Question

My name is Helen.I come from New York，the USA.Three weeks after my twenty－fourth birthday，I started to work at a children's hospital in California.

When I went to work on the first day，I was happy but a little nervous(緊張的)．I said to myself，“Will the children like me？Can I do the job well？” I didn't know what I should say when I saw the children for the first time.I walked into one of the patients'(病人的) rooms.There were three little boys in the room.They smiled(微笑) at me and said hello to me.Then I felt a little relaxed and said hello to them，too.

During the next two hours，I talked to them and played games with them happily.I found it was not so hard to get on with the children.That day，I talked with a boy called Bruce for a long time.He got a serious illness．I asked him，“Are you happy here？” He answered，“Yes，but I wished I wasn't ill.” He told me that he liked his school and wished to go to school again.I said I would try my best to help him.Luckily，Bruce got well half a year later.Now Bruce is healthy and he goes back to his school.

Now I'm happy to stay with the children and see their happy faces.I really love my job because I can make the children's life better.
