When I was in the third grade, I wanted to be just like Mrs. Abshere. She always had a 　36for her students. She made us feel both special and wanted. I truly felt that Mrs. Abshere cared about me. Her patience and kindness helped me 　37 many hard times.

One day, after I got home, the police suddenly came and arrested (逮捕) my parents. I was 38 to death! I held on to my brother and sister as we were 　39 to a children’s home.

As my parents waited for their 　40 , my brother, sister and I waited in the children’s home. Soon days turned into weeks. When I was told that they would be in prison for six months, I 　41 on my bed and cried for hours. I was mad at the world and no longer saw any future for myself. Just at this very moment one of the girls came running up to me. “Hey, there’s a lady here to see you. I think it’s your mom.” Could it be true?

When I got to the end of the hallway, there stood Mrs. Abshere! She held her arms out to me. “Honey, I know 　42 is better than your mom, but I love you, too!” I hugged her and 　43 thanked God for bringing this angel thirty miles out of her way to see me.

As I 　44 Mrs. Abshere around the grounds, I began to feel 　45 again. I was so excited to show her off to all my new friends.

Two weeks later, I said good-bye to all my friends and moved across the state to live in another city with my grandparents.

Sixteen years later, I 　46 Mrs. Abshere, so that I could tell her how grateful (感激的) I was. When I found her, we had the most wonderful conversation. I felt so much 　47 telling her that I was only a year away from becoming a teacher myself. “Oh! That’s great. You can teach students in my room!” So, perhaps I will be returning to Mrs. Abshere’s classroom soon, only this time as a peer (同行) and a very grateful friend.
