“I am so proud of you and all you have achieved. I   21  your opinion from. The L. A. Times with my family and thought about you as my student at Hibbing High School.”

It was    22  Margarel Leibfried, — a teacher who helped me believe that I could become   23  .

Thirty years ago, in Hibbing, I  24  high school as a bookish introvert（内向）made all the more shy because I was the school’s only non—while student. I always felt  25  being swept away by a sea of golden hair schoolmates. By 10th grade, I’d developed strange behavior, hoping to   26  being laughed at as a “brain”. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories.

Ms. Leibfried taught composition grammar, as well as the usual – memorizing vocabulary and reading  27  .

Exciting to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my   28  in both reading and writing, and she took the time to draw me out; she   29   offered reading suggestions.

That year’s big task was a book report, to be read aloud to   30  .   31  , Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report. I was to    32   a passage from a book, memorize it and reeite it in front of the class.

The morning of the presentations, I remember  33  sweating（出汗）so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I held my hands  34  in prayer（祈祷）formation, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my shirt. I finished and,   35  , the class broke out in applause（鼓掌）. “As a writer and a good reader, Marie has  36  a particularly sensitive part of novel and   37  it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.

I can now appreciate how much  38  it must have taken for those teachers to let me move away so   39  from the lesson plan. With today’s pressure on teachers to “teach to the test,” I wonder if any would or could take the time to find the potential（潜力）in a single,    40   student. Good teaching helps make productive and fully realized adults – a result that won’t show up in each term’s test scores.
