For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls, I often bent（ 彎曲） my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class in Bala Cynwyd. And I wasn't looking forward to entering the ninth grade.

My grandfather didn't laugh at me. Instead, whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, he would tell me "Stand straight and tall, Alisa. "I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood. And whenever I was afraid of something, he always told me stories of his life.

My grandfather grew up in war﹣torn（戰(zhàn)亂的） Europe. " Stand straight, stand tall "meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life, "If they could do it， why couldn't I？""Stand straight, stand tall, "he often reminded（提醒） himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first． He was not only trying to learn this hard new job but also a new language.

"Stand straight, stand tall, " he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather’s unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.
