The new class of students has signed up again. The dragon came from a remote township, with thin eyes, thick lips, no extra words, and a typical rural child's appearance. Soon after entering school, he showed that he was different from other students, one was that he listened to lectures and did his homework very seriously; second, he always walked last whether he was out of school at noon or in the afternoon; third, the clothes he wore were always one size smaller.

As his homeroom teacher, I learned from one of his weekly notes that his father only gave him 100 yuan last month, worried that he would not have enough to eat, and he wrote in the weekly notes: "Although I only used 90 yuan a month, I could not eat whatever I wanted like other students, but I could still eat enough." Thinking that my father is earning hard money outside and saving every penny, I have no reason to compare with other students, only to study better, to go to a good school in the future, to repay my father's efforts to me, to change the fate of our family..."

After reading his weekly notes, I found the dragon and learned about his family's situation. The mother has disabled hands and is unable to take care of herself. My father was envious of the fact that many people had made a lot of money when they went out to work, but he couldn't leave the house because he had to take care of his mother. As a result, the family depended solely on the father's farm work to survive. Now, after Long went to middle school, he left home to board the school, and the tuition and miscellaneous expenses for one semester were more than a thousand, plus accommodation and living expenses, which became a heavy burden for this poor family. Therefore, the father made up his mind and entrusted his mother to Long's elderly grandfather and grandmother, and also went out to work. However, my father had been farming at home and taking care of the whole family, had never learned any craftsman work, and could only go out to sell his strength, and he could not earn a few dollars. The weekly chronicle of the dragon is the impression that his father wrote after he went out to work and wrote him his first letter.

After learning that Long was a special hardship student, I applied for subsidies from the school on his behalf, but it was only a hundred yuan a semester, and I was paid a cup of water. Later, I called the class committee and told them about the dragon's situation, asking them to give the dragon a little help. The class committee unanimously agreed to mobilize the students in the class to donate a little of their living expenses and support the dragon on the premise of voluntariness. This is a very good idea, the whole class of sixty people, one person one dollar, for the average student, is a popsicle money, and for the dragon, this number is astronomical. After the decision was made, I thought of another question, so I put it forward for the class committee to discuss: "Will the dragon be embarrassed to accept everyone's funding for the sake of face?" ”

After all, the time spent with the students is still short, and the class committee does not know. And I did meet such a student, originally saw that he was not eating well, not warm, hoping to help him, but the student insisted that he was living well, there was no difficulty, do not have to worry about everyone. Obviously, he does not want to "lose face". So, I proposed to the class committee members: "The dragon's difficulties are certain, but we must think of a way to make him accept help calmly." ”

Through the discussion of the class committee, everyone said that he would let him manage the doors and windows of the classroom, and the donation to him was said to be the labor fee given to him by the classmates. It was a good idea, and I agreed. I don't want to directly intervene in this matter, let the classmates come forward to preside, I hope that good things will not become bad things that hurt his self-esteem.

The funding activity was immediately responded to by the students, and the first time they quickly received donations of more than 60 yuan. The donation campaign is carried out on the back of the dragon. When the class leader gave the money to The Dragon and explained the intentions of the classmates to him, unexpectedly, the Dragon did not have half a prevarication, and he nodded his head vigorously to let him manage the doors and windows. Later, among the students who cleaned up after school every day, there were always dragons participating. Everyone can imagine that the dragon is giving more rewards to the students by increasing the way of serving everyone.

The funded dragon still didn't say much, the class was still so concentrated, and the homework was still so serious and rigorous. The only thing that changed was that his youthful face seemed to be much looser. At this time, I felt that the previous fear of hurting his self-esteem was completely superfluous, and his calmness made me feel my own fear of knowing people and judging things. Later events made me admire the dragon's cute and shining character.

That's when I learned that the Youth League Committee had conducted a fundraising campaign, and most of the clothes donated by teachers and students were still in a safe room of the school. Seeing the dragon's ill-fitting clothes, I went to the teacher of the Youth League Committee and asked to choose a few suitable and decent clothes for the dragon among those clothes. My request was granted. I took the dragon to the storage room and let him choose for himself. The dragon searched in the large pile of cluttered clothes, one coat, the other a pair of pants, and he looked for a school bag and a pair of sneakers. I was very happy to see the dragon looking for suitable clothes for himself without hesitation, and I was no longer worried about the harm this action would bring to his self-esteem. Later, he actually grabbed a red women's dress and looked at it, and I thought he didn't see that it was a women's dress, so I said to him, "This is a women's dress, look for it again." ”

But he said to me, "This dress is for my mother, it must be appropriate." Suddenly, my nose was sour, my eyes were wet, and my heart was saying, "Child, in you have fulfilled the saying that 'the children of the poor have long been home'!" Touched, I said, "You can choose for your father again and see if there is a suitable one." With that, I leaned down and looked and picked with him, and we put the clothes we had chosen into our bags and put two pairs of shoes in a plastic pocket, which he carried on his back, and I carried them, and walked back. After going downstairs, I was afraid that he would take it back to the classroom and the classmates would ask him about this and that, and I said to him: "Put things in my office, come and get them when school is over!" But he said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just put it in the classroom and stop bothering the teacher." When he returned to the classroom, it was recess, and he strode calmly and put the bag of clothes and shoes on the windowsill, without the slightest hesitation.

Later, in the liberal arts class, he was no longer in my class. But I always pay attention to his life and study, listening to the teacher and other students say that his study is always so hard, and life is always so tight, but in any case, he is always so enthusiastic about the big and small affairs in the class. Three years later, he was admitted to a major in journalism at a major university with honors.
