I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. My teacher’s last 26  of the term was called “ Smile”. I am a very friendly person and always  27  at everyone. So I thought this would be very  28.

Soon after we were given the project, my  29  went out to McDonald’s. We were waiting to be  30, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to  31 , and even my husband did. There standing behind me were two homeless men  32 .

As I looked down at the short gentleman with 33  eyes, he said, “Good day.” The second man stood behind his friend. I  34  the second man was mentally challenged(智障) and the blue-eyed gentleman was his helper.

The young  35  at the counter asked him what they wanted.

He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” Because that was all they could 36 .

I smiled and asked the young lady to give me two more breakfast meals on a 37  tray(托盘). I then said to the men, “ I did not do this for you. God is here  38  me to give you hope.”

When I joined my husband, he smiled at me, saying, “That is 39  God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.”

I returned to 40  with this story in hand. I 41  “my project” and the teacher read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “Can I  42  this with the class?”

I slowly  43  and she began to read and that was when I knew that we, as human beings, share this to help people and to be 44 .

In my own way I had  45  the people at McDonald’s, my husband, sons, teacher, and every person that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.
