A Good Custodian
I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian．
I pass her every day after school as she pushes her cart down my
hallway．Of course, she is my building's cleaner,
One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a 36 on my
desk from my custodian,
It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been 37 to clean it．This took 38 than she had expected． She had left the typewritten note on my desk to 39 for not being able to clean my room as she was 40 to do．
At the beginning of the period, I shared her note with my first period 41 When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us, their first 42 was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their 43 . It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name -all of them responded with smiles and 44 for a long time about this time or that time when she'd 45 each of them in the hallway．That she felt she needed to apologize 46 a strong reaction from many of the kids．
As the class period was about to end, I asked them to 47 the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage 48 it wasn't theirs．My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly 49 their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that 50 so easily from notebooks．One girl made a （an） 51 that I later used with my other classes:" Her job might be to clean the room, but she shouldn't have to clean up 52 us．There's a difference．”
I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong．I believe that people appreciate it when others 53 take care of them．And I believe that people, even adolescents who are not quite yet mature, appreciate it when they see someone who takes 54 in her work． Sometimes we need a 55 of the things we take for granted ．．．things like a good custodian to take care of us．
