My mother often asked me, “what is the most important part of the body?” Through the years I would guess at  46 I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My   47 , Mommy.”  She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you   48  thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Then last year, my Grandpa   49 . Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our   50  to say our final goodbye to grandpa. She asked me,  “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”  I was shocked   51  she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion(迷惑) on my face and told me, “This   52  is very important. It shows that you have   53  lived your life”. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.” I asked,  “Is it because it holds up your head?”

She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or loved one when they   54. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and  55  that you will have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of   36  .
I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking   37  I might do and found I didn’t have much to  38  . I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career. I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first, but the  39 began when I agreed to   40 , so that I would be there if my 41 had to go out for business in the evening. We  42  that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me off the next. But  43  , it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely   44and fed up, because I had too many 45  nights and early mornings with the children.
  46   Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my  47  . She suggested that I should take a (n)   48  and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I did not think I would be   49 because I didn’t take many exams in school. She    50 me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience 51  for a lot and I got a part-time course. I had to   52  my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten. Now I’ve got a full-time job there, I shall always be   53 to Megan. I wish I had known   54  that you could have a career,   55  you aren’t top of the class at school.

Each person has a（an）   13 on the world in some ways．Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it   14  the same way that you do it．The next time you feel   15 , remember "Nobody else can make the sound that you make．"
