At 18 years old I was playing with a handgun and I accidentally shot my friend. I lost my friend and in my view my life was over. At that time I was working for the FBI as a clerk. I was never involved in any sort of criminal behavior but I wasn’t motivated about my life and I was a slacker (懒鬼). Consequently, I was sentenced（宣判） to 8–20 years. I ended up serving 10. But in prison something clicked in terms of being an active participant in my own life and taking ownership of the process. I was always talented academically but I didn’t live up to my potential. I began to read everything I could get my hands on. I went to every academic program. I attended them many times in the years that followed. When college was offered in prison through Saint Francis College of Loretto, I was one of the first students to attend. I ended up graduating with an Associate Degree with honors. Through education, I learned what I wanted my life to be. It’s funny how things work.
But when I was released from prison, I went further. I applied to NYU and was accepted. I graduated from NYU with BS with top honors. I didn’t stop there though. I went on and earned my MSW with distinction from NYU as well. I’m now a practicing social worker in NYC and every day I give back to society in positive ways. Many of my friends would no doubt be shocked to learn of my imprisonment and I often wonder would they understand. In many ways much of my life is a secret and it’s a burden that I have to bear. But it’s mine to bear and I take full responsibility. I use it to help others realize their dreams and goals and honor my friend’s memory.
I know there’re many others like me who made mistakes in their lives that set them way off course from their expectations and hopes for themselves. You can make the life you dream of. It’s never too late to make a new start and reclaim your life. Someone once told me that no matter what happens morning will come and you’ll see the sunshine. I’m bathing in the sunlight.
Never give up.

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. So when there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
   There is a strong chance of short circuits and fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
   During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases (楼梯) at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in ruins, cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子)if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may bum yourself.

A. the damage caused by earthquakes
B. the rescue work after earthquakes
