When I was a little girl，our families would always gather for big meals. Besides the delicious food，I also loved listening to the adults talking about their stories. Some stories are so unforgettable that I still remember them today.
My aunt，Kathy，heard a disabled friend had won a marathon（马拉松）race. She felt motivated（被激励的）and decided to run. The next day，she ran 5 miles. Although it was not easy for a 54-year-old woman，she kept on running.
Edward，my cousin，was a main role in a play for the first time. He experienced a 2-month hard time preparing for it. Hearing people’s applause（掌声），he felt good. What’s more，he realized he could have more fun by trying something new.
My father was deeply moved by a 3-year-old girl on a plane. He saw that the little girl offered all she had，a piece of chocolate，to save a man’s life. He said the girl’s kindness always made him smile.
Wherever life will lead me，these stories always give me inspiration. I have learned that we should love life itself，love ourselves and love the people around us. It is the stories that make my life beautiful and meaningful.
