May comes silently and temperature is getting higher. For students, any school stuff in either May or June is regarded as the preparation for their mania and celebration in long-awaited summer holiday. All of us know that, next month is to bring CEE, which seems to pretend as the final game boss, to senior three diligent exam-preparers nationwide. As I'm writing here, I couldn't help recalling the unforgettable time when I was used to stand on the life crossroad.

I remember it was on the day of May when one poor guy's exam performance suddenly fell into valley bottom in the third Citywide Quality Testing Examination. I tried to calm down, but it's hard for a spiritually-exhausted, heavily-pressured student to lay everything down and go ahead with self-confidence which had been gradually eroded by undesired exam results. Only one month left and ideas of giving up even occurred to me before I made a call to mom. Two-hour telephone conservation slipped so fast under mom's continuous comforts and encouragements. At the end of call, mom wished me a good sleep without thinking about anything regarding scores and what's more, she added that, ''Don't be worried with CEE. We can support you studying abroad in case you aren't be admitted to the key university in China and money has been prepared already." In retrospect at present, the last sentence really worked on me. I made it to the end and devoted myself with still heart to the sprint in the remaining days. Eventually and fortunately, I realized my CEE goals by a stroke of luck. 

The day when admission letter came, my mom told me a truth that, she didn't have any financial preparations for my studying abroad and that was just a white lie to alleviate my pressure. Upon hearing this, I asked back,"What if I failed in the last ?" Mom responded," First, your father and I believe that you have the guts and strength to overcome the obstacle. Second, it's not your fault if you failed because we have seen your perspiration and supposing you think of studying abroad, we are always here to back up."

Tomorrow is my mom's birthday, and that could say a flows of words cannot express my love and gratitudes towards her. 

Last but not least, your son strives on being your proud.
