I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 36 Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 37 ?" Just when I started to 38 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women 39 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 40 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t 41. Somebody had thought 42 of me to bring me a gift.

Finally the 51 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 52 up the room. The 53 in the room was obvious, and 54 wasn’’t just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I knew 55 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.
