The Power of Fresh Starts

Thirty years ago, I began my first year of teaching in Grade 2. One of the most  1   students was a little boy who had a serious ADD(多动症). I had no  2   in dealing with such a case, and I  3   the year studying how to help him become a successful  4  . There were many disappointing moments, but there was something  5  about the boy who moved excitedly around my classroom.

 6   the end of the school year came near, I heard a talk. The Grade 3 teachers were  7   of having Stephen the following year. I considered it a lot, and I  8   that I would be the best person to  9   Stephen into Grade 3. My headmaster looked at me in  10  , but he agreed to my plan.

I will never forget that day when Stephen came to ask  11   he was in my class again. I looked him in the eye and said, “Well, Stephen, you’re in my  12   because I asked for you.” The little boy looked surprised. “You did? Why? ” he asked. “Because I  like you and want to keep  13   with you,” I answered.

Stephen just  14   at me. After a few moments, he  15  and walked back to his seat. We never spoke of it again, but the two of us had many  16   learning breakthroughs(突破) that year. I believe those  17   were more of a result of Stephen’s knowing that I had put his previous year’s mistakes behind him.

Now I come to know that when I  18   for one, I can improve his soul. Each season is a new beginning, a new way of thinking. Many students  19   a new start and are determined to act upon it. We need to pay attention to even the smallest  20   that students are looking for help.
