In the summer before I entered middle school, I read the book They Cage the Animals at Night. It’s a story about Jennings, a boy living in various orphanages(孤儿院)with only his stuffed animal(毛绒玩具), Doggie, for companionship. It’s a fascinating book, but little did I know how it would _______ my life and the lives of others.
One day, as I looked across my room at the pile of stuffed animals, a(n) _________ came to me. I would _________ stuffed animals for children like Jennings. _________ , I contacted agencies that support those children and they said the stuffed animals would certainly _________ children’s spirits.
I named my project “Cuddle Buddies”. I wrote articles for the local and school newspapers, _________ donations of the “buddies”— stuffed animals. My phone _________ ringing; schools, families, and toy factories all wanted to help. Much to my _________ , by the second week my living room looked like a zoo. Whenever Mom and I _________ the “buddies” to the agencies, the kids would be waiting there with their eyes down, too ____________ to look but shaking with excitement.
Six years after its launch, Cuddle Buddies continues to ____________ . Now over 25,000 stuffed animals have been ____________ to agencies worldwide. Simon, a seven-year-old boy in an African Children’s Home, couldn’t sleep at night after he lost his parents. When asked to choose his “buddies”, Simon ____________ a panda and soon after was sleeping through the night. I never dreamed Cuddle Buddies would ____________ this way.
Upon graduating from high school, I designed a website, www.cuddlebuddies.net, to ____________ the project. The response was ____________ . More and more people joined me and two dozen Cuddle Buddies ____________ were established across the nation.
This has been a great experience. I’ve learned how to follow through on an idea and how to ____________ impact a life. I will go to college with these ____________ in mind and continue my work with Cuddle Buddies, even when I ____________ a whole new set of exciting academic and nonacademic pursuits.
