The telephone rang in my ninth-grade high school classroom. “Jenny, please come to the guidance office!” As I walked down the hall, I thought about why. To my joy, I was told that I was not in trouble and that just someone needed to talk with me. I was called because I was a member of the Breakfast Club (B.C.).

The Breakfast Club is not a club where one eats breakfast. It is an organization of students started thirteen years ago because of a young student’s suicide(自杀).

The B.C. gives us a chance to talk to our peers(同龄人) about anything on their minds and in their hearts. Our motto(格言): We care but we don’t cure. The club members include Asians, blacks, whites, athletes, musicians, and students with all levels of achievement. The criteria(标准) for belonging to the group is to be a good listener, to be able to come up with ideas, and not give advice! We didn’t know each other in the beginning, but we became good friends after all the training and experiences we went through.

The call led me to a one-on-one meeting with the girl who had asked me down to the office. It seems that she had found her roommate cutting her wrist(手腕). Luckily, it was stopped on time. So she wanted me to help her roommate.
