柠檬茶，送给孤独的你(Lemon Tea For The Lonely You)

"不"完美的你 ( The "Not" Perfect You )

       "It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light."-Aristotle Chassis

      我又把数学考试考砸了。已经不是第一次了，但是这一整个学期，我都把每一个数学考试考砸。我最好的成绩离"A" 也就是80分。但是那个还是一个特别简单的测试而已。我从来都不知道怎么把事情搞好。我没有赢比赛，我的教练也从来没有认真的看我。我看着那些比较完美的女孩们走过去。娜塔莉在里面。

娜塔莉是一个特别善良，特别完美，简直是一个天才。她每一次都有拿很好的成绩，她的教练也特别看好她。娜塔莉感觉就是特别完美。每个人都喜欢她，她人也特别善良，然后她的成绩从来都没有一个"B"。

    今天是第一天在约翰逊老师的班里。她的班总是最好玩的。她教你怎么做饭，怎么烤东西，然后也有教你一些厨房里面的东西。当我走了进去，我看到了娜塔莉坐在教室前面。 当约翰逊老师教我们怎么做松饼,我们一边笔记。今天是第一天，所以她就稍微的讲了讲厨房里的餐具。我把我还没有烤的松饼放到了烤箱里面。我希望，会很好。

那10分钟，我等着松饼烤完。我试着把那配料混合好。然后我把巧克力片在每一个地方放，这样才变得好。当10分钟到了，我把就松饼拿了出来。老师注意到了我，因为我是第一个做完的。她对我点了点头，然后说，" 很好啊，梅利莎! 你做特别好!"  那边有2个松饼，所以老师拿了一个然后吃了。" 好吃!" 老师对我笑了，然后拍了拍我的背。刚刚好， 娜塔莉也烤好了。

   约翰逊老师走到了她身边，然后试了试她的松饼。" 把配料混合的再好一点，这样应该会好的." 娜塔莉点了点头，还有带着一个微笑。

当你觉得你要失败了，一直试。不要觉得你没有用，因为每个人都有自己擅长的东西。每个人都有一个地方去闪耀。每个人都是不完美的，你也不要觉得你什么事都会做的好。可能，你在一方面，你做的并不好。但是还是有很多方面你可以做很好的。当你做你自己，你就是完美的。如果你觉得你可以，你就可以。

 I failed the math test again. Not just once, but the whole school year, I failed every math test. The close grade I did to become an "A" was an 80. But that was totally a pop quiz. I never know how to do things correct. I didn't win the competition, and my coach never looks at me straight in the face. I watch the perfect girls walk by. Natalie is with them. 

   Natalie is a super sweet, talented, perfect girl. She always has good grades, and her coach always feels proud of her. Natalie is like so perfect. Everyone likes her, she's nice, and her grades never been to a "B". 

     Today is our first day in Mrs. Johnson's class. Her class is like the funniest. She teaches you how to cook, bake, and utensils. As I walked in, I saw Natalie seated in the front. While Mrs. Johnson teaches us how to make muffins, we take notes.  It was the first day, so she didn't really tell us more into utensils. I put my unbaked muffin into the oven. And I hope it would turn out good.

   I wait for the 10-minute bake. I made sure I mix the ingredients well. And I put the chocolate chips everywhere so that it would turn out good. As the 10-minute timer is up, I toke it out of the oven. The teacher caught my attention because I was the first one done. She nodded at me and said, " Very well, Melissa. You are very good at this." There were 2 muffins, and she takes one and eats it.  "Delicious!" She smiled at me and pat my back.  That time, Natalie's was finished baking. 

     Mrs. Johnson walked up to her and tried her muffin. "Mix the ingredients better, and it should be okay." Natalie nodded, with a smile on her face.

When you think you are failing, keep trying. Do not think you are useless because everyone is talent at certain things. Everyone has a place to shine. Everyone is not perfect, and you don't have to think you must have to be good at everything. Maybe you are not good at something, but there has to be something you are good at. You are perfect the way you are. Think you can, and you will.
