The Hottest news in Hong Kong this week was a F.5 student couples committed suicide together because the girl was pregnant. The boy’s father is a friend of my mother so that we felt more sad.

Might be the young couples felt the path of life will be very harsh, which made them choose to use a wrong method to deal with the problem. If they have chance to think twice or they have chance to talk with other people that they trusted, gaining the support and understanding for other people, tragedy might not happen.

This tragedy recalled my memory.A few years ago, when I was doing my teaching practicum, one of my student had lost one of his legs because of bone cancer, he was only 10 years old. Although he suffered a lot, he chose to face it until the last moment. He enjoyed  going to school, enjoyed attending my lessons, enjoying the time of being alive though medical treatment made him very week. On the last day of my practicum, he made a delicious sandwiches for me. This was the most delicious sandwiches I ever had, I wont forget its taste. A week after my practicum, he no longer able to go to school cause he was in serious sick. At last he passed away in that August. During the edge of his death, I went to his home to visit him, seeing him suffering so much, I could not stop my tears but he comforted me,telling me I should not be sad. He was a  brave kid. His positive attitude always remind me that we should cherish our life though life is not easy. Living is a gift no matter how harsh it is. Afterwards, when my friend feel depressed, I tell them my student’s story to encourage them. If you are lucky to read this article, I hope you can be positive towards difficulties and learn from my wonderful student .
