Several years ago, when I was teaching at a middle school, a girl sent me a message. She found someone write a very bad message on her locker (储物柜). She took a picture and then sent it to me1help.
A few hours later, I noticed that she had posted that picture on her Instagram (照片墙) and asked if anyone2who did that.
The following day, that girl came to me with a boy. She showed me a3she had received. It was a heartfelt apology. I asked her if she knew who had done it, and the boy replied embarrassedly, "It was me. I don't know why I did it, but I know it was4. So I wrote her this note. I5 wanted to do something to try to make up for my action."
My heart felt so full of pride for this boy. I told him how6he was to come forward and how amazing it was that he did something kind to correct his mistake. I7the girl and asked her if she could forgive him. Without thinking, she said, "Yes."
Middle school students are not little children any more, but not grown-ups yet. It is normal that they make mistakes because of their8. However, when the girl was in9, she bravely came forward, and the boy came forward to correct his mistake in time. They both10bravery and kindness. Although I was a teacher, my students really taught me a lot.
