C That day we were learning how to count our fingers. “ I will count my fingers then I will choose someone to count theirs.” After she was done, the whole class picked up their hand except me, so she of course chose me, “ Why don’ t you e on up?” I walked to the front of the class. I lifted my hands “ One, two, three? four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.” “ Oh, I think you counted wrong.” I gave her my hand and she counted. One, two, three, ten, eleven. What? Right then the whole class started to laugh. Thankful the teacher stopped it, I ran to the bathroom crying and my teacher ran after me. When I finally stopped ,she saw I was crying. She said “ Oh honey, having two thumbs(拇指 ) is special, don’ t worry, it will bring you luck.” I went home that day filled with hope that I won’ t be judged(評價 ) by my thumbs. When my mom and dad came home from work, I told them what had happened. They said the same thing that my teacher had said. This strengthened(增強 ) my confidence. My first day in high school was going great. I found a friend soon. She wanted to see my nails(指甲 ) because she thought they looked pretty. When she lifted my left hand and saw the two thumbs, she screamed and backed away, “ Woah! That is so frightening!” All those memories were pouring right back to me. But suddenly my parents and teacher’ s words started ing back to me. I started hearing them say that it is lucky to have two thumbs. I went back and joined all of my new friends again with this new confidence. Now I don’ t really care if people make fun of me. I am a stronger person now and I am not influenced(影響 ) by others that easily. Unlike before, I just go through my day not having to feel bad and actually thinking I’ m lucky to have two thumbs, and unlike others I can count more than ten on my fingers. 52.
