And I frequently asked God for direction. But nothing changed until midterm, 【小题8】  Mary Anne, a student teacher, was appointed to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie    【小题9】  (include), adored her. With her frequent     【小题10】  (courage), Donnie became confident.
