My Brother
My brother is off at college, and at age 14, I miss him terribly. My brother is a rare kind of guy. He’s smart and kind. And my friends say he’s lovely. But it's how he handles things and how he treats his friends and his family that make me feel more proud.
He applied to 14 colleges. He was accepted by all but one, the one he wanted, Brown University. So he took his second choice, and off he went to a first year. When he came home for summer vacation, he said he’d move to Rhode Island near Brown, find a job, and do whatever he could to become known in the area. He’d work his heart out and do his best at everything. Someone, he was sure, would notice. This was a big deal for my parents as it meant agreeing to a year without college. But they trusted him and encouraged him to do whatever he thought it would take to realize his dream.
It wasn’t long before he was hired as an amateur(业余的) play director at Brown. Now was his chance to shine, and he did. He put every bit of himself into the job. He meet teachers and school officials, talked to everyone about his dream and never hesitated to tell them what he was after.
And, sure enough, at the end of the year, when he reapplied to Brown, he was accepted. We were all happy, but for me the happiness went very deep. I had learned an important lesson—a lesson no one could have taught me with words. If I work hard for what I want, and if I keep trying after I’ve been turned down, my dreams can also come true. This is a gift I still hold in my heart.

【文章大意】我的兄弟
我哥哥在14岁上大学，我非常想念他。我哥是个少见的人。他聪明又善良。我的朋友说他很可爱。但让我感到更加自豪的是他处理事情的方式以及他对待朋友和家人的方式。
他申请了14所大学，除了想去的布朗大学之外，他被其他所有学校录取了。所以他选择了第二顺位，然后就去了第一年。当他暑假回家时，他说他会搬到布朗附近的罗德岛，找一份工作，并尽他所能在该地区出名。他会全力以赴做好每一件事。他确信有人会注意到的。这对我的父母来说意义重大，因为这意味着同意一年不上大学。但他们信任他，并鼓励他去做他认为实现梦想所需的一切。
不久之后，他被布朗聘为业余戏剧导演。现在是他发光的机会，他做到了。他把自己的每一点都投入到工作中。他会见了老师和学校官员，与所有人谈论他的梦想，并毫不犹豫地告诉他们他的追求。
果然，在年底，当他重新申请布朗大学时，他被录取了。我们都开心，但我特别开心。我学到了重要的一课——没有人能用言语教给我的一课。如果我为我想要的而努力，如果我在被拒绝后继续努力，我的梦想也可以实现。这是一份我至今仍珍藏在心的礼物。
