For a few years, I have been wearing a ring on my right hand. It’s not always the 16 ring, but it’s always a ring that has 17 on it so that when I look at it, I’m 18 or reminded of something important. I have made a 19 of buying rings like this whenever I see one in a store. Sometimes I give them away as 20 to someone like Jennie.
I first met Jennie in the 21 waiting room and we had talked several times. One night I sat down beside her and 22 how her son was doing because I knew that he was in very 23 condition. She told me that she didn’t know what to do any more because it seemed none of the 24 from the doctors was good. They weren’t at all sure her son was going to 25 the accident that had hurt him so badly. With 26 in her eyes she said, “They’re 27 my hope.”
I knew then that it was 28 just a coincidence that I was wearing the ring that I had on that day. As she 29 to talk, I 30 slipped the ring off my finger and placed it in Jennie’s hand. I told her to wear it to remember that God loved her and He would be with her 31 all of this. 32 Jennie looked down at the ring, she got excited and then held it tightly, 33 the word written on the ring was “HOPE”.
The last day I was at the hospital, I saw Jennie in the distance as I got on the lift. She 34 and held up the hand with the ring on it as she called out to me saying, “Look, I 35 have Hope!”

I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no 41in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to42. Although we lived “in”, 43made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.

The new ones always went wild 46, but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like _47; never did we have to 48_“ stand up”, “ sit down”, “ speak out”. I don’t49one student who didn’t try his best.
