Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or 【小题1】 and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 【小题2】. When you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health. When you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you. When you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. 【小题3】. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. 【小题4】, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving (旋转的) door. When it closes, it also opens. 【小题5】.

As a small child, I spent a month in the children’s hospital because of my burnt hands. I remember it as a surprisingly happy and bright place. It was almost 11 years ago, but I can recall much about my experience there.

After many years of having to deal with people asking me what happened to my hands, I got fairly used to it. What I couldn’t bear was those who did not ask. They thought they were being polite, but just stared. In fact it’s really a very simple story.

September. At my cottage. When I was 4. Those are the three facts that set the base for the story.

Typically, when people ask, I tell them the story my mother gives about her rushing to pull me from the campfire and quickly putting me into the water, calling 911 and my grandma, who was a nurse, and then rushing me off to hospital. My father had to wait behind with my 2-year-old brother. This is the logical story to give because it provides the most information, and makes the most sense.

Immediately after the accident, the questions never seemed to end. At first, it was very stressful for me to have to explain to everyone what had happened, because I was a young and shy girl who just wanted to keep her burned hands to herself. But after some time, I gradually realized that I was over-thinking it and that it really wasn’t such a big deal.

Now going into my fourth year of high school. I never hesitate to tell people my story whether they ask or stare. I do it because I’ve realized that I don’t if I have to explain what happened a million more times it’s a part of my life, so there’s no sense in feeling uncomfortable with others over it.

The whole experience has made me a lot less shy and more courageous.
