I have been a reporter for fifteen years． I chose this job so that I could travel the world， but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons．My work is sometimes boring but for most of the time it is amazing and inspiring．

In India， I visited a city． There were many homeless children． Some were young and lived in the streets． But then a lady called Rosa opened a home for them． In one whole year， she was looking after two hundred kids，feeding them，teaching them and giving them hope．

Another time，I was in Japan and met a young girl with a serious illness．After seven operations，she had to have thirteen more in hospital．However，when I met her，she was still smiling．

Here in China， after the terrible Wenchuan Earthquake， I found a three-year old boy named Lang Zheng．He had been in the ruins（廢墟） for more than ten hours before he was found by the soldiers．Though weak and injured，the brave boy lifted his right hand above his head with difficulty and saluted the soldiers to show his thanks，which became the most moving moment in the disaster（災(zāi)難）．

Thanks to the experience as a reporter，I myself am getting braver and stronger．When I face challenges in my life， I always remember the courage（勇氣）of these three people．
