It was in my high school science class. I was doing a task in front of the classroom with my favorite
shirt on.
A__
1__ came, "Nice shirt," I smiled from ear to ear. Then another voice said, "That shirt belonged
to my dad. Greg's mother works for my family. We were going to__
2__ that shirt away, but gave it to
her__
3__." I was speechless. I wanted to hide.
I__
4__ the shirt in the back of the closet and told my mom what had happened. She then dialed her
__
5__, "I will no longer work for your family," she told him. That night, mom told my dad that she
couldn't clean anymore; she knew her life's__
6__ was something greater.
The next morning she__
7__ with the personal manager at the Board of Education. He told her that
without a proper education she could not teach. So mom decided to__
8__ a university.
After the first year in college, she went back to the personal manager. He said, "You are__
9__,
aren't you? I think I have a__
10__ for you as a teacher's assistant. This opportunity deals with children
who are mentally challenged with little or no chance of__
11__." Mom accepted the opportunity very
__
12__.
For almost five years, as a teacher's assistant, she saw teacher after teacher give up on the children
and quit, feeling__
13__. Then one day, the personal manager and the principal__
14__ in her classroom.
The principal said, "We have watched how you__
15__ the children and how they communicate with you
and admire your hardworking__
16__ over the last five years. We are all in agreement that you__
17__ be
the teacher of this class."
My mom spent more than 20 years there. __
18__ her career, she was voted Teacher of the Year. All
of this came about because of the__
19__ comment made in the classroom that day. Mom showed me
how to handle__
20__ situations and never give up.
