My family came to America in 1985. _21_ of us spoke a word of English. Each morning
I disliked going to school for fear of not __22__what people were saying.
Very soon my mother noticed something was__23__me. The pain and care I saw in her

I worked in a 17 doctor’s office and this was one of those days when the unexpected happened, making the schedule run 18 than usual.

I was heading inside to 22 for my gas when I noticed an older couple at the counter. I heard them asking for 23 to the local hospital. It was the same hospital that I had just _24_ a few minutes ago.
The young man at the counter was trying to be 25 in explaining how to get there, with two other people making 26 . One of them was 27 trying to give them a whole different route back. It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, “Would you like to follow me to the 28 ?”
A look of 29 crossed the woman’s face.
“I’m going right by there,” I said, which wasn’t a (an) 30 since I had just made up my mind to do 31 that.
I got in my car and began the journey back. I was trying to watch to be sure they were right 32 me. It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to 33 . I felt better than I had all day and my headache was nearly gone.
Later, as I arrived home, my husband 34 me, “So you aren’t ever late any more.”
I said, “Sometimes it’s 35 to be late.”
