Maria was a teacher in my high school.I still remember the first time I saw her.It was in the ninth grade.We met on a stage（舞臺(tái)）design team for a play and she was one of the directors.She had an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking.For some reason，she then made a deep impression on me.
Maria would ask me for my opinion.She wanted to know how I thought we should deal with things.At first，I had no idea how to answer because I knew nothing about stage design.But I slowly began to respond to her questions.It was cause and effect：She believed me and encouraged me.So I began to form opinions and completed things perfectly.Most importantly，I began to believe in myself.
Maria's motto （格言） was， "Try it.We can always paint over it later！" I began to take risks （冒險(xiǎn)）.I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing -- only things to be improved.With her help，I learned to dip my brush into the paint and create something with great confidence.
The shy，quiet starter achieved success that year.I was selected into the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in.It was that year that I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage design team with the Maria changed me completely.I not only believed in myself，but also caught opportunities.She taught me not to care what people think I should do.She taught me to take chances and not be afraid.Maria was such a great teacher.
