One day a student went to see his teacher. He had been given an important position and now was coming to say goodbye to his teacher. The old man asked him how he would live among high officials. The student answered, “ I will be all right. I have prepared a hundred high hats, one for each official I will meet. I am sure I will succeed.” The teacher got angry on hearing this. “What?” he cried. “Is this what ten years of my teaching has made of you? Nothing but flatterer(拍马屁的人)?” “Excuse me, honored(尊敬的) master,” the student rose to his feet and apologized hurriedly. “But you have always been absorbed in your studies and don’t know how vulgar(庸俗的) the world has come to be. There are few men in the world who are above flatterers like you.” “There is something true in what you said,” the teacher nodded, smiling with one of the student’s “high hats” on.

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.
