It was her giggling that draw my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender, I asked for the 46 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet 47 between teacher and student. When she finally 48 it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
It was a hand-drawn 49 of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind, 50 , was working angrily as I struggled not to 51 . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some 52 to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself 53 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how 54 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason behind and now was their 55 to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently 56 I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
As I 57 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 afraid of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I 58 were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too 59 , too strict …
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of 60 my student, I had begun commanding them to 61 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was 62 driving them away.
I had some apology to do. But the next day I the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one 63 by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for 64 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the 65 .

I was really5!
I remember the buzz (嘈杂声) of excitement inside the theatre as we all found our6. After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became7. I could barely make out the stage in the8. We waited. Then there was a roar from the crowd, like an explosion, as the first members of the band9the stage. My brother leaned over and shouted something in my ear, but I couldn't10what he was saying. The first song was already starting and the music was as11a jet engine. I could12the drum beats and bass notes in my stomach.
I can't recall any of the songs that the band played. I just13that I really enjoyed the show and didn't want it to14. But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished. We left the15and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just16from a long sleep. My ears were still17with the beat of the last song.
After the18, I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music. Once in a while,19, I listen to one of their songs and20I'm back at that first show.
