By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children. I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me 1. I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.
The morning bell rang. I walked2through the cold into the overly heated school building. Twenty-two smiling faces3me at the school bus stop. I forced myself to4their smiles. Back into the classroom, they5, comparing plans for the6. I had to remove one student from each arm7I could take a seat at my desk for my morning duties. Before I could find my roll book(点名册) my desk was covered with8and gifts followed by a9of “Merry Christmas” wishes.
“Oh, thank you,” I must have 10a million times. Each gift was truly special to me, except my 11mood(情绪). It was kind of them to12me. After a while, I heard a small nervous13say my name. I looked up to see Brandon standing14by my desk, holding a small, round gift. “This is for you.”
“Thank you, Sweetheart.” I laid it on my desk with the others.
“Um, could you15it now?”
I gently tore at the paper and tape. “16,” he said, “it’s breakable.” Slowly I opened a small, green Christmas tree ornament(装饰物), complete with a hook already17. It dawned on me what he had done. Then a nearby student said that he just pulled that off his own tree. I tried to keep my18back.
Later that day, I sat19the ornament in my hands. Was I really so important to this child that he had searched for something to give me? Now every year as I20pull a green Christmas ball from my ornament box, I remember the deep influence my students have on me.
