"Sit down and be quiet!"Mrs. Hall shouted.
It was the norm (常态). Whenever she came to this class, she would always find the boys rowdy (吵闹的) and unruly. Miles, who was well-known for being noisy and never doing his homework, was especially a headache for Mrs. Hall. She tried to set him straight, but all her advice fell on deaf ears.
Mrs. Hall knew some of these students only put up a tough front to help them deal with life. She could tell deep down Miles was a good boy and always offered academic help whatever his attitudes.
Later Mrs. Hall had to quit her job because of her illness. On her last day there, as she said goodbye to the kids, she saw Miles cry.
Miles caught up as she left the classroom and said he would miss her.
Mrs. Hall handed him a round brass coin and comforted him, "This penny will surely bring you luck. I know you're a good boy and I believe in you. If only you could focus on your future, you would succeed in whatever you put your mind to. "Miles choked up and lost for words.
After Mrs. Hall left the school, she lived in a small town. Her illness had eaten up her life savings. She borrowed money from friends and family to pay for her treatment, and now, she was swimming in debt.
One day, Mrs. Hall was at home when she heard a car sound in front of her house. She looked out the window to see a white car parked there. She then saw a man get out of the driver's seat and start approaching her front door. She did not recognize him and wondered who he could be. A few seconds later, she heard a knock. She came to open the door.
"Hello, Mrs. Hall, I know you don't recognize me!" said the handsome young man.
"To be honest, I don't. Do I know you?"
"You should!" He laughed. "It's me! Miles! Remember your troublesome student at Spring Hill High School?"
"What? Is that you?"Mrs. Hall stared at Miles. "You've grown so tall and... and... "
"Handsome…?"
They both laughed, and after the initial shock died, Mrs. Hall invited Miles into her home.

They sat for hours as Miles explained how he had turned over a new leaf after she left.

Mrs. Hall was too excited to know what to say.
