I had graduated from college with a degree in education. But I still couldn' t find a(n) 1 teaching job. I waited for the phone to ring so I could 2 work as a replacement. One day I would be teaching high school science and the next day I would be 3 with kindergarteners on a playground. This time I was in a local grade school as a(n) 4 for a 5th grade teacher for the day. Determined not to let my time simply 5 , I went over the lesson plans and stayed 6 with the students, smiling and encouraging them. I was determined to 7 the great teachers I' d had when I was a boy and not the critical ones who always left me 8 bad.
At the end of the day just as they were leaving the room a girl handed me a 9 note. I waited until they were all gone before I opened it. It was a lovely drawing full of 10 wonder and a note that said: " You are the best teacher I have ever had!" My mouth fell open in 11 . It really amazed me that my kind 12 had touched that girl' s heart so deeply. I took that note home and put it in a folder. Anytime I was feeling 13 I would look at it and it always made me smile.
That experience showed me the 14 that a single kind word can have on a life. I never saw that girl again, but I 15 that her life has been full of kind words and loving people. And I continue to try my best each day to let love and kindness live through my words and my life.
