Fear (恐惧) is a normal and healthy feeling—although it doesn’t make you feel good. If you are scared because you are in real danger, you need to face that fear and act on it, for example, run away from the angry tiger that is going after you and shout for help.
Anxiety (焦虑) is usually fear in the wrong place. You can feel anxious (焦虑的) about something that hasn’t happened or might not happen. 22
★Say it out loud.
23 It usually helps to get things out. They may be able to help you draw up a good plan for solving your anxiety.
★Breathe
Breathe in deeply (深深地) for 3-5 seconds, and out slowly for 3-5 seconds. 24 Some people like to draw a square or a star while they are doing that. It’s also a great and helpful way to help calm (平静) your mind.
★Making a calming bottle (瓶子).
Put some shiny things, water or clear glue in a bottle and put the cap back on the bottle. Shake it and imagine that’s how your thoughts look when you are worried. Watch how everything goes after a few minutes—everything in the bottle stays calm. Try shaking your calming bottle when you are upset, and calm down as it does.

I’m lucky to have some wonderful teache rs. One who stands out for me is Blanche Caffiere, a kind librarian(图书馆理员) and teacher I first met when I was in the fourth grade. Mrs. Caffiere died in 2006. Before she passed away, I thanked her for the important role she played in my life.
When I first met Mrs. Caffiere, she was a beautiful librarian who worked in View Ridge Elementary, and I was a shy fourth grader. I was trying to go unnoticed, because I couldn’t write a good hand and keep my desk clean and tidy. I was also trying to hide the fact that I liked reading. That thing was cool for girls but not for boys.
Mrs. Caffiere helped make it okay for me to be myself. She shared her love of books with me. At the same time, she started asking questions like, “What do you like to read?” and “What are yo u interested in?”. Then she gave me a lot of books—biographies (人物传记), for example—that were more difficult than the books I was reading at the time. After I read them, she would discuss them with me. She seriously listened to what I had to say. Through those book conversations in the library and in the classroom, we became good friends.
Looking back on it now, there’s no question like my time with Mrs. Caffiere helped excite my interest in libraries. That time has also made me want to help every child in A merica. It’s important to learn how much power (力量) one good person can have in shaping the life of a child.
