Part Three
I stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students, waiting for the answer to our burning question: What type
of crazy tie would Mr. Miller be wearing today?
Our teacher walked around the corner with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant
coffee cup! Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts — a green elephant tie!
With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully, "Good morning, folks!" He was strange
and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.
I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But
when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of... Peter Paul
and Mary singing "If I Had a Hammer".
Snickers filled the room. If it wasn't rap or hip hop, we didn't recognize it. What were these people singing
about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening.
Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet
them with a joyful voice, "Good morning, class!" I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music
clothes I will wear each day.
I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher and I smile
to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on — as I've carried on the legacy of Mr. Miller.
One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone
into the pond of my life. I pray the ripples never end.

When I was leaving, I noticed she was still there, trying to get her card to ___5___.
It was obvious that the young woman was getting ___6___ about the purchase, so I offered to ___7___ it. She
was shocked that I had offered and she ___8___. She thanked me and I went on my way with a smile from her.
Everyone needs a ___9___ hand sometimes and you never know when it will be your ___10___. Today I
found that it was indeed my turn.
I went kayaking in the north of the city. It was a very hot, sunny day so I brought a ___11___ container of
sports drink, figuring it would be plenty to ___12___. However, I underestimated the effect that the ___13___
and humidity would have on me. Before I got back to the shore, I realized that I had ___14___ the bottle.

water fountain, I ___16___ my problem would be solved, but it wasn't working at all. So I swallowed my pride
and ___17___ a family picnicking nearby if they had an extra bottle of water.
Then they gladly gave me one. That bottle of water wasn't a big deal to them, but it made all the ___18___ to
me.
The little things that can be done for others don't usually seem significant for the people doing them, ___19___
they can be huge to the receivers. Let us give thanks to all the joyful ___20___ who don't hesitate about helping
