此篇文章創作的緣起：

　　我的英文老師突發奇想，要我寫一篇英文文章，然後刊在校刊上，於是，這篇My Parents Are Here就誕生了，內容紀錄的是學測後的第一階段放榜後，我榜上無名，經過父母的支持，我走過了這一段難熬的日子.......。用字淺顯易懂，畢竟只是個高三生的文章，祝展讀愉快！

　　On the morning of the 19^th March when honor lists of university admission were announced, my name was not there. How shocked I was at that very moment! I thought it might be just a bad nightmare. However it was proved to be true. In fact, I hardly believed the consequence—— I was not admitted to my ideal colleges. To my teacher’s great surprise, she asked how it could be that! I only smiled bitterly, without anything said. After several talks, my teachers told me,” That’s O.K., you will perform better and better in the next examination. You can make it.” However, the sense of loss was still there with my scared and broken heart. Then I stayed at school at 9 o’clock until night classes closed as usual.

　　By the time my dad picked me home, I had no idea how to tell him the awful and horrible news. Yet Dad didn’t ask——until arriving home when Dad gave me encouragement, which was the way he has loved me. I realized he had already known the whole situation. And the next night, receiving a letter from my mom, I was extremely touched with her full love and care. There, she saw what had been inside my heart; she knows I’ll weep alone but smile on appearance in school. On reading the letter, I felt somewhat released; Mom saved me from being drowned in the torrent named” helplessness.”

　　Were it not for my parents, I could not take off the sorrow and pressure and stick to my goal in life. During the tough days, when I was frustrated, still my parents supported me in good stead. I would like to say,” How appreciated I was to my parents and how I love them.”
