“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I was faced with disappointment. “If you      on, one day something      will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that      ahead.”
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had decided to      for a job in radio, then      my way up to sports announcer. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station--    got turned down every time. In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring a(n)      person. So I went home to Dixon, Illinois.
While I was          what to do, my father said Montgomery Ward had      a store and wanted a local         to manage its sports department. The job sounded just      for me. But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best.” Mom
      me. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.
Stepping out of his office with a broken heart, I asked      , “How can a     get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station.” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard the director calling, “What was that you said about      ? Do you know anything about      ?” I nodded. Then he stood me before a      and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game. I did a 15-minute build-up, and was told I would be      Saturday’s football game!
On my way home, as I had done many times since, I thought of      words: “If you carry on, ...” I often wonder what direction life might have      if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.

Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not   36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much   37 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated   38   at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing   39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the   40 and seeing an ugly and hunchback(驼背).
My friends found me   41 because I didn’t let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life   42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would
43 me. That’s when I first heard your voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” you asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No   44 .”
“I bet they’re playing games and make friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our   45 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(处境)—until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, you saw my   46 . She just stared.
My heart   47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would   48   me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know why your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be   50 . I begged in my heart for her to   51 , but you just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered   52 .
She bent and whispered in my ears.
“Your back is bunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was   53 . I looked into your eyes and her   54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to   55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind – hearted friend.

You may have heard of Osceola McCarty, an 88-year-old woman in Mississippi who had worked for over 75 years as a    36    woman.
One day after she retired, she went to the bank and discovered that her small monthly   37    had grown to over＄150,000. Then to everyone’s surprise, she turned around and   38    almost all of the money to the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) for a   39   fund for students with financial needs. Immediately, she made national   40 .
What you have not heard is how Osceola’s gift had   41   my life. I am 19 years old and the first   42   of an Osceola McCarty Scholarship.
I was a   43   student, and I was determined to go to USM. But I   44   being qualified for a regular scholarship by one point on the entrance exams, and a scholarship was the   45   way I could attend.
One Sunday, I came across the story in the paper about Osceola McCarty and her generous    46 . The next day I went to the financial aid office, and they told me there was still no money   47   for me, but if anything came up they’d call.
A few days later, I was going out with my mother   48   the phone rang. I was told I had been chosen to be given the first Osceola McCarty Scholarship. I was   49 !
McCarty worked hard her whole life, washing clothes by hand. Now that she is   50 , she sits most of the day and reads the Bible, that is, when she is not getting rewards. Every time I go to visit her, she has a new    51 . She’s even gone to the White House. She is so happy and proud. We have tried to talk her into getting a VCR (录像机) so she can tape the programs and see   52   on TV—she just smiles.
McCarty gave me much more than a scholarship. She taught me about the gift of   53 . Now I know there are good people in the world who do good things. She worked hard and helped others, and in turn she has inspired me to   54   when I can some day. So   55   I plan to add to her scholarship fund.
