It was in my high school science class. I was doing a task in front of the classroom with my favorite shirt on.

A 36 came,“Nice shirt,”I smiled from ear to ear. Then another voice said,“That shirt belonged to my dad. Greg’s mother works for my family. We were going to 37　 that shirt away, but gave it to her 38 .”I was speechless. I wanted to hide.

I 39　 the shirt in the back of the closet and told my mum what had happened. She then dialed her　 40　 , “I will no longer work for your family,”she told him. That night, Mom told my dad that she couldn’t clean anymore; she knew her life’s　 41 was something greater.

The next morning she　 42　 with the personnel manager at the Board of Eeucation. He told her that without a proper education she could not teach. So mom decided to　 43 a university.

After the first year in college, she went back to the personnel manager. He said, “You are　 44 , aren’t you? I think I have a　 45　 for you as a teacher’s assistant. This opportunity deals with children who are mentally challenged with little or no chance of　 46 .” Mom accepted the opportunity very　 47 .

For almost five years, as a teacher’s assistant, she saw teacher after teacher give up on the children and quit, feeling　 48 . then one day, the personnel manager and the principal　 49　 in her classroom. The principal said, “We have watched how you　 50　 the children and how they communicate with you and admire your hard – working　 51　 over the last five years. We are all in agreement that you　 52　 be the teacher of this class.”

My mom spent more than 20 years there.　 53 her career, she was voted Teacher of the Year. All of this came about because of the　 54　 comment made in the classroom that day. Mom showed me how to handle　 55　 situations and never give up.

Tears clouded-my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett's jeans and full of burn holes;

Tired and defeated, I 　41　 to the floor．The clothes were just one more thing Brett had　 42 ．He often got almost everything in the house out of 　 43 . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 　44　 to steal money when he chose to live on the street．Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 　45 Brett had done to our once quiet home．

Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old．During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as 46　 as possible, but inside I was shouting．"I don't want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can't 47 him!"Having wiped my tears, I continued　 48 him as before．

When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所）．After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 　49 teens． At the　 50　 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 　51 the roost to him or her．Brett spoke 52 to his parents and then spoke to me, "You did so much．You were always there, no matter　 53 ．My mom and dad, I was their kid．But you, 　54　 troubled enough by me, always　55 me such love．And I want you to know I love you for it．"　 56　 ．I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 　57　 ．

At that moment, tears 　58 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for　 59 ．Although I had struggled with silent 60　 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions．Love is action．We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them．
