After seeing the movie, Precious, I wrote down nothing on my notebook but only a sentence," Everything is a gift of the universe."

   The movie is about the story of a girl struggling for living. The main character, Precious, was abused emotionally and physically by her mother, and she was pregnant the second time by her father. Unlike her name, she was not cherished by others, and it seems like that she was abandoned by all people and the whole society. Under her huge body, she has a fragile, tender, and broken heart. After her pregnancy and her leaving of the original school, she met the most important person in her life, Mrs. Rain, who helped Precious out from a dark and hopeless place. Mrs. Rain is a patient and kind teacher; she not only taught Precious how to read and write but also taught her how to speak through her words. She used this way to cure Precious of her broken heart. Because of her own tragic past, after she gave the birth to her second child, she made up her mind that she would give her child her whole love. So she refuse the suggestion of adoption, she bought her child home. After escaping from her horrible mother, she lived in Mrs. Rain’s house and had a happy Christmas that she never had. In the end of the movie, Mrs. Rain told Precious that she had to be stronger for your kids and for yourself.

  This movie made my mind filled with shock and sympathy. I also felt that I am really lucky because I have such a happy family and life! This is a gift that God gives me!
