Alexander is an elementary school student. In the morning, he woke up and found that the gum which he forgot to spit the last night was in his hair and the sweater he was going to wear was dropped in the sink. Besides, when eating breakfast, he didn’t find anything but cereal in his cereal box in contrast to his two brothers. Then, he began to think that he was going to have a terrible, not good, bad day.
Things just went on as he thought in the morning. In the school bus, he sat between other students and was squeezed. In school, no matter what he did, his teachers were dissatisfied. Moreover, his best friend, Paul, said that Alexandra wasn’t his best friend anymore. All the things made him think that he was going to have a terrible, horrible, very bad day. However, one good thing happened to him when he felt disappointed. The most popular girl, Jenny who has big blue eyes and curly blond hair came to him; she seemed to be shy. ” What a cute girl!” Alexander thought. Then the girl gave Alexander a pink letter, kissing him in the face quickly, and ran away. Alexander was stunned; he blushed immediately. He unfolded the letter and it was written: I have adored you for a long time; can you be my best friend? Feeling ecstatic, he went into the classroom with a big smile on his face.
In lunch time, bad things happened again. His classmates all had a dessert in their lunch box except Alexandra. He started to feel disappointed. While he lowered his head, eating his lunch, suddenly he heard someone calling his name. He then stood up and looked out the classroom. To his surprise, it was his mom that stood by the door. She carried a chocolate cake for Alexander. Full of happiness, Alexander changed his mind and thought that things didn’t go bad as he earlier thought.
After school, he went home. He stood by the door, waiting for his mom to drive him to the dentist. When he was looking around, he saw something sparkling on the ground. It was a beautiful diamond. Meanwhile, his mom ran into the garden nervously, looking for something in a flurry. Alexander took out the diamond and asked her mom whether she was looking for it. To his astonishment, his mom shouted out and gave him a big hug. Sighed with relief, Alexander’s mom thanked him and decided to buy the video game which Alexander had longed for.
A day passed. In the bed, the boy continued to think about what had happened today. Things went from bad to good. He was glad that he changed his thought in the afternoon because the positive attitude made him lucky the rest of the day. He thought that if he still held the negative thinking, he would be more unlucky. Therefore, he decided to be optimistic all the time; he believed that only by holding the right attitude can he leave unlucky things away.
Hi, my friend Dora, I was quite shocked when I read your story of Alexander because most of the classmates change it into a worse one which is different from yours. However, truly speaking, I prefer yours as it gives readers a happier atmosphere while reading. Except some spelling errors, I think your essay is fine and fluent and well organized. Still, I suggest that you can put more details to each process of bad things to good things that would probably make your readers clearly feel amazing just like Alexander did. By the way, the life philosophy you give in the end of the story is positive and optmistic and I love it. It's really a good time to read your story!
