  Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments.One of the most unforgettable   1   when I was teaching second   2   10 years ago.

  In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother's Day tea.We had put our heads together to   3   ideas of how to   4   our mothers.We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards.We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother's Day.I was surprised and   5   to learn that every mother was planning to attend.I   6   invited my own mother.

  Finally, the big day arrived.Each child   7   up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.  8   it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy.His mother hadn't shown up and he was looking   9  .

  I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy.“Jimmy,”I said,“I have a bit of problem here and I was   10   if you could keep my mother   11   while I'm busy.”

  My mom and Jimmy sat at a table.Jimmy   12   my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   13   the day before.Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   14  .

  Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment.Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day's   15   and an evaluation of our trip.Then I collected the students' booklets and checked them to see if   16   was completed.When I came   17   Jimmy's page, he had written“Remember our Mother's Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”

  I told him I really enjoyed what he had written.He looked rather embarrassed and   18   his own thanks and walked away.Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug.“Thanks again.No one even knew my mother didn't   19   it.”

  I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had   20   stopped hugging teachers years ago.
