My Boxing Experience
This year I joined boxing class. My friend Lea and I were the only 11 in the class.
We got to throw our first punches (拳击) and learned how we should stand. I still didn’t know how to do it well, but I felt that choosing the boxing class was the right decision. Mr. Vernon, our boxing teacher, made us work hard and sweat. The boxing pads (拳击护具) were my favorite, but my punches weren’t 12 enough.
After participating in more practices, we had learned how to punch in six different ways. The boys were improving a lot on their strength, and Lea with her speed, and me? Well, I had a hard time seeing the 13 . Mr. Vernon would always tell me that practice would make me stronger, and this is what helped motivate me to 14 .
Each practice there was at least one boy who would 15 me and say, “Oh you’re too short to box. Mr. Vernon has to 16 down when you are on the boxing pads; oh you’re not strong enough; you punch like a mouse.”
I know those comments were not to 17 me, but just to have fun. It’s true, I’m a small and short person and I did lack confidence; but hearing those comments can either bring you 18 , or make you feel motivated to show them they are 19 . In my case, they started to discourage me. I didn’t have the strength to think they were wrong, and a part of me thought that they were speaking the 20 . I hid it inside my heart because I thought that showing that I was 21 myself would make it worse.
I remember one particular practice where I was mad and angry, and my punches suddenly felt stronger and faster. I was 22 , yet I had a feeling in me that it was there all along. I just didn’t have that 23 in me. After practice, Mr. Vernon pointed out that I was getting stronger and better, which really made me feel more 24 and showed me that what the others were saying about me was wrong. I had 25 found the strength I needed. The following practices, Mr. Vernon was impressed with my hooks and uppercuts, because they were getting 26 .
This experience taught me that boxing requires a lot of work and effort, but it also taught me not to feel 27 about what people say. If you focus on your strong points and improve on your 28 ones, there is no reason for you to feel disappointed. Boxing taught me how to fight, and defend myself physically and mentally, and show that short girls can do anything if they have the 29 to prove people wrong. Being short doesn’t 30 me and

Crispo told TODAY’s Kerry Sanders that he had come to the 24-hour restaurant from a friend’s birthday party and saw the struggling employee, identified only as Ben, trying to cook the food, serve it, bus tables and wash dishes while more than 25 people were waiting to eat.
“The look on his face was just confusion,” Crispo told Sanders.
An unidentified male customer then decided to help him out, grabbing an apron and going behind the counter to wash dishes.
Another customer, Alison Stanley, went behind the counter to make some coffee—still dressed from a night out on the town.
“I don’t think it’s anything special,” Stanley told Sanders. “He needed help, so I got up and helped out.”
Crispo took some photos of the scene as multiple customers worked to bus tables and wash
