I’m always how sorrow and pain can bring such wonderful gifts as wisdom, patience and love. , we often get so caught up in the daily necessities and routines that we the very things that can bring us and teach us many valuable lessons.
I was hired to a very special lady. I was to prepare meals for her, make sure she took her medicine , do light housekeeping, and provide transportation to and from the market and her doctor’s appointments. All of these were important and necessary so that she could remain . Our focus was just that - her to remain living independently.
It was on a cold rainy night. She turned her little head and smelt her
pillow after she had got into bed. I observed tears running from her eyes. She said, “It’s been such a long time since I’ve had sheets; I love the of fresh clean sheets. I couldn’t the sheets myself anymore. Thank you so much for changing my sheets. ”
Such a simple as smelling clean sheets brought such great joy to her life. That was the day I unconditional care. The next day we sat down and what was important to her, what she liked, and how she had done things all these years. I never knew how much I would enjoy and learn from her her life experiences with me. She was the sunshine in my life.
I’m so for the lessons I have learned - the lessons I almost because I forgot to slow down to look and see the beauty that was right in front of me.

As educators, we often never know the influence we have on our students. It is always wonderful to have ___35___ students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to ___36___ in the life of every child.
As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music ___37___ the soul. It can ___38___ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the ___39___ for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it.
For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach ___40___ students one afternoon a week. One of my most ___41___ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We ___42___ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit.” It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students ___43___ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to ___44___ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she ___45___ said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in ___46___ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart ___47___ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also ___48___. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big ___49___ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had ___50___ so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, ___51___ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ___52___ to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to ___53___ the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s ___54___.
