On a cold winter morning, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. We were dressed warmly and equipped with the video we had been  26  to watch. I was feeling a little  27  , as I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so heavy that I decided to  28  some things. So I started to walk towards the garbage can when I noticed a poor man  29  his bike out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He  30  over to another nearby garbage can and started  31  it.
I suddenly felt very  32 . I knew this man would take all he could get,  33  I walked up to him and 34  the drink and some snacks over to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles on his forehead, looked up in  35  and took what I gave him.

I now 42  what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can  43  help and everyone will be helped by showing  44 .

Last Monday, at the beginning of class, I   31  asked my students how their weekend had been. One young man said that his weekend had not been so   32 . He had his wisdom teeth removed. Then the young man asked me why I   33  seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something I’d read somewhere before: “Every morning when you get up, you have a choice about   34  you want to approach life that day,” I said. “I choose to be cheerful.”
“Let me give you an example.   35  teaching here, I also teach out at the community college in Henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where I live. One day, I drove those 17 miles to Henderson. I   36  the freeway and turned onto College Drive, only another quarter mile ahead to the college. But just then my car died. I tried to start it again, but the engine   37  turn over. So I put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college.”
  38  getting there I called AAA and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. The secretary asked me what had happened. ‘This is my lucky day,’ I replied, smiling.”
“ ‘Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?’ She was   39 . ‘What do you mean?’ ’’ “I live 17 miles from here.” I replied. “My car   40  have broken down   41  along the freeway. It didn’t.   42 , it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway,   43  walking distance of here. I’m still able to teach my class, and I’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class.”
“The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she    44 . I smiled back and headed for class.” So ended my story.
I scanned the sixty faces in my class. Despite the early hour, no one seemed to be   45 . Somehow, my story had touched them.
