B
I was filled with worries until my grandfather told me to stand tall.
For me, height was my trouble. I was much taller than other girls, so I often bent(弯曲)my body at the back of the line. I had always felt unsafe as the tallest student of my class. I wasn’t looking forward to entering the ninth grade.
Whenever I tried to bend myself in order to appear shorter, my grandfather would tell me, “Stand straight and tall, Alisa.” I trusted my grandfather more than anyone else in my childhood.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn(战乱的)Europe. “Stand straight, and stand tall” meant something else then. After the war, he went to America. He lived a hard life. “If they could do it, why couldn’t I? Stand straight, and stand tall!” he often reminded himself. Thanks to the help of a friend, my grandfather got a job. He once told me that he was very nervous at first. He was trying not only to begin this hard new job but also to learn a new language. “Stand straight, and stand tall!” he would always tell himself. I am so proud of my grandfather. After listening to my grandfather’s unusual experiences, I have changed the way I look at my own life.
“Stand straight, and stand tall” has become not only a piece of advice to improve my posture(姿势). It also tells me to be proud of who I am.
And I do.
