That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.
As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯). Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small square shape.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn’t get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

My dad was the rock of my life. As I was growing up I always knew he was there. He was the type to wait for someone to start a conversation; then he would join in and listen carefully.
I remember and miss those conversations so much. He was always trying to protect my whole family; sometimes I think we mistook him.
My dad began to work in a bank at the age of 23. When he was in his later fifties, he took early retirement. I never thought he would even think of doing that, but he said he wanted a change to start a new company of his own. I understood that. My dad was always working. He hardly ever rested or took a break. He moved to Atlanta from New York where he planned to start a new company. Eight months later I visited my dad for the first time in his new home; he had changed his address, and my wife and I found him in his new home. We found a small house that looked more like a shack(窝棚) on the beach. This was Dad's new house? At the door was a man whose face lit up when he saw us. It was dad... DAD? It couldn't be!
