Miss Bailey taught us English in middle school. She always cycled to school, and then when entering the school gate, she would give her bicycle to anyone of us to park it for her. It was a privilege(特权) when Miss Bailey gave her bicycle to you. One day, Jack stood at the gate. He was a hunchback(驼背的人).
We laughed and said, "Move out of the way, Jack! Miss Bailey is going to enter! Miss Bailey rode in and we all rushed to offer hands to her But Miss Bailey looked past us all. "Will you park it for me? she asked We looked back to see who it was and were surprised to see it was towards Jack. "l don 't think so, Miss Bailey!" Said Jack. "why? You lazy boy! "said Miss Bailey playfully(调皮地]. "You don't want to help your teacher, do you? "Of course I want to, Miss Bailey! "said Jack "But I might drop your bicycle." "If you drop it, you pick it up" said the teacher with a smile.
Then she gave her bicycle to Jack and didn't look to see how he'd manage. With confidence in his abilities,
Miss Bailey turned and walked to class. We watched Jack as he held her bicycle. We held our breath as we thought it was going to fall. Jack refused our help. It seemed that his hump(驼背) disappeared as he drew himself to his full height, and then with growing confidence he pushed Miss Bailey's bike to the parking area. We all rushed to class when the school bell rang. Jack was the last to enter, but we were surprised. It was a different boy who walked in.
Miss Bailey didn't even look at him as he waked to her and handed her the keys. From that day on, Jack was always ready to answer questions in class and his grades went up quickly. Miss Bailey's trust and special teaching methods gave Jack plenty of confidence, so he could change his attitude towards life and study. Confidence is really important in everyone's growth and it can help a person overcome difficulties and believe in himself.
