You Are Going Places
One day I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work. I work at a local restaurant in town as a cashier and waiter.
I went to work feeling 21 . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening. It' s the same thing over and over again. 22 with customers who complain about their food and where they are 23 is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to 24 a lot of us 25 but we manage to deal with it.
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very 26 near where I keep the dirty 27 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and 28 running all over the house, it was crazy. 29 these elderly women were watching 30 I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers.
When they 31 their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what 32 I was in and what I planned to do in the future.
33 they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a 34 and gentle voice, ^You are going places. ̄ And that was it. They left the 35 and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me 36 to believe in myself. They 37 my spirit from being down and gave me a 38 to keep on working hard.
People used to tell me that I couldn¨t have a career in 39 until I had a degree. I'm now a co-anchor ��選栽麼隔繁��of a student-produced television 40 . And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.

I grew up in a small town and the main entertainment was Friday night high school football. It was just a sleepy little town where parents wanted to raise their children away from crime and 36 of a big city, and where teenagers like me 37 leaving to find something bigger and better.
All that changed one summer night. My friend Lisa, Martin and Tyler held a party for my eighteenth birthday at Lisa¨s house. 38 they kept handing alcohol to me I was pretty 39 . I asked Tyler to take me home. With some 40 , we made it out to his car and drove home. News came next morning. My friend Martin was 41 in a car accident. That night after Tyler and I left, Martin, who was 42 more drunk than me, got into his car and 43 towards the highway to go home. Driving on the wrong side of the road, he never saw the truck coming. The driver didn¨t see him 44 to avoid the car. They hit head on. Martin died immediately, and the driver was thrown 45 the truck windshield�┻卸膕AВ�and died a week later.

Don¨t ever think that your choices are yours 53 . Every choice is like a stone dropped into 54 water!each ripple (前糘) represents someone who your choice 55 . That¨s quite an influence, isn¨t it?

臥心楼籾�蠻藝祐隶�>>The moment happened 20 years ago but it was still fresh in my memory. I was a college freshman and had 36 up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first 37 of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a 38 . A few minutes¨ nap��弌鋒��time before class couldn¨t 39 , I thought.
BOOM! I lifted my head suddenly and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my 40 beating wildly trying to find the cause of the 41 . My young professor was looking at me with a boyish smile on his face. He had 42 dropped the textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. ^Good morning! ̄, he said still 43 . ^I am glad to see everyone is 44 . Now let¨s get started.  ̄
For the next hour I wasn¨t sleepy at all. It wasn¨t from the 45 of my professor¨s textbook alarm clock either. It was instead from the 46 discussion he led. With knowledge and good 47 he made the material come 48 . His insight was full of both wisdom and loving-kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that he 49 with were contagious��嗤湖半薦議��. I 50 the classroom not only wide awake, but a little 51 and a little better as well.
I learned something far more important than not 52 in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life��do it well��do it with 53 . What a wonderful place this would be if all of us did our work joyously and well. Don¨t sleepwalk your way through 54 then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work. Life is too 55 not to live it well.
