western Pennsylvania. Surrounded by miles of winding stone walls, the house and the barn provided endless

hours of fun for a city kid like me.

I can still remember one afternoon when I was eight years old. Since my first visit to the farm, I had

wanted more than anything to be allowed to climb the stone walls. My parents would never agree with me.

The walls were old. Some stones were missing and others were loose and crumbling. Still, my wishing for

climbing those walls grew so strong that, one spring afternoon, I finally gathered all my courage and entered

the living room.

“I, uh…. I want to climb the stone walls,” I said hesitantly. Everyone looked up. “Can I climb the stone

walls?” Suddenly, a chorus (齐声) went up from the women in the room. “Heavens, no!” They shouted.

“You’ll hurt yourself!” I wasn’t too disappointed because the response was just as I had expected. But before

I left the room, I was stopped by my grandfather’s loud voice. “Now hold on just a minute,” I heard he said,

“Let the boy climb the stone walls. He has to learn to do things for himself.”

“Be careful. Come and see me when you get back.” For the next two and a half hours I climbed those

old walls and had the time of my life. Later I met my grandfather and told him about my climbing. I’ll never

forget what he said. “Fred.” he said. “You made this day a special day just by being yourself. Always

remember, there’s only one person in this whole world like you and I like you exactly as you are.”

I have lived in Lawndale for thirty years. I have seen many things change. Some have been the better

and some for the worse. My neighborhood is a good one. I have friends here and my family lives here. My

mother’s home is two blocks away. My cousins live down the street.

Progress starts with hope. That’s something I learned a long time ago. You can look at things and

complain. Or you can ask, “What can we do to make things better?”

My son came home from school in August with a plan. It was a plan his class made. They were going to

turn a vacant lot (闲置地皮) into a garden. I said it would be a lot more work than he knew.

He had a dream. He wanted to have a lot of flowers in Lawndale. He said, “If we turn the vacant lot

across fromm the school into a garden, it will show everyone how much we care. And then more people will

plant flowers and trees, so the community will get to be a really beautiful place.”

I admired my son’s idea. He has always been a thoughful child. I said we would help.

He class started by clearing out the trash (垃圾) from the lot. They needed lots of trash bags for that
