In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night. It's a story about Jennings, a boy living in various orphanages (孤儿院) with only his stuffed animal (填充动物玩具), Doggie, for companionship. It's a fascinating book, but little did I know how it would touch my life and the lives of others.
One day, as I looked across my room at the pile of stuffed animals, an idea came to me. I would collect stuffed animals for children like Jennings. Immediately, I contacted agencies that support those children and they said the stuffed animals would certainly lift children's spirits.
I named my project "Cuddle Buddies". I wrote articles for the local and school newspapers, asking for donations of the "buddies"—stuffed animals. My phone kept ringing; schools, families, and toy factories all wanted to help. Much to my delight by the second week my living room looked like a zoo. Whenever Mom and I delivered the "buddies" to the agencies, the kids would be waiting there with their eyes down, too shy to look but shaking with excitement.
Six years after its launch, Cuddle Buddies continues to expand. Now over 25,000 stuffed animals have been donated to agencies worldwide. Simon, a seven-year-old boy in an African Children's Home, couldn't sleep at night after he lost his parents. When asked to choose his "buddies", Simon picked out a panda and soon after was sleeping through the night. I never dreamed Cuddle Buddies would work this way.
Upon graduation from high school, I designed a website, www.cuddlebuddies.net, to promote the project. The response was enthusiastic. More and more people joined me and two dozen Cuddle Buddies branches were established across the nation.
This has been a great experience. I've learned how to follow through on an idea and how to positively impact a life. I will go to college with these lessons in mind and continue my work with Cuddle Buddies, even when I engage in a whole new set of exciting academic and nonacademic pursuits.
我上中学之前的那个夏天，我读了《They Cage the Animals at Night》这本书，那是关于Jennings的故事，他住在孤儿院，只有他的填充玩具Doggie陪着他，那本书很吸引人，但是我没想到，它会触动我的人生，还有别人的人生。
有一天，我看着我房间的一堆填充玩具，我想到了一个主意，我要收集填充玩具，给像Jennings那样的孩子，我立刻联系了帮助那些孩子的机构，他们说，填充玩具能提升孩子的精神。
我把我的项目叫做Cuddle Buddies，我给当地和学校的报纸写文章，请求捐赠这些玩具，我的电话一直响，学校、家庭、玩具厂都想帮忙，让我开心的是，第二周，我的客厅像动物园一样，全是玩具，我和妈妈把玩具送到机构，孩子们低着头，太害羞了，不敢看，但是很激动。
项目启动6年后，Cuddle Buddies继续扩张，现在，超过25000个玩具，捐给了全球的机构，Simon，一个非洲孤儿院的7岁男孩，他失去父母之后，晚上睡不着，当让他选玩具的时候，他选了一个熊猫，然后他就能睡整觉了，我从来没梦想过，这个项目会这么成功。
高中毕业之后，我做了一个网站，来推广这个项目，反响很热烈，越来越多人加入，全国建了很多分支。
这是很棒的经历，我学到了，怎么坚持一个想法，怎么积极地影响别人的人生，我会带着这些教训，去上大学，继续我的工作，就算我要参与新的学业和其他的追求。

An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu (臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother's dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.
"It's supposed to stink. Just give it a try!" my grandfather said.
Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother's house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish.
Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle's condition of Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within sight, I would run away in fear.
However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually, and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.
My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle's Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.
Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice (偏见). As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance.
The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.

Essentially, everyone has two ages: a chronological (按时间计算的) age, how old the calendar says you are, and a biological age, basically the age at which your body functions as it compares to average fitness or health levels.
"Chronological age isn't how old we really are. It's merely a number," said Professor David Sinclair at Harvard University. "It is biological age that determines our health and ultimately our lifespan. We all age biologically at different rates according to our genes, what we eat, how much we exercise, and what environment we live in. Biological age is the number of candles we really should be blowing out. In the future, with advances in our ability to control biological age, we may have even fewer candles on our birthday cake than the previous one."
To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarkers (生物标志) that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune (免疫的) measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm (算法) does the rest.
Perhaps what's most important here is that these measures can be changed. Doctors can take this information and help patients make changes to lifestyle, and hopefully take steps to improve their biological conditions. "I think the most exciting thing about this research is that these things aren't set in stone," Levine said. "People can be given the information earlier and take steps to improve their health before it's too late."
Levine even entered her own numbers into the algorithm. She was surprised by the results. "I always considered myself a very healthy person. I'm physically active; I eat what I consider a fairly healthy diet. But I did not find my results to be as good as I had hoped they would be. It was a wake-up call," she said.
Levine is working with a group to provide access to the algorithm online so that anyone can calculate their biological age, identify potential risks and take steps to improve their own health in the long run. "No one wants to live an extremely long life with a lot of chronic (慢性的) diseases," Levine said. "By delaying the development of mental and physical functioning problems, people can still be engaged in society in their senior years. That is the ideal we should be pursuing."

When I graduated from high school, I wanted to major in comparative literature. But, once I found out my friends were going into "real" majors, like marketing, nursing, and engineering, I figured I needed to do the same to ensure a good career. So I changed my mind and chose Business Management as my major. I forced myself to believe that I would enjoy it and succeed in the future, but eventually I exhausted myself understanding the economy and trying new marketing techniques. Coming out of this experience, I realize it is ok to be different from others and to study things like art history and other majors offered in the College of Humanities (人文学科)!
The worries most people have about a Humanities degree and finding a career afterwards are that the majors are too abstract, and one will not obtain any applicable skills. Actually ideas discussed in Humanities classes, which are occasionally different from what people commonly believe, offer a broad perspective (视角). How could one effectively be an unbiased (无偏见的) writer with only a knowledge of the popular opinion of society? How could one speak persuasively with closed minds? Only seeing the world through a single perspective leads to missed learning, missed friendships, and missed growth! With a broader perspective, we'll be freer, more open-minded, and less limited in what we can become!
STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) graduates learn actual skills in their studies, while humanities majors learn "soft skills" like communicating effectively through writing critically and speaking persuasively, synthesizing (综合) ideas through gathering and interpreting information, and developing cultural awareness. Do those soft skills sound useless and inapplicable to you? Think of it. How often do you communicate with others? Produce ideas? Encounter people from other cultures? Every day. Every SECOND of every day. So why not master these skills?
If you choose a major in the College of Humanities, you will be needed. The job market is quietly creating thousands of openings a week for people who can bring a humanist's grace to our rapidly evolving high-tech future. Your skills will be valuable to any workplace you hope to be in. Chase after your dream major with all your energy, no matter what other people think.

My teacher Peter Bullock proved that science wasn't boring and made physics great fun. In every lesson he would produce one of those worksheets in purple ink that smelled fresh from the machine. Every sheet contained a poem or a joke and we looked forward to them being handed out. I've kept them all to show to my own children. There was one poem in particular that's stayed in my memory, which went:
In early days Man measured Time By sunrise and sunset sublime;
As well as being able to turn physics into poetry, Peter had energy and passion and conveyed the sense that science was part of the world around you and not a dull boring academic discipline. I'm sure he was sticking pretty much to the standard topics—waves and electricity and so on—but he managed to convert everything into a joke or a story and did so in a clever and imaginative way.
Peter Bullock was not only an exciting teacher, but also the man who founded the debate club in my school. He encouraged me to take part and express myself in a forceful way that I've been doing ever since—and getting paid for it. That made me what I am today—a commercial lawyer.
Peter Bullock taught me throughout my secondary schooling and I took physics, chemistry and maths at A-level. Everyone in his class enjoyed learning. He was inspiring. He turned me on to the idea that the things you are interested in might seem dull on the surface, but you can still excite others. For example, when I tell people I'm interested in law, they may think: "How boring." I guess being a physics teacher is much the same. Peter showed me that what matters is how you convey your own passion so that you excite other people.
