12．I'm a seventeen-year-old boy preparing for my A Level exams at the end of the year.In the society where my peers （同龄人） and I live，we tend to accept the rat race values.As students，we want to get good grades so that we can get good jobs.I enjoy studying and have consistently received A's in my classes.There was a year when I finished first in my class in the final exams.It was a great accomplishment.
Another one I am pleased with is that I managed to improve the relationship between Mum and Dad.Dad was a successful businessman who was rarely at home.Mum was a housewife who always felt bored and constantly nagged （唠叨） him to let her go to work.Their constant arguing bothered me，so I advised Dad that Mum would be better off with a part-time job.He agreed，and their relationship has improved since then.
My most proud achievement，however，is my successful work in the local old folks' home.My grandparents had raised me since I was a child.I wept （哭泣） bitterly when they died.Unlike many of my classmates，I do not take part in my school's community service to earn points.I enjoy my voluntary work and believe I'm contributing to a worthwhile cause.This is where I can help.I talk to the elderly，assist them with their daily life，and listen to their problems，glory days and the hardships they experienced.
Last year，I hosted a successful New Year party for the elderly and they enjoyed a great time.Many expressed a desire to attend another party the following year.When I reflect on my accomplishments，I'm especially proud of my service at the old folks' home，so I hope to study social work at university and work as a social worker in the future.I wish to be more skilled in attending to the less fortunate as well as find great satisfaction in it，after all.
