I was eleven years old, waiting for my exam at Saraswati Vidyalaya, my school in Nagpur. “No. 12, please come forward.” Kirti, a very fat girl from my class, stepped ahead. I heard my classmates laughing and so I tried to stop them with my eyes. But my good intentions were mistaken. The next morning, my teacher, Mrs. Kamble, told me, “Ashwini, I’ve received a complaint about you.” I was shocked. The girl I was protecting thought I’d been laughing at her.
I tried to explain but the teacher refused to hear me out. She punished me by making me stand by the door. I knew I was right. Such punishment to a class topper was simply unheard of. But, slowly, my pride disappeared. Instead of being angry, I understood the other students who have been punished at times. For the first time, I felt humbled (谦逊的).
Three years later, I was in the math class. Mr. Prabhuraman, wrote an equation (方程式) — one he’d taught us the day before — on the blackboard. “Anyone who doesn’t know how to solve this,” he said, “please leave the class at once.” I knew I could solve only the first two steps. But my pride made me stay there. Unfortunately, the one who was asked to solve it was me. I just stood there, chalk in hand, trying not to look foolish. I prepared myself for a good talking-to (斥责), but Mr. Prabhuraman told me kindly, “Go back to your seat.”
Today, two decades later, those incidents have made me think. One teacher punished me for something I didn’t do; the other forgave me for something I did wrong. Both experiences had an effect on me. They remind me that no matter what you accomplish (完成), you must always be humble.

As long as I can remember I was overweight. Actually that isn't entirely true because I can 1 remember one summer when I was "normal". After that it seems like I was always 2 . I wanted so eagerly (急切地) to be like all of the other kids. I would look in the mirror with my shirt off 3 cover my stomach, 4 it wasn't there just so I could keep a positive 5 of myself. I can remember when my mom first found out I weighed over 200 pounds. I was 12 and 6 go to the asthma (哮喘) doctor. When I got on the 7 it read 212 pounds. My heart 8 . I 9 to her because I didn't want her to find out. I was 10 of being overweight and afraid of her 11 , which was a fear in my own mind rather than a reality. I can remember going to the " 12 " store with my grandma so I could get a suit for my 8th grade graduation. They 13 me at size 46. I couldn't believe it. I was used to the 40s that I had let down around my hips (臀部) where most kids my 14 wore them. Can you 15 being a size 46 at 14 years old? It took me a week to look myself in the face again without self-pity. Not only was the high weight bad for my physical health, but it was 16 to my mental health. I never 17 how it made me shy, lonely or depressed. I kept all of these bottled up (抑制) inside because I knew that I would just be 18 as the depressed fat kid who wanted everyone to feel 19 for him. And you know they were right not to feel sorry for me because it was my 20 : I was lazy. | ||||
