But in a black family with eight children, money was always      , so the two growing boys often went      . They turned to stealing. They stole cookies from the grocery store and bread from the      . They even stole money from their parents to feed.
At the end of his first year in high school, Chris received three A’s and       F’s on his report card --- the first time he had       anything in school.

We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet. Thus we are sometimes affected by fears or anxiety impacting our life. For as long as I could remember I had struggled with anxiety. After I left university, I made friends with a Moroccan woman at work. One day she invited me to       her and her family back home. I wanted to, but I would have to travel there      and I knew we would be in a very rural area. How would I cope with my      ?
Then one day it       to me that I had a life to live. I could choose to let anxiety       me or I could go to Morocco and       something different. I was 23 years old and had never been out of the UK alone. The journey to Morocco       something inside me. I managed to cope with my anxiety. The sense of       was overwhelming and still to this day when I get afraid of going somewhere alone, I remember how       it felt when I arrived in Morocco.
Upon arrival I was so       for the generous welcome I received. My friend’s family had arranged a welcome party. The people were so loving toward me. As a moment of       felt in a faraway village, this reminded me that I was “good enough”, which helped to       my anxiety.
Waking up the next day, in the morning light, I saw the area where we were. I was       by how rural it was – and the realization that these people had very few     .
In the days afterwards, I traveled around Morocco. We went to Marrakesh and      the Atlas mountains. We had the most amazing food – lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
At the end of my       something inside me had changed. I realized I had not felt anxious for nearly two weeks.
Experiencing a different culture far away from home helped me to realize what is important in life, what really    , and with that my anxiety    . When I returned home I was much more active in       my anxiety. Working with people, helping them       their anxiety, is how I can share the love I found in Morocco.

When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院) every week to lead us in woodworking projects. I remember the night that I finished my first project. It was a small table and I looked upon it as though I had created a life. I could        wait to give it to Mother Winters, our orphanage’s leader, as a       .
Since the tables’ coating was still       , the man asked us to wait a while before taking our tables to our dormitories. But I couldn’t wait. I dashed out the door in a       , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
“It is very pretty,” Mother Winter smiled at me. When she touched the coating she noticed that it was still wet. Then she asked me why I had brought. I stood with       down. “Were you supposed to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am, ” I said.
Mother Winters kicked the table over and all of the legs were        off. She made me throw the table outside. After Mother Winters left, I went out to get my little table. There was dirt all over it.        silently, I hid the ruined table in my closet. A year later I gave it to Mother Henderson, my houseparent, to       .
Thirty years later I learned Mother Henderson was living in Asheville, North Carolina, so I drove up to see her. She gently asked me to come down to her basement and help her get something       . “Do you remember that?” she asked,        into a dark corner. I did. I could not speak for fear of crying. “Roger, I want you to        it.” Mother Henderson gave me back the little        that I had given up for lost so long ago. She had kept it, never       if she would see me again.
Today, I look at the table with bittersweet memories. I think of when Mother Winters forced me to throw it away. But I am also      and joyful at the kindness of Mother Henderson, who kept it as a remembrance of a young orphan who tried very hard to       .
