I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was hopeless. I had to       Grade Six. At that time a new teacher, Miss Sadia, came to our school.

   One day after class, she noticed that I was staying alone during the lunch break. She came to me and began to talk to me. It was just a       conversation. After that day, she gave me particular attention and it made me feel special. I started to work hard because she gave me the feeling that       believed me, and my       started to improve in her subject.

   Months later, she moved into a house near my       . We would walk home together after school. Her constant support helped me, especially in my studies, as I knew she would        my grades both in her subject and the other subjects. I finally       second in my class.

   Then, after Grade Six, she started to slowly drift away（疏远）,       still kept a constant check on me. By the time I was in Grade Seven, we       spoke, but by then I had become the       in my class. When I left my school, I was out of touch with her, as she never answered the       when I called her.

   Then I graduated and went to a good university. One fine day, our paths crossed again. I met her at a wedding. I could not       asking her, "Why did you stop talking to me?" "You are a clever boy. I wanted you to be a tree standing on your       roots, not depending on others. Now here you are and I feel       of you. You are your inspiration(启发灵感的人) and do not need to       a shoulder." she said. I could not say anything, but I smiled. I'll always thank her .
