Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a 1      the summer before my busy senior year,but my mother asked me to do her a 2      . One of her colleagues needed a full-time 3      . "You planned to volunteer at the local hospital,why not volunteer to 4      Nick instead?”Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a 5      child.

Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centers would not6      him. As a baby,he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium (平衡) problems. He couldn't 7      or run properly. I was 8      if I was to take the job when my mother 9     ,"Don't you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the 10       ," Then I told her I was 11      for the job.

The day started at 7 : 00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call!With so much energy and very little

12      ,he was quite a mix. At the park,when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings,the boy,s

face 13      up. How he wished he belonged to the group of his age!You would think it would be 14      to get a child to go down a slide(滑梯).Believe me,it wasn't!It took time,a lot of time.

But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face

his 15      and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.

Halfway through the summer,he 16      it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly,

we flew down the slide!I waited for his 17      . After realizing that he was safe and sound,he

gave me a big 18      and asked, "May I go down again, alone?"

I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what

other children 19      for granted.

This 20      child taught me that being a nurse means respect,kindness and patience.
