Carly Zalenski's eyes filled with tears as the dusty bus ran down a dirt road in southern Vietnam. The 14-year-old and her family had traveled by plane from Canton, Ohio. Now, as they approached the village, hundreds of cheering schoolchildren lined the entrance to the Hoa Lac School, a two-story concrete building that Carly had raised money for.

　 Carly started helping others at eight, handing out Thanksgiving baskets at church to families in need. It was a snowy day, and she saw many girls didn't have warm coats. The next November, she went door to door asking for used coats, hats, gloves and scarves, and then handed them out with the baskets.

　 But Carly wanted to do more. She remembered her grandmother's Rotarv Club (“扶輪國際”分社) had, years earlier, raised money to build a school in Vietnam. That was what she now wanted to do.

　 At 12, she began to raise money for Vietnamese children with a PowerPoint presentation. "The kids in rural Vietnam don't have decent schools. I want to give them a place to make their lives better," she told a room of 200 Rotarians.

That summer, Carly set off with her family across Ohio, visiting three or four Rotarv Clubs a week. "We traveled like crazy people to all these meetings," recalls her mother, Kris.

　 At first they got no donations. But one night, Carly and her dad, Fred, pulled up to a building in Minerva, Ohio. Carrying a laptop, a projector（幻燈機(jī)）and a screen, they walked into a bar where 15 people were sitting around a long table. There was dead silence after Carly finished her presentation. Fred thought that was never going to work. Then someone made a motion: "Let's give this girl check right now." Minutes later, Carly walked out with her first donation: $500.

　 Not everyone was wild about the idea of helping Vietnam. "Why should we help it?" asked one veteran (老兵). Carly replied simply, "They're kids. And I'm just a kid who wants to help out."

　 As word spread, individual donors sent checks for as little as $5. A restaurant chain contributed $1,000. Carly’s coach organized a tournament that netted $4,000. A bible camp bought 500 backpacks for the children. In two years, Carly raised $50,000.

It happens every day, everywhere I go. At the supermarket and the post office, people keep telling me to enjoy my kids while they are 　31 . I spend my days taking care of them and answering 32 questions about everything from why we have two eyes but one nose to 　33 there are toilets in the heaven. They 　34 me from eating a full meal or getting a full 　35 sleep.

Yet, the other day, when I took my kids to a children’s museum, I began to 　36 what people were trying to tell me. It was the 　37 time we went there without diaper (尿布) bag, baby bottle or stroller (嬰兒車). As I watched my sons paint there, I was suddenly 38 by a wave of 　39 . My babies weren’t babies any more.

Now I’m paying more attention to the 　40 that won’t happen when my kids are 　41 .

I’m enjoying when Christ looked up the sky and cried 　42 , “Wow! The moon!” In a few 　43 , it will take a rare Shrek card or something else to get him that excited. I’m 　44 when Nicholas put down his fork at dinner and asked, “Mommy, how are you doing?” About ten years from now , he 　45__ not care. When they’re in primary school, they won’t want to hold my 　46 any more. In junior high school, they won’t hug me and say, “I love you, too.” In high school, they won’t even want to be 　47 with me.

Pretty 　48 they’ll both be gone. And I’ll 　49 through the supermarket and the post office alone, warning young 　50 to enjoy their kids while they are little. Hope they’ll listen.
