I looked up and met her smiling eyes. Although I only replied“thank you”, it turned sunny in my heart. When I got home, I rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror.

People always look at me in surprise. “You must be good at basketball,” my classmates at primary school always said that. Now at junior high, my classmates say the same. In fact, I’m not good at basketball at all. But being tall is not always bad. It makes me easy to recognise, and I can help others reach things down.
