Jonathan was not the kind of
boy I had expected to spend my summer vacation with．I was hoping to have a 31
the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do
her a 32 ．One of her colleagues needed a full-time 33 ．”You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why
not volunteer to 34 Jonathan instead?” Then she told me
that this six-year-old boy was not a
35 child．
Jonathan was a lovely little
boy who suffered from many disorders．Normal day-care centers would not 36 him．As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left
him with equilibrium(平衡)problems．He couldn’t 37 or run properly．I was 38 if
I was to take the job when my mother 39
,”Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even
have the 40 ．“
Then I told her I was 41
for the job．
The day started at 7:00 a．m．Jonathan was my wake-up
call! With so much energy and very little 42 ,he was quite a mix．
At the park, when he saw all
the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face 43 up-how he wished he belonged to the group
of his age! You would think it be 43 to get a child to go down a slide．Believe me, it wasn’t! It
took time, a lot of time．But with patience
and supports, Jonathan took one step up the slide each day．We worked together to face
his 45 and gradually he got closer to
taking the slide of his life．
Halfway through the summer,
he 46 it to the top of the slide．With my arms holding him
tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his 47 ．After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave
me a big 48 and asked, “May I go down again,
alone?”
I had never been happier in
my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other
children 49 for granted．
This 50 child taught me that being a
nurse means respect, kindness and patience．
