From the time I lined up my dolls on the sofa in playschool, I wanted to be a teacher. “Open your books,” I would 41 my teddy bear and dolls. Then I would 42 teach them whatever new things I had just 43 at school. For me, dream was one thing, and 44 was quite another. My family was too poor to 45 my tuition. Finally, with others’ help, I attended a state university. However, I 46 needed more money to pay for my other expenses, so I found a part-time job, 47 test tubes in the science department.

We want someone older - with more 52 .” I cried all the way to work, disappointed and 53 . Suddenly, a stranger who I met by chance asked me what had happened. I told him how much I wanted to 54 and how upset I was to be 55 because of my age. Then I also shared some of my thoughts with him. He 56 me, “Never lose heart. I believe you can make it.” The next morning my phone rang. It was the principal calling to offer me the 57 position. I was totally 58 and asked him why. He explained, “You made quite an impression on the chairman of our Board of Directors. He 59 that you should have this position.” A few weeks later, I stood by the door of my classroom, welcoming my 60 on their first day of school.
