Steve, a twelve-year-old
boy with alcoholic parents, was about to be
lost forever by the U. S. education system. Remarkably, he could read, yet, in spite of his
reading skills, Steve was failing.
He had been failing since first grade, as he was passed
on from grade to grade. Steve was a big boy, looking more like
a teenager than a twelve-year-old, yet, Steve went
unnoticed…until Miss White.
Miss White was a smiling, young, beautiful teacher.
For the first time in Steve's young life, he couldn't take
his eyes off his teacher;yet, still he failed.
He never did his homework, and he was always
in trouble with Miss White.
In the middle of
the first semester of school, the entire seventh
grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests, and continued to
dream of other things. His heart was not in school, but in the woods, where he often
escaped alone, trying to shut out
the sights, sounds and smells
of his alcoholic home.
One day, Miss White's
impatient voice broke into his daydreams. "Steve!!" Surprised, he turned to look
at her. "Pay attention!" Steve locked his gaze on Miss White with
adolescent adoration, as she began to go
over the test results for the seventh grade. "You all did pretty well," she told
the class, "except for
one boy, and it breaks my
heart to tell you this, but. . ." She
hesitated, pinning Steve to
his seat with a sharp stare, her eyes searching
his face. "…The smartest boy
in the seventh grade is failing my class!" She just stared at Steve, as the class spun
around for a good look Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his
fingertips. "Steve! Please! I care about you!" Miss White reminded
Steve with a louder voice.
Wow! Suddenly, Steve got
it!!Someone cared about him? Someone, totally
unattainable and perfect, CARED ABOUT HIM?

答案: Steve went home from school, thoughtful, that afternoon. Walking into the house, he took one look around and then quickly, gathered up his camping gear, a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, a bottle of water, and this time…his schoolbooks. Serious and determined, he made his way to the woods. Steve studied hard in the woods and finished all the homework for the weekend. Miss White, immediately, gave a quiz on the weekend homework. Steve hurried through the test, and was the first to hand in his paper. Surprisedly, Miss White took his paper. Apparently puzzled she started to look it over. Steve walked back to his desk, his heart pounding within his chest. Miss White's face was in total shock! She glanced up at Steve down and up. All of a sudden, her face beamed a radiant smile. The smartest boy had just passed his first test! A great change occurred within the heart of one boy, all owing to one teacher, who cared.
