My job was to make classroom observations and encourage a training program that would enable students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teachers who participated in this    36   .  

One day, I entered Donna’s classroom, took a seat in the back of the room and    37   . All the students were working    38    a task. The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no    39    of stopping. I walked down the row and found    40    was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.  

By this time the activity aroused my    41   , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on    42    I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …… I felt it best not to    43   .  

After another ten minutes, the students were    44    to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna  

45    hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door.       Students followed the teacher. I followed the students. Halfway down the hallway Donna got a shovel from the tool house, and then marched the students to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to    46   . The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the    47    of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and    48    your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.  

Donna delivered the eulogy (悼词). “Friends, we gathered here today to    49    the memory of ‘I Can’t.’ He is    50    by his brothers and sisters ‘I Can’ and ‘I Will’. May ‘I Can’t’ rest in51   . Amen!”  

She turned the students    52    and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the    53    of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student    54    and said, “I Can’t,” Donna    55    pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement.
