I was seated in a comer of the classroom,feeling lost. My parents had removed me from my old village school to this boarding school. I missed my old friends. There was now no warm home to rush back to after class and no one to share tales with.
Just then there was a loud cheer from my classmates — a tall,slim teacher in a shirt and a skirt came by and said that the maths teacher was absent (不在的) .She then suggested we do some activities on our own without making any noise. I soon learnt that this was Miss Thomas,better known as the Sports Miss.
The girls soon crowded in small groups. Some chatted while others read books or wrote something. With nothing better to do,I pulled out a sheet of paper and drew hills aimlessly,covered with pa/ms (掠榈 树) ,the path that led to my old school and my teacher with her long hair. As I was devotedly drawing,I found Miss Thomas standing by my side. She quickly took the paper to the teacher s desk.
“Girls,do you see this picture?” she asked. “We have a little artist among us!” I nearly died of shyness. She then made me describe my drawing. After waiting for a while,I managed that. “Now,everybody congratulates Suchitra ,” Miss Thomas told the class.
Many of them then came forward,shook my hand and smiled at me. Immediately,I found the world was a much better place!Actually,my art was nothing special. But Miss Thomas’ s action broke the ice and gave me confidence that never left.
To?ay,forty years later,my schoolmates from that school remain my closest friends. If I have achieved something in life,I owe it to my school,its loving teachers,especially Miss Thomas,a sports teacher who came to me by chance one morning.
