I grew up in one of the poorest areas in Bradford. I live in a three-bedroom house with six brothers and sisters. I studied very hard . I got the best results in the history of the school. Other students would be happy with receiving such results. Their parents would give them an MP5 player as a prize or take them for a trip. What about me? In fact it made me sad. It was because my application(申請(qǐng))to Imperial College London didn’t pass. It is my dream to study medicine there.
I know that nothing in life is easy. I won’t give up. I will apply again the following year. While some students are traveling during the holiday, I am working hard.  I help the doctors look after sick people in a hospital . I believe I must become a doctor one day.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city．The building next door was only a few feet away from mine．There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met，yet I could see her sitting by her window each afternoon，sewing（縫紉）and reading．

After several months had gone by，I began to notice that her window was dirty．Everything was unclear through the dirty window．I would say to myself，"Why doesn’t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible．"

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat，including cleaning the window

Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning．I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest．What a surprise! Across the way，the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen．Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me．I had been criticizing（批評(píng)）her dirty window，but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window．

That was quite an important lesson for me．How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings（缺點(diǎn)）?

　　The next morning I got up very early. It was dark and everyone was asleep. But I was going to Darpur.

　　I washed and dressed carefully. I put on my best clothes and carried my best stick. I put the money order carefully in my pocket and said goodbye to Martha.

　　I walked ten miles to the main road. I sat down at the main road and ate my breakfast.

　　I waited for the bus for about two hours. The bus came and I got on.

　　It is a long way to Darpur. The bus takes three hours. I arrived in Darpur and walked to the post office directly. I don't often go to Darpur. I only know the market, and one shop. This is the shop of Rick. I buy things for my farm from Rick.

　　There were a lot of people in the post office. I asked about money orders. A man showed me the queue. There was a long line of people and I waited at the back.

　　Finally it was my turn：I was at the front of the queue. But the man at the desk took no care of me.

　　“Excuse me,” I said. “It's my turn. I'm next.”

　　“You are next? Old man, I'm very busy,” the man said. “Look at my papers. Look at all these people. I am very busy. And you must wait.”

　　So I waited. Finally the man looked at me.

　　“What do you want?”

　　I gave him my money order. “This is my money order for one hundred pounds,” I replied.

　　The man held out his hand. “ID Card,” he said.

　　“Excuse me. I don't understand. What is an ID Card?” I replied.

　　“Your ID Card gives your name and your address. Your ID Card describes you. There is a photo of you in your ID Card. I can't give you any money for this money order if you don't show me your ID Card.”

　　“But I don't have an ID Card. Where can I buy one?” I asked.

　　The man did not speak to me. He gave no answer, And I didn't know what to do then.
