"when I was young I would like to listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite songs...", this "yesterday once more" always gives me most cherished memories in my life. I want to be an resposible, warm-heart, brave, and confident person, and I keep trying to do my best for myself, my family, and my country. However, I am not perfect and made a lot of mistakes before. If I could go back to some time and place in the past, I would definitely go to these places to do better: 
When I was in Grade 5, my 75-year-old grandmother lived with us. She cannot see very well at that time, but she insisted to write letters to my uncle, her eldest son, who lived far away from us. Because she even didn't finish her elementary school. Honestly, her hand-writing was too terrible to let my uncle and others understand, but nobody told her about that. I knew my uncle would not read her letters according to my parents' words. I thought it would be honest to point out, so I told her about the awfully writing. Her heart was broken. She thought she was cheated by the whole family. With tears in her poor eyes, she told me that,she tried so hard to write these letters with shaking hands and worse eyes, but they didn't read it, and it seemed nobody care about it. After two days, she was sick, and she died two months later. I felt I did the worst thing in the world. Even today it is still hard for me to tell the impact of my honest. If I could go back to that moment I would tell her, everybody like to read her letters, and we all love her very much. I think that is not a lie, but a conmmunication skill. When the bike-chain is rusty, we put some oil in it. Kind people say something untrue to let other persons feel better, such as comforting the panic friends. Time teaches us lessons of life. I don't want to leave a lot of regrets for it. I remember when I took a bus to my friend's house, I saw a mid-age man stole an old lady's wallet, but I was too afraid to say a word. If I could go back to there, I would tell that man to stop bravely. The world needs more just people to make it better. If nobody say "no" to these things, could you imagine how the world would be?
