I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old.
My mother told us that we would not be 1 Christmas gifts because there was not enough
money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked
what I'd 2?"
Just when I started to 3 that there would not be a Christmas that year,
three women turned up at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they
brought a doll. I felt such a sense of 4 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed
when I returned to school. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody had thought 5 of
me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house,
thinking how I wanted to make my first Christmas there special and memorable, I
6 remembered the women's visit. I decided that I
wanted to create that same feeling of 7 for as many children as I could possibly
reach.
So I 8 a plan and gathered forty people from my
company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans(孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every
child, we wrapped colourful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school
supplies, 9 with a child's name. We wanted all of them to
know they were 10.
Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 11 them that they couldn't open their presents
until every child had come forward. Finally the 12 they had been waiting for came as I called
out, "One, two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened
their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 13 up
the room. The joy in the room was obvious, and 14 wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling—the
feeling I knew 15 that Christmas so long ago when the women came
to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.
