I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. My teacher’s last 36 of the term was called “ Smile”. I am a very friendly person and always 37 at everyone. So I thought this would be very 38 .
Soon after we were given the project, my 39 went out to McDonald’s. We were waiting to be 40 , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to 41 , and even my husband did. There standing behind me were two homeless men 42 .
As I looked down at the short gentleman with 43 eyes, he said, “Good day.” The second man stood behind his friend. I 44 the second man was mentally challenged(智障) and the blue-eyed gentleman was his helper.
The young 45 at the counter asked him what they wanted.
He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” Because that was all they could 46 .
I smiled and asked the young lady to give me two more breakfast meals on a 47 tray(托盘). I then said to the men, “ I did not do this for you. God is here 48 through me to give you hope.”
When I joined my husband, he smiled at me, saying, “That is 49 God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.”
I returned to 50 with this story in hand. I 51 “my project” and the teacher read it. Then she looked up at me and said, “Can I 52 this with the class?”
I slowly 53 and she began to read and that was when I knew that we, as human beings, share this to help people and to be 54 .
In my own way I had 55 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.
