. I just culdn’t believe it.
One june 11, 2009, nearly 40 f my family and friends gathered in the area clse t where I wuld land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructr, Jay, guided me thrugh the experience. The plane was the nisiest ne I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just lking frward t the experience. When we reachen 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me t thrw myself ut f the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was s strng that I culd hardly breathe. Fr a secnd I thught, “What have I gtten myself int?” But then everything gt calmer. We were in a free fall fr abut a minute befre Jay pened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just flated dwnward f zhut five minutes. Being up in the cluds and lking at the view belw was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the ht air balln. I was just enjying it.
Skydiving was really ne f the greatest experiences f my life. I hpe ther peple will lk at me and realize that yu dn’t stp living just because yu are 84 years ld. If there’s smething yu want t experience, lk int it. If it’s smething that is pssible, make it happen.
