Maja Kazazic thought she’d never walk without pain again before she saw the dolphin Winter with an artificial tail. For a long time, she had been  36  the injured dolphin which swam around the tank. From a distance, the dolphin seemed approachable enough. Still, as Kazazic prepared herself for the jump, a little  37  crept into (开始影响) her excitement. Despite her fear, she felt strong with her   38  leg.

Several years ago, Kazazic  39  her five-year-old cousin Jasmina because of an incurable disease. Kazazic swore she would honor the little girl by swimming with a dolphin, an animal that both girls admired. “Jasmina never got the chance to do it, ” says Kazazic, “so I decided that I’d do it for her someday.”

In high school, Kazazic   40  sports and planned to become a professional   41  . But in 1993, a bomb exploded in the school courtyard. The six friends she had been   42  were killed. Both of Kazazic’s legs were seriously injured.

In a temporary hospital, her left leg was thought beyond  43  and was cut off. “There was no anesthesia(麻醉),” she recalled. “They tied me down before giving me a piece of rubber to  44  on. I could feel everything but couldn’t make a sound.” Her wound became infected due to lack of medicines. Two years later, Kazazic got a new leg.

“After being in a dangerous war zone, this should be pretty easy,” Kazazic said before she  45  herself in the tank. She held out a hand to Winter, who  46  cautiously, then moved away. After a few minutes, Winter let Kazazic touch her back and nuzzled(用鼻子轻触)up to her shoulder. The two started an hour-long swim.

She would have shouted with joy  47  she quietly explained, “I used to feel like I owed somebody something, and now I’ve paid my debt.” Out in the parking lot, she made a joyful and excited cry until her voice was hoarse.

It was her laughing that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (someone that does something wrong), I asked for the   36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   37  between teacher and student. When she finally   38  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn   39  of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,   40 , was working angrily as I struggled not to   41 . I figured I knew the two students who were most likely to draw the picture. It would do them some   42  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   44 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason   45  and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffled(抽鼻子) in the back of the classroom.
As I   46  the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you,” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” A number of them said, “You give us too much homework.” Some kids said, “We’re   47  of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   48   were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   49  , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   50 my students, I had begun commanding them to   51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   52  driving them away.
I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   53  by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   55 .

I grew up knowing I was different, and I hated it. I was born with a cleft palate (豁嘴), and when I started school my classmates made it clear to me how I　 1　 to others: a little girl with a misshapen lip, crooked nose (鼻子歪斜) and unclear 　 2　 .

When schoolmates would ask, "What 　 3　 to your lip?" I'd tell them I'd fallen and cut it on a piece of glass. Somehow it seemed more 　 4　 to have suffered an accident than to have been 　 5　 different. I was sure that no one outside my family could love me, or 　 6　 like me. Then I entered Mrs. Leonard's second-grade class.

Mrs. Leonard was a pretty woman, with shining brown hair and dark,　 7　 eyes. Everyone loved her. But no one　 8　 to love her more than I did. Ｔhis was for a special　 9　 .

The time came　 10　 the yearly hearing tests given at our school. I could　 11　 hear out of one ear and was not about to reveal（显露） something 　 12　 that would single me out as different. So I 　 13　 .

The "whisper test" required each child to get to the classroom door, turn 　 14　 , close one ear with a finger 　 15　 the teacher whispered something from her desk, which the child 　 16　 . Then the same for the other ear. Nobody 　 17　 how tightly the untested ear was covered, so I just 　 18　 to block mine. As usual, I was the last one. I turned my 　 19　 ear toward her, plugging up the other just enough to be able to hear. I waited, and then came the words that God had surely put into her mouth, seven words that changed my 　 20　 forever.

Mrs. Leonard, the teacher I loved, said softly, "I wish you were my little girl."
