My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who joined in this 41 .
One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and 42 . All the students were working 43 a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no 44 of stopping. I walked down the row and found 45 was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my 46 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on, 47 I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” … I felt it best not to 48 .
After another ten minutes, the students were 49 to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna __50 hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door. Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway, Donna got a shovel(铲子) from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to 51 . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the _52 of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and 53 your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.5u
Donna delivered the eulogy(悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to 54 the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is 55 by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in 56 . Amen!”
She turned the students 57 and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the 58 of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student 59 and said, “I Can’t,” Donna 60 pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to 36 water to the runners. I remember being so 37 to see all the different kinds of people who passed by and grabbed a cup of water. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! So the next year I 38 up for the race.
That first 10,000m race was quite an 39 . I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. 40 , I didn’t know if I could finish. Then came a defining (决定性) 41 .
At one point near the end, a 70-year-old man ran past me, very, very fast, and I felt 42 because I was 50 years younger than he but I couldn’t even keep up with him. I felt 43 for a second.
But then I 44 something. He was running his race and I was running mine. He had 45 abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had mine. Remember my 46 was only to finish.
After a minute, it 47 me that this was a lesson I could draw from. I learned something about myself in that moment. I turned my embarrassment into 48 .
I 49 that I would not give up on running races. In fact, I would run even more races and I would learn how to train and prepare 50 and one day I would be one of those 70-year-old persons who were still running. As I crossed the finish line, I was proud of my 51 .
In life we all have those moments where we 52 ourselves to others. It’s only 53 . Don’t allow those moments to 54 you. Turn them into motivation and let them inspire you. With the proper preparation and training, you can improve your result to 55 anything you want in life.
