For a few years, I have been wearing a ring on my right hand. It’s not always the 36 ring, but it’s always a ring that has 37 on it so that when I look at it, I’m 38 or reminded of something important. I have made a 39 of buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store. Sometimes I give them away as 40 to someone like Jennie.
I first met Jennie in the 41 waiting room and we had talked several times. One night I sat down beside her and 42 how her son was doing because I knew that he was in very 43 condition. She told me that she didn’t know what to do any more because it seemed none of the 44 from the doctors was good. They weren’t at all sure her son was going to 45 the accident that had hurt him so badly. With 46 in her eyes she said, “They’re 47 my hope.”
I knew then that it was 48 just a coincidence that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day. As she 49 to talk, I 50 slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie’s hand. I told her to wear it to remember that God loved her and He would be with her 51 all of this. 52 Jennie looked down at the ring, she got excited and then held it tightly, 53 the word written on the ring was “HOPE”.
The last day I was at the hospital, I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift. She 54 and held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying, “Look, I 55 have Hope!”

Study for an approaching exam
Studying hard for a few days can be tiring, but it always pays off! Most people clearly recall the fear they felt when they realized that an exam was near. If you’re in this situation, don’t worry. Many people have proven that there is still enough time to study, if you do it properly. Here are some strategies to help you.
Calm down! Fear will only make your situation worse. __1__ Many times, fear can even hurt your chances of doing well in the exam. If you are nervous, take deep breaths, and tell yourself strategies to help you.
Study the most important topics first. Exams usually cover a few main ideas, concepts, or skills. When you are short of time, focus your energies on the key areas. Review the highlighted topics in textbooks and the parts your teacher stressed repeatedly. __2__.
Determine what subjects you don’t know enough about. __3__The parts you know more about still need reviewing, but they will come to you more easily. So try to focus on the more challenging topics.
