A man will meet countless people in his life. In the boundless huge crowd， I can come across Frank， my English teacher， which is really my good fortune. I love him beyond words. Its my honor to be his subject representative， during which time I learn a lot from him inadvertently.

When enough time has gone by to enable me to look back on the past， I recall a day in Franks office. It was just that day that Frank gave me a valuable lesson in my whole life. There would be a weekly exam， so examination papers were required to be counted in advance. Frank asked me to help him count the examination papers. Confronted with piles of papers on the side cabinet， I drew my breath deeply. I was just getting started， and another English teacher happened to be standing next to us. Theres no doubt that she witnessed everything that had just happened.

At that moment， she said to Frank， “That seems not to be a good idea. After all， its still an exam.”

“I trust my students.”

Hardly had Franks voice faded away， it felt like the whole world was silent. It was a crisp answer， without hesitation. Brief， but it hit my heart.

I stood behind him. From his profile， I saw his eyes were filled with determination and confidence.

“Just do it.” He smiled to me. I froze for a moment before I regained my composure to do the work in my hand. Surely， I quickly counted the examination papers without even a peep. Minutes later， upon finishing my work， I went out of the office， but Franks voice was still ringing in my ears and I felt my blood boil instantly.

No matter what we do， we ought to have a clear conscience. Whats more， trusting a person might give him or her endless power. I appreciate Franks trust in me so much. And Ill store the story in the treasure chest of my memory forever.
