(Minghui.org) I’m a high school student and I’ve practiced Falun Dafa with my mother and grandmother since I was a child. Throughout my life, compassionate Master has always been by my side. I strive to live by Dafa’s principles and be a good person.

Because my mother is a practitioner, I was immersed in the Buddha’s grace even before I was born and I’ve been very healthy. Kindergarten environments are known for spreading viruses, so children frequently get sick and take time off. I was absent only once in three years when there was a typhoon. I am the healthiest of my classmates. While other students often fret over trivial matters or struggle to fall asleep at night, I can let go of the day’s issues by looking inward and elevating my character, so I quickly drift off.

Society’s moral standards continue to decline, and coarse language is often heard in the classroom. Even classmates who never swore before picked up this bad habit. I’ve never uttered a single profanity in my life, and my classmates admired me.

During a dictation test, a classmate somehow obtained the answers from another class, and almost everyone else rushed over to look at them. I refused to join them because doing so would violate Falun Dafa’s principle of “Truthfulness.” Although it was just a minor quiz, I insisted on earning my grade honestly through my own efforts.

I also hold myself to strict standards regarding the use of electronic devices. While many classmates watched videos or played games the moment they got their hands on a phone and became completely engrossed, I felt these devices were merely tools. I stop using them as soon as the task is done, and I’m sometimes reluctant to use them at all. However, there are times when I struggle with self-control, so I ask my mother to set a password on the devices. My classmates call me the “purest kid” and joke that my behavior raises the class’s overall standard. Whether this was meant as a compliment or I was being teased, I’m committed to being a good person in accordance with Dafa’s teachings, and uphold righteous conduct. I refuse to fit in by blindly following the crowd.

My ability to do all this is due to Master’s constant guidance and protection. This has manifested in miraculous ways in my life. The first time I rode a bicycle home alone, I felt a bit apprehensive. As I approached a large intersection, the traffic light signals in the distance looked confusing. For a moment, I couldn’t tell if it was safe to cross. With vehicles of all sizes coming and going, making the wrong move could be dangerous. To my surprise, an elderly man on a bicycle rode up, went ahead of me, and crossed the street. I followed him and successfully navigated the complex intersection. Since he was heading in the same direction, I continued to follow him. When we reached the final stretch to a route I knew well, he rode off, and I made it home safely. Looking back, it feels truly remarkable. I realized that Master guided me home.

I also faced challenges in my studies. Academic pressure is immense these days. On weekends, almost all my classmates attend tutoring classes for math, physics, and chemistry, and often for Chinese and English as well. I also followed this routine since junior high. Even though I only took three subjects, it still took a significant toll on my energy.

After entering high school, the difficulty of the math tutoring class skyrocketed, approaching the level of math competitions. My mother and I discussed this situation for a long time, and she insisted I drop a few classes, but I was afraid to give any of them up—I was worried I would fall behind and I couldn’t keep up with the school curriculum.

I later realized that Dafa is the most important thing, so spending too much time on tutoring would reduce time for Fa-study and doing the exercises, so I would lose more than I gained.

I dropped the math tutoring class. Instead, I spent my weekends watching preview videos online and doing some practice problems using a study guide. My math grades in class were usually quite average. Yet, in the district-wide final exam at the end of the semester, I unexpectedly achieved a very high score, ranking among the top students in the class, surpassing even those high-achieving classmates who attended the same math tutoring class I did.

During the exam, unexpected lines of reasoning came to mind one after another, helping me solve the most difficult problems. I know that Master was guiding and encouraging me throughout this process. Based on my own abilities alone, I certainly could not have achieved such a high score.

I hope this article allows more people to see how wonderful Falun Dafa is!

I am deeply grateful to Master and Dafa for guiding me every step of the way and bringing me to where I am today!
