I had worried myself sick over Simon¡¯s mother coming to see me. I was a new ___21___, and I gave an honest account of the students¡¯ work. In Simon¡¯s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn¡¯t read his own handwriting. ___22___ he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension. His work in no way reflected his ___23___. ª¥

So when Simon¡¯s mother entered the room, my palms £¨ÊÖÕÆÐÄ£© were sweating. I was completely ___24___ for her kisses on both my cheeks. ¡°I came to thank you,¡±she said, surprising me beyond speech. ___25___ me, Simon had become a different person. He talked of how he ___26___ me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had ___27___ spent an afternoon at a friend¡¯s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the ___28___ I had nurtured £¨ÅàÑø£© in her son. She kissed me again and left. ª¥

I sat, stunned £¨¾ª´ô£©, for about half an hour, ___29___ what had just happened. How did I make such a life-changing difference to that boy without ___30___ knowing it? What I finally came to ___31___ was one day, several months before, when some students were ___32___ reports in the front of the class. Jeanne spoke ___33___, and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, ¡°Speak up. Simon¡¯s the expert on this. He is the ___34___ one you have to convince, and he can¡¯t hear you in the ___35___ of the room.¡±That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, ___36___ more, and became happy. And it was all because he ___37___ to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed ___38___ was the one who took the last seat that day. ª¥

It taught me the most ___39___ lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I¡¯m thankful that it came ___40___ and positively. A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
