Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I’ve been 1 by a “graduated ”student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.
He hasn’t physically changed much since 2 my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first. I wouldn’t have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3 in the beginning of last year. He would often 4 to go to the bathroom, and he’d talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5 in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.
I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been 6 nightmares(噩梦)about his border-crossing experience. He was 7 that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their 8 . And here he was in my class trying to learn a(n) 9 language, which he had never touched before.
When he was in my class, one thing that stood out was that he had a(n) 10 time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm, 11 boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even 12 to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English. He told me he remembered doing sign language and the video I made to help him 13 his English.
His visit 14 a lot to me not only because he has made great progress, but also because it reminded me what it means to be a teacher ----- to have a lasting influence on 15 .
