The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism，but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried，and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad，and saw no end to “the hard times”． My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with immigration(移民) officers，took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles finally go away! My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I believe that my life will turn out all right，even though it will not be that easy.
