I experienced great throughout my primary school because, in addition to the problems of with the other students, I also with most of my school work. I seemed to spend every spare moment doing homework just so I could .
for me, Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.
One morning, she asked the class a question. I her lips and immediately raised my hand. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and even my classmates. Although a little afraid when I heard my named called, I felt unusually because I was sure I had the right answer. I took a deep breath and answered Mrs. Jordan's question.
Her response all of us. Mrs. Jordan enthusiastically her right foot on the floor and turned her right hand around in a full circle it pointed directly at me. With shining eyes she cried, "THAT'S RIGHT, STEPHEN!"

Around 5:30 p.m., I was on the bus one day and everybody on the bus was quiet. People had just 36 from work, students had just finished their 37 class and everybody was a little 38 from a long day. It wasn't 
a particularly good day for me as I was feeling quite tired too. I was just looking outside of the 39 without any specific thought in my mind. It was the same 40 I had seen many times before, people hurrying home.
In front of me, there was a guy sitting in the seat who didn't look too clean. 41 he was looking out of the window, the guy suddenly 42 to me and pointed at something outside. "Hey, look." He had a big smile on his face. I turned to the 43 he was pointing to and there it was ---- the beautiful Catalina mountains burning with a beautiful 44 . The mountains were coated with bright pink light and shadows. He turned to other people on the bus and told them to look at the mountains. He 45
" Wow" and " It's so beautiful" again and again. Everybody on the bus 46 the views indeed.
The 47 view also helped me to 48 my long tiring day with a good feeling in my heart. But, more 49 , I was so inspired to see that this man wanted to 50 the beautiful view with everybody on the bus, total strangers. His 51 act made me accidentally find something that I had lost which I didn't even know I had lost. He made me 52 that I had lost the feelings and the excitement I 53 have every
day. In my daily life, many things had 54 their color and movement. But he 55 me that things are still there ---- they never get lost.
