I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
“Excuse me,”
I looked up and a nice-looking woman standing before me.

“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida,” she added.
I looked at that man for a few seconds but I didn’t recognize him.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,” I said.
She walked back, began with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.
I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I must know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.
“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could believe my eyes. “My God! He’s so thin now. Not the big boy that I from back in 1997.”
Everything came up to my mind. The time this boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.
“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin, shaking hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”
“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to say to him.

My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.
The first two there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang beautifully for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.
As we were singing on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer(老年痴呆症), most of them looked off at the walls or floor. However, one lady my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing, at least they didn’t like that. As we got with each song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. she was singing, she was also reaching out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my responsibilities(责任) were to my students. People who worked at the care center could attend to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.
Justin also the same lady. The difference between us is that he acted on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song,Silent Night, Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her eyes and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my to let you know that.”
This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with the other hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No words can completely describe that touching moment.
It took a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin’s example of a complete, selfless attitude(态度) toward another was a that I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself to have witnessed(目击) his lesson.
