After years of experience, Brenda was faced with a challenge in Sunday School．However, she just didn’t know how to  1  it in a good way．She had never been asked to teach a child quite like Cindy!

       Cindy, you see, was  2  ．She came from a broken home．And although she was really  3 , she thought she was so bad that she could not be successful． 4  , Cindy needed care, and most of all, Cindy needed love! There just had to be a way of  5  her．Day after day, Brenda would pray for Cindy, yet Sunday would come and go and she saw  6  , if any, change．

       Then one day Brenda asked Cindy if she could 7  a role in a Christmas programme the children were  8 to do．Cindy’s answer was, “Don’t you think you can find someone better than me?”

       “Better than you?” came Brenda’s  9  ．“What makes you think there is  10  better than you?”

       “Well, I’ve  11  been asked to do anything before because I’m not good．I won’t get the  part  12  and then everyone will be mad at me for messing up（弄糟）their  13  ,” came Cindy’s answer．

       “Oh, Cindy,” said Brenda in a  14  voice．“I am so  15  that you think that, but you are so wrong．Don’t you realize how  16  you are?”

       “No,”  17  a reply in a low voice because Cindy was now in  18  ．

       “But Cindy, in my eyes, you are special and you can also do something well like others,” Brenda said．

       “Really? Do you think so really? Thank you, Miss Brenda! Nobody has believed in me like you． 19  I’ll have a try,” said Cindy as she   20  a hug from her teacher for the first time!

Mr. Hadley was my 6th grade teacher. I was a tall thin girl weighing barely a hundred pounds. I ended up taking a lot of  36 especially from the boys, because of my appearance. I became an extremely  37 young lady.

One day  38 in the 6th grade class was told by Mr. Hadley that we would be  39 to stand up in front of the class and read the  40 that we had completed.

When my turn came, I  41 to stand up in front of all those students and  42 to their tricks. Mr. Hadley came over to me and again  43 me to read my report. I gave it back to him. He walked to the front of the  44 and said, "Yvonne has a very good report here and I think everyone  45 to hear her read it. If I hear anyone making  46 noises or making fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. Understood?"

Mr. Hadley walked back to me and  47 me the paper, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked to the front of the class on legs  48 were shaking and I felt a(n)  49 in my chest. Everyone were all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to gain  50 .

Mr. Hadley walked over to me putting his arm around me, "You can do it. I have  51 in you!" His words helped calm me. I  52 the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and  53 me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.

From that day on the kids never made fun of me again and some  54 made friends with me. I continued to be quite shy all through school  55 from that day on I knew if I had to stand up in front of class again. I could do it.
