“Scotty!” Mr. Brown, my Year 11 English teacher, called me by my nickname (绰号) across the classroom. His eyes were bright and a secret 1 was half hidden behind the beard.
Once he finished joking over my unbearable 2, I realized he was going to read my story aloud to the class. I turned red, feeling at once both embarrassed and 3. I had my very 4 reading audience! Though my classmates were a ‘passive audience’, it didn’t weaken my feeling of being 5.
After that, I came to 6 those Year 11 English classes. Throughout school I had always studied hard and achieved well in my school subjects. But creative 7 was a passion, and it was not an assignment, but a way of understanding the world and of 8 my thoughts and feelings about events and attitudes.
Mr. Brown was the first to 9 me for my writing so openly. My scores were always 19/20 or 20/20. My stories were often read out to the class. He even 10 one with the respected Head of English teachers, which was the most 11 part that is impressed on my memory. But 12 that, he offered a belief in me that no other teacher had.
My school 13 often stated, ‘Candice is a quiet achiever.’ I thought it was meant as a(n) 14 for being hard-working. I was someone that no one really 15 before, but Mr. Brown managed to 16 all that by bringing me to the attention of the world. Though it was the relatively 17 world of school, it put the seed of belief in myself that some day I could be an 18 person rather than the person who faded into the background.
I 19 touch with my teacher long ago, as we do when we move away from the school system and enter life. I wish I could tell him now how much he 20 me.
