Ring! Ring! Ring! It was early in the morning. Though I knew who was 1 , I unwillingly reached for the telephone. I was a new supply instructor (代课老师) struggling to support my young family. Each morning I waited for a call that would take me to a different 2 that day. The last three of them had all been intended to 3 the teacher and see just how much bad4 he/she could deal with. I had responded by being 5 and angry with the students. I didn't really want to go to work that morning then, 6 since it was my birthday.
Still, I answered the phone and took the job. My family needed the money and I couldn't7 to be picky(挑剔的). As I was driving to work, however, I decided that I was going to8 again to be the best teacher I could be. 9 school started, the students treated me as their former teachers and once again were ready to see what they could 10 . This time, though, I was still firm (严格的)but 11 with them. I did my best to make the lessons fun. I shared smiles, 12 their hard work, and encouraged their efforts. The effect was amazing. My uncontrollable classroom was soon13 . Students were laughing and learning and I finally felt like I was doing my job14 . I went home happily and enjoyed the rest of my birthday with my family.
Every day we are given another 15 to get things right, to live our lives with love and joy, and to make this world a better place. Every morning arises and begins once again to be the best of you.
