It was the beginning of a new term. As a(n) 41 teacher in that school, I didn’t know any of the students. A little girl was 42 at the gate of the classroom. She looked very 43 .
I walked up to her and asked 44 she stood there. But she said 45 . Instead, a boy shouted, “She is from Grade Four, the 46 student in her grade.” I looked at the little girl, who didn’t seem to be the smart kind. I 47 why her teacher asked her to stay in Grade Three. I took her hand and 48 her into the classroom.
“Sit here. Now you are my student and I’m your teacher,” I said. She 49 said nothing, but she burst into tears.
I later learnt that her parents 50 in a car accident, and she had 51 talking to others since then. She learnt very 52 . I gave her respect and never 53 her as I know everybody deserves respect. I 54 her after school, and she was making 55 little by little. I encouraged her and as 56 went by, she was not as shy as before. At the end of the term, she seemed to have forgotten all her 57 . She was not one of the best students when she left that school, 58 at least, she was not that shy and sad little girl any longer.
In the following 59 , she would send me a card on each Thanksgiving Day. Three days ago, I received a(n) 60 to her wedding. And now, I am at her wedding, and she is smiling brightly..
