Question

    I’d done it before, so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my _______ trip, I'd bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my _______ and, of course, a lot of great memories.

The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to _______ the homes of those in need. My group was to help a family to change a fire-damaged dining room into a bedroom. No sooner had we _______ on the home's dirt driveway than we saw a ( n) _______ little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the family's temporary home. _______ and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I'd ever seen, she _______in delight, " Ma, Ma, they really came!" A little distance behind the girl was a woman in a wheelchair. She was her _______ and the girl's name was Dakota, which we soon learned.

Over the following days, a few times, I _______ talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always __________ around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.

By our final day,__________, this was about to change.

When talking with her grandmother, I __________ something I hadn⁹t seen before—Dakota was hiding behind the wheelchair. After a while, __________, she stepped into view, and slowly, she began walking toward me and handed me a piece of folded __________. Once it was unfolded, I looked at the drawing she'd made. It was of two girls—one much taller than the other—and they were __________hands side by side. She told me it was supposed to be me and her, and on the bottom of the paper were three little words, “Please don't leave! ” ，which instantly __________ my heart.

By early afternoon, we finished Dakota's __________, and I gladly used the rare free time to listen to her stories about the struggles she and her family went through daily. I began to realize how __________ my life was.

I left for home early the next morning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans. But because of Dakota, I brought back __________ else, too—a greater appreciation for all and the blessings of my life. I'll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big __________.
