It was yearbook day and we were given an hour to sign each other's yearbooks in the cafeteria.I was president of the class and I played sports.When I sat down at a table, people started to come over to get their yearbooks signed and to sign 1 .
Among them, a weak boy with ugly teeth and thick glasses kept shaking.I had seen him around, and I knew he was always laughed at.He seemed 2 of himself, and was so pale that it 3 us to look at him.
He came up and asked me nervously,“Can you sign this?”I took his yearbook but I didn't know 4 to write.I saw that there was the name“Ricky Sanders”written on the front of it.So I wrote:

My friends broke into a loud laugh, and I saw that he was carefully frying to put a signature in my yearbook.He hadn't even finished the“R”yet.I thought for a while and 7 to let him sign.
It took him nearly five minutes to sign and when I got my yearbook back, there was a very shaky“RICKY”.He hugged(紧抱)his yearbook and 8 .I couldn't help but smile back at him.
In that moment, my 9 changed completely.
I gave him a high five and suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature.He was asked politely to write in their yearbooks and the signature 10 of his yearbook were filled up.He was smiling so big that it lit up the whole room.
I changed school the next year, and I never saw Ricky again.However, I will never forget the day that he became the most 11 guy in school.Whenever I'm 12 , I still look back at that yearbook.
