Preparing for tomorrow

         Sixth-grade schoolteacher Ms.Shelton believed in readiness.Students remembered how she walked in on the first day of class and began writing words of eighth-grade on the    36    .They quickly protested that the words were not on their    37     and they couldn’t learn them.

         Their teacher insisted that the students could and would learn these    38    .She said that she would teach them something that should be given.Ms.Shelton    39     by saying that one of the students in the classroom could go on to    40    , maybe even be president someday, and she wanted to prepare them for that day.

         Ms.Shelton spoke those words many years ago.  41     did she know that someday one of her students—Jesse Jackson—would take them    42    .She believed that if they were well prepared, they could    43    high goals.

         Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “People only see what they are    44     to see.” If that’s true, then it is also    45     that they only become what they are prepared to become.And many things in life are just about getting ready.

         “I want to be doing something more    46     with my life than what I am doing now,” a young man once said to me.He    47     what he was doing was just not that important.Other people have said things to me such as, “I only    48     I had a meaningful relationship.” And, “I’d really like to get a better job, but I just don’t see    49    .”

         You fill in the blanks.What is it you would like to    50     that isn’t happening? Perhaps the answer is that you are not yet    51    .Maybe you need more time to prepare before you are truly ready for that which you    52    .

         Think of today as another chance to   53    yourself for the exciting future you are looking for.Today is not wasted.If you desire more from    54    , then you can use today as training.For you will experience only what you are prepared to    55    .Something wonderful can happen.And you can use today to get ready for tomorrow.

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable   36  when I was teaching second grade 10 years ago.

In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our   37  together to come up with ideas of how to   38  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   39  to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   40  invited my own mother.

Finally, the big day arrived. Each child lined up at our classroom door,   41 the arrival of his or her mom.   42  it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t   43  up and he was looking upset.

I took my mother   44  the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was   45  if you could keep my mother   46  while I’m busy.”

My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy   47  my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   48  the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   49 .

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   50  and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if   51  was completed. When I came to Jimmy’s   52 , 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   53   his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran bark and gave me a big hug.

“Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t   54  it.”

I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who    55  stopped hugging teachers years ago.
