C
When I was a boy， I had the craziest bus ride to school every day.
First I had to get up early， eat my breakfast and walk across a wooden bridge. Then I waited for the bus to arrive. When it got there， I climbed in. I was always one of the first ones on the bus. Even though I lived only four miles from school， my bus ride would last about 45 minutes!
First the bus went in the opposite direction for six miles， parked and waited for another bus， which we would then board. The new bus started up a long mountain road， stopping at every house to pick up more children. Finally， it arrived at the high school to drop off the older children before going to my school. It didn't go straight there， but instead went down another road to pick up even more children. I usually got to school just before the first class bell rang.
Luckily， the ride home was different. This time， the children who were picked up last were the first to be dropped off. Since my house was along the way， I got dropped off after just 10 minutes or so. I remember I would run across that old bridge because I was so happy to be home again.
Looking back now， I can see my whole life here has been one long bus ride. It has been full of stops， starts， twists（曲折）and turns. Some of the passengers are mean（吝啬的）， but most are kind. Sometimes the road has been smooth(平坦的)， and at other times it has been hard. Through it all， though， I know that one day I will be going home again. Try your best to enjoy the ride this life gives you.
