21 to do with my intelligence. I am blind. The school 22that it would be better for me to learn at a lower level because it takes me a great deal longer to complete school tasks.
The only problem with being in this class was that I was 23by "at-risk" students, who did not perform well in school and were 24 in trouble with the school and the law. On Monday mornings, the kids talked about what they had done during the past 25 . I tried not to listen, but it was almost 26not to. I heard things in that classroom that shocked me. 27
the teacher was in the room, that didn't stop my classmates from 28their stories of drugs and violence.

I now see that praying is such a 37 act. When I pray for those around me, it also 38
my life, and it changes my understanding of others. I realized God's blessings enabled me to see the world through 39eyes. The prayers I said for others 40to help me the most.
