During the years when I was a teacher, I learned a lot of things. Perhaps the most important one was the life-changing 16 of encouraging words.
I 17 what Leo Buscaglia had done with his students in University of Southern California. In one class Leo Buscaglia and his students had made two lists of18 , one positive and one negative. Then they 19 the negative words in the trash and tried to use only the 20 words for one month. They were 21 at how much better their lives became just by using words full of 22 .
I decided to try this as well by 23 something good to write on each paper my students 24 . No matter how many mistakes a student’s paper 25 , there was always a 26 sentence, beautiful thought, or a great idea that I could 27 on. I remember glancing over my desk and 28 some of the students reading those encouraging words 29 . It was a joy seeing their eyes shine a little brighter, their 30 sit up a little straighter, and their learning climb a lot 31 .
I recently saw one of my 32 students and we talked for a while. He has got married, and has two children now. As I was saying goodbye, he said, “You know I 33 have a few of those old papers. I look at them from time to time. I just 34 my kids have a good teacher like you.” I was amazed at the 35 those few positive words had on his life.
May your own life be forever full of encouraging words in your ears, from your lips and in your heart.

Before my recent graduation, the last project of the term was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out and 36 at three people and record their 37 .
Soon after we were given the38 , my husband and I went out to McDonald’s one cold morning. We were standing in 39 , waiting to be40 , when suddenly everyone around us began to back away. A feeling of 41 rose up inside of me as I wondered what happened.
As I 42 around I smelled a horrible dirty smell. Behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked at the short man close to me, he was smiling and his blue eyes searched for 43 .
He said “Good day” as he 44 the few coins. The waitress asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss.” That was all they could 45 .
