Recalling my freshman year and first year of drama group, I remember the people I met, and how I soon felt like they all were family. One I greatlywas Christy Hauser, mainly because of her unbelievable ambition to help people. At Christmas I participated in a present-wrapping party for children who would otherwise not have gifts. Christythis and was so persuasive in motivating other students. She was only 15, but found time to help others, earn outstandingand manage the make-up department for our drama group. The next year I was shocked to hear through Christy’s efforts, the drama department was going to try to$90, 000 for a former schoolmate named Robin who was suffering from cystic fibrosis(囊肿性纤维化). The mostpart of her decision to help Robin was that Christy hadmet her! At our first drama meeting Christy gave everyone a piece of paper and asked us to write to talk-show host Rosie to try to gain her; Christy received over 100 letters, but that wasn’t. She told us we needed to keep writing. Christy put all the letters in envelopes, stamped them, and made sure they were sent. Then one cold evening late in October, I gave one of my closest drama friends, Emily, ato see if she wanted to do something. I was surprised when she answered the phone crying. Shethat Christy Hauser had died in a car accident that evening. I had left rehearsal(排练)too early to hear about the. With the phone still to my ear, I stood still as I remembered all the miraculousshe had organized. The next morning I looked into those eyes around me and was comforted by the fact that despite losing a great person, Christy’s heart was too strong to ever truly stop giving.
