About five years ago，I found myself working in a terrible middle school.  The hours were long and the work was boring. ________, the pay was low.  Every day the job seemed a physical ________ for me. My neck would burn with pain from the ________ bending.  My feet would ache from ________ the entire day.  The skin around my fingernails would ________ because of the work my hands were doing.  I tried to keep my ________ up while I worked there, but day by day I felt myself ________ down.  Every morning I would press sticking-plaster on my neck, place Band-Aid around my fingers and ________ my worn-out shoes.  And every night I would _______ myself home and fall onto the couch.
One evening I felt like I could________ it no more.  As I drove home alone, I said to myself.  “Why am I working myself here just to ________? Why couldn’t I find a better job than this? Why do I have to ________ this right now?”
I wasn’t really expecting a(n) ________, but life always loves to surprise us.  As I ________up the steps to my front door, I found my wife and my son waiting for me ________ smiling faces.  “Daddy, Daddy!” my son yelled.  I smiled and picked him up with my ________ arms.  Then after hugging and kissing him, I laughed for the first time in days and sat down ________.  At that time, I found the answer which would give me the ________ I needed to go on.
Eventually I moved on to a better school, but I________ forgot that answer, which had gently reminded me of the simple truth.  We may have to work to live, but we live to ________.  May you always fill your days with love and joy.
