I got a cancer when I was 18. This was a big deal for someone to
31. I chose to fight. After treatments, I
32 from my illness. Life couldn’t have been any
33. When I became fit years later, I met a wonderful man and got married.
34, I still felt something missing and eager to find my
35.
As my 20-year anniversary (周年纪念) of being a cancer
36 approached, I wanted to do something special and
37. I organized a fundraiser, calling it “A Mission (使命) of Love” and thanks to my
38 family and friends, raised﹩4,000 for St. Jude’s, planning to
39 it myself. Three quarters of the money would be given as a (n)
40 to the hospital, and what was left would go toward buying
41 for the children. I also organized a T-shirt
42 activity for any child who felt well enough.
Thanksgiving Day seemed the most
43 day of the year for the mission, and so it was all arranged. We went to a store and
44 three shopping carts with toys. It was
45 we were celebrities (名人) when the employees and other shoppers knew what we were doing.
On Thanksgiving Day, as we got to St. Jude’s, I became
46 emotional, as my eyes were filled with tears of
47. After dropping the toys off, we arrived where six children were waiting anxiously to begin painting. To me, it was as though they weren’t sick, and to see them smile was the greatest gift I could have ever
48.
Leaving there that day, I knew I had finally found my purpose. All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don’t
49 why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you
50 in life. It’s what you do for others.
