       Knowing the death could have been   25   if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al's emotional health became worse under the huge burden of his guilt. To make matters __26  , his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son.

       As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he   30    — his home, his land, his art works everything.   31    Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in      for seventeen years, I had no     about my ability to hold their attention and to impress on them my     for the literature of my mother tongue.

As I entered the room, I was     when the monitor shouted: “Stand up!” The entire class rose, and I was somewhat     about how to get them to sit down again. Once that awkwardness was over, I quickly     my calmness and began what I thought was an informed lecture, sure to gain their respect — perhaps     their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.

I asked my students to keep     as homework. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually     by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today.     her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a     theme. “Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical     for all the works we’ll study in class,” I complained. “How     they say I didn’t teach them anything?”

It was a long term, and it     became clear that my ideas about     were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise     questions and provide enough background so that students could     their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide     information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!

   , I benefited a lot, for my experience with my Chinese students has made me a     American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

I always carry at least $3 in my car and also in my pocket. I save it for the person who asks if I can “spare some  36 ”. Smiling and making eye contact, I always   37 very cheerfully with a comment like, “Yes, I would love to”  38 “It would be my pleasure”. And I give them the  39  .

Then I  40 it with my next $3 for the next person. I   41 spend this money myself. I honor the idea that it belongs to the  42 of the next person who asks for it. Three dollars is a small  43 , yet it means a lot to the person who might only expect 25 cents,  44 when delivered with respect to them.

I have also formed the habit of carrying  45 I think the needy may be able to use. I carry hats, socks, gloves, and an umbrella. Recently I  46 some care packages for the homeless. It  47 to me that things like band-aids, toothpaste, aspirin, combs, as well as food would be of use. I imagined that they would need things that are not easy to  48 , so I chose plastic or paper containers. The folks who  49 them were delighted.

But I think it’s not just that I give them things that  50 . It’s that I see them for the beautiful ray of lights that they are. I know that they are  51 expressions of God and that this is how they are at the current time, not who they are. I am  52 to also give a hug and a smile with the money. And I always remember it is they who bless me with the  53 to be kind! What a joy! I felt  54 good and proud of what I had done. See, that’s the added  55 about completing acts of kindness —you feel fantastic.
