I was seated in a comer of the classroom,feeling lost. My parents had removed me from my old village school to this boarding school. I missed my old friends. There was now no warm home to rush back to after class and no one to share tales with.
Just then there was a loud cheer from my classmates — a tall,slim teacher in a shirt and a skirt came by and said that the maths teacher was absent (不在的) .She then suggested we do some activities on our own without making any noise. I soon learnt that this was Miss Thomas,better known as the Sports Miss.
The girls soon crowded in small groups. Some chatted while others read books or wrote something. With nothing better to do,I pulled out a sheet of paper and drew hills aimlessly,covered with pa/ms (掠榈 树) ,the path that led to my old school and my teacher with her long hair. As I was devotedly drawing,I found Miss Thomas standing by my side. She quickly took the paper to the teacher s desk.
“Girls,do you see this picture?” she asked. “We have a little artist among us!” I nearly died of shyness. She then made me describe my drawing. After waiting for a while,I managed that. “Now,everybody congratulates Suchitra ,” Miss Thomas told the class.
Many of them then came forward,shook my hand and smiled at me. Immediately,I found the world was a much better place!Actually,my art was nothing special. But Miss Thomas’ s action broke the ice and gave me confidence that never left.
To?ay,forty years later,my schoolmates from that school remain my closest friends. If I have achieved something in life,I owe it to my school,its loving teachers,especially Miss Thomas,a sports teacher who came to me by chance one morning.

“It was a horrible situation,” said Theresa Benz. uPrincipal (校长.) Susan Jordan pushed two students out of the path of a school bus just before it struck and killed her. She's most certainly a hero."
To Benz,whose sons attended Amy Beverland Elementary School,and many others,it came as no surprise that the Indiana principal acted selflessly to protect the lives of her students.
Jordan died around 2:45 p.m. after a school bus suddenly sped up from a stopped position in the school parking lot,hitting and running her over. Two students,both aged 10,were also hit. But they were safe in the hospital.
“We’ re thinking it's nothing more than an unfortunate accident,” said Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Sgt. Kendale Adams. “The bus driver said that she didn t know why the bus sped up. But just before the crash she saw Jordan push two students out of the way. Up until the very end of her life,she was doing what she did,which was protecting the kids. She was so heroic."
Jordan, *69,was principal of the school for 22 years and was referred to as a “legend” because of her great leadership and devotion.
Wendy Osborne,whose kids attended the school several years ago,said Jordan wasn't one to stay in her office. Instead,she walked through the halls greeting students and spent many hours tending to the kids.
One of Benz’s sons,Adam,9, said that Jordan called him to the office recently,not because of a problem,but because she just wanted to celebrate his birthday and give him a card and a pencil.
