Hope Beyond the River
For most people, graduation is an exciting day, but my graduation day was not.
I remember that weekend two years ago. Family and friends had flown in from across the country to watch the celebration. But just like everyone else in my class, I had watched the economy turn from bad to worse in my fourth year of university. Almost all of us graduates had degrees, but very uncertain future.
The weeks ahead weren’t easy. I knew my small university town couldn’t offer me any opportunities, so I packed up my things and drove to Southern California to find work. But what I thought would take a week lasted for two weeks, and then four, and 100 job applications later, I found myself in the exact same situation as I was in before.
You know that feeling when you wake up in fear I feel constant (持续不断的) fear in my life. Days felt like weeks, weeks like months, and those many months felt like everlasting pain. And the most annoying part was no matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t seem to make any progress.
So what did I do to keep my good sense I decided to write. Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter. Something about writing gave me hope. And if you want something badly enough, sometimes a little hope is all you need!
I put my dissatisfaction into a children’s book. Beyond the River is the story of an unlikely hero, a little fish, who refused to give up his dream.
And then one day, without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world – just a lot of hard work and determination - I was offered a publishing contract for my first book! After that, things slowly began to fall into place. I was offered a second book deal. Then, a few months later, I got an interview with the Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
Never giving up is the key to success. Even if things look tough now, don’t give up. Besides, you should work hard. In this way, things will always get better. Often times our dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream. All we need is the courage to push beyond the river.

Dear Mr. Wang,
I am Li Hua, a student from Grade Nine. I’m writing to share some suggestions during the school’s proposal collection activity.
First, the quality of lunch needs to be improved. Sometimes the dishes are not warm enough, and the variety is limited. I’d like to suggest adding one more food window and updating the menu weekly. This will not only shorten the waiting time but also meet different tastes of students.
Second, the burden of homework is a bit heavy. We often stay up late to finish it, which affects our next day’s study. Perhaps teachers could assign layered homework based on students’ abilities. It allows us to learn efficiently without too much pressure.
Thank you for providing such a good platform and all the care for us. I hope our school will become better and better in the future.
Your sincerely,
Li Hua
