"You probably don't remember me," she began, "But I've come back to apply for graduation with excellent grades." Then she 21 a piece of paper from her 22 and gave it to me.It was my handwriting, but I 23 writing it.

The note she handed me 28 ,"Congratulations on your excellent second term.You may have been 29 at your fall grades, but you should feel 30 of how you've turned your effort around.Best of luck in 31 the good work, and you'll be qualified for graduation with excellent grades."
I didn't remember sending the note, written at the bottom of her second term transcript.
The student went on and said, "You can't know what this 32 to me.I've carried it in my wallet for three years and took it out 33 I didn't want to do my work.For three years I've been 34 to enter your office and give you this note and this transcript." She handed me her 35 transcript with good marks.
We were both excited.She cried and I 36 to.Writing the note seemed like nothing to me, 37 it made a great difference to her.I really had no 38 my actions had such meaning.
I've enjoyed this memory for many years—with 39 for such an act of kindness.The kindness of course wasn't mine in writing the note, but her kindness in wanting me to know what I did had 40 .I really thank her!

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Na Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles form home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I'd just head east.
A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take form there. This clearly was going to be a long night.
She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its wind-shield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.
"I just can't leave you here, "she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home."
“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I asked, perplexed(迷惑的).
“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.
“It’s a long way,” I protested(抗议).
“Come on,”she said. “I have nothing else to do.”
As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along.”she said.
When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That would not make it a favor,” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”
