December 15, 2014

Dear Alfred

，

I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.

Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+

at 17, I’m anything but stupid.

The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(

注意力缺陷多动障碍

). Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep

focused for more than an hour at a time.

However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about

the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five

relevant pre-college courses.

While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but

couldn’t . So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your

training center.

Since then, I have

taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your

Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given

me a purpose.

Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public , I could work alone, but

still

have

a

team

to

talk

to.

Luckily,

I

discovered

the

job

—

Data

Analyst

—

this

month

and

have

been

going

full

steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as

good as, if not better than, my competitors.

Thank you.

You’ve given me hope that

I can follow

my heart.

For the first time, I feel good about myself

because I’m doing something, not because someone told me

I was doing good. I feel whole.

This is why you

’

re saving my life.

Yours,

Tanis

Surviving Hurricane Sandy(

飓风桑迪

)

Natalie

Doan,14,

has

always

felt

lucky

to

live

in

Rockaway,

New

York.

Living

just

a

few

blocks

from

the

beach,

Natalie

can

see

the

ocean

and

hear

the

wave

from

her

house.

“

It

’

s

the

ocean

that

makes

Rockaway

so

special,

”

she says.

On

October

29,

2012,

that

ocean

turned

fierce.

That

night,

Hurricane

Sandy

attacked

the

East

Coast,

and

Rockaway

was

hit

especially

hard.

Fortunately,

Natalie

’

s

family

escaped

to

Brooklyn

shortly

before

the

city

’

s

bridge closed.

When

they

returned

to

Rockaway

the

next

day,

they

found

their

neighborhood

in

ruins.

Many

of

Natalie

’

s

friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly.

Natalie

’

s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.

In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came

with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers

climbed

dozens

of

flights

of

stairs

to

deliver

water

and

food

to

elderly

people

trapped

in

powerless

high-rise

buildings.

“

My mom tells me that I can

’

t control what happens to me,

”

Natalie says.

“

but I can always choose how I deal

with it.

”

Natalie

’

s choice was to help.

She

created

a

website

page,

matching

survivors

in

need

with

donors

who

wanted

to

halp.

Natalie

posted

information about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within

days, Patrick

’

s collection was replaced.

In

the

coming

months,

her

website

page

helped

lots

of

kids:

Christopher,

who

received

a

new

basketball;

Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to

Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a

Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.

Today, the scars(

创痕

)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and

many

homes

have

been

rebuilt.

“

I

can

’

t

imagine

living

anywhere

but

Rockaway,

”

Natalie

declares.

“

My

neighborhood will be back, even stronger than be

fore.”

Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane ,she found______.
