During my second year of college, I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church, the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.[来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K]

    To be  36  , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the  37  would be---a very low figure that  38 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the  39 and decided to move in.

    At the end of the term I had planned to find   40  living place, since the daughter was to  41  home. To my delight, they  42  that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their  43  ----their people became my people. I   44  accepted the offer.

    As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be  45  to have a little sister to look after. But when I later met my new sister, I  46 that she was more independent than I first  47 .

   We finally fell in love,  48  , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more  49  than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go  50  largely because we knew that we are deeply   51  .

   It isn’t about marriage… It’s about  52  . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as  53  as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be  54   ----you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.[来源:Z§xx§k.Com]

   Is there somebody you can depend on?  And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is  55  to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

As educators, we often never know the influence we have on our students. It is always wonderful to have ___35___ students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to ___36___ in the life of every child.

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music ___37___ the soul. It can ___38___ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the ___39___ for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it.

For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach ___40___ students one afternoon a week. One of my most ___41___ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We ___42___ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit.” It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students ___43___ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to ___44___ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she ___45___ said or sang a word.

One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in ___46___ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart ___47___ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also ___48___. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.

Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big ___49___ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had ___50___ so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, ___51___ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ___52___ to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to ___53___ the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s ___54___.
