It was her giggling(咯咯的笑)that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender, I asked for the . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet between teacher and student. When she finally it over, she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, , was working angrily as I struggled not to . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how this was for me. I told them there must be a reason and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
As I the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of my students, I had begun commanding them to . Where I thought I was driving them to success, I was driving them away.
I had some apologies to make. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the .

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs（突破）. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 1 he thought he was able to be so much more 2 than the average person.
He responded that it all came from a(n) 3 with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to 4 milk from the fridge when he 5 the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came in, 6 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful 7 you have made! I have 8 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 9 . Would you like to get down and 10 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge.
His mother then said, “ You know, what we have here is a 11 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 12 hands. Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can 13 .” The little boy learned that if he 14 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 15 !
This scientist then said that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be 16 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 17 for learning something new, which is, 18 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment “doesn't 19 ,” we usually learn something 20 from it.
