　　Dash of Hope

　　"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we've spent alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.

　　Recently I

　　about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn't help but feel it was not by

　　, nor happenstance（意外事件）, that she had been named "Hope". The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity

　　in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others.

　　I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.

　　a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being

　　that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However, when she found out that more than 150

　　in her area were waiting for their wishes to be achieved , she unselfishly used her wish to

　　that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done

　　January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her

　　request could not be granted as the funds were simply

　　dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish.

　　, but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring

　　to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually

　　as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51

　　the story of this caring young girl who had

　　the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in

　　money to help make Hope's dream come true.

　　Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only

　　, but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the

　　was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!

　　22．The story happened years ago，when my daughter was still little.

　　for a long time without a stop. Then after driving for many miles, I became tired and needed to stop for a break to get

　　I found a rest area. It was mostly deserted, in a quiet area of the highway. I parked the car and carried my

　　into the restroom. When I came out I saw a middle-aged

　　wandering around. Feeling

　　about that, I asked the lady. What

　　me was: they were waiting for us!

　　The lady told me that she and her husband wanted to see us safely back into our

　　. She explained that sometimes rest areas could be a

　　place for a young lady like me. She told me that she had a daughter almost my age, so they wanted to make sure that I got safely back on my way.

　　I was very touched by their

　　of rest areas, it had never occurred to me that there was any possibility of something going wrong. I

　　As educators, we often never know the

　　we have on our students. It is always wonderful to have ___35___ students visit us and share the successes they have achieved. And those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to ___36___ in the life of every child.

　　As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music ___37___ the soul. It can ___38___ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the ___39___ for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it.

　　For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach ___40___ students one afternoon a week. One of my most ___41___ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We ___42___ sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was “John the Rabbit.” It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students ___43___ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to ___44___ her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she ___45___ said or sang a word.

　　One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth in ___46___ and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart ___47___ started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also ___48___. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.

　　Several years later, I passed Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big ___49___ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had ___50___ so many times in our music class. This precious little girl, ___51___ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the ___52___ to learn and grow. It is up to us as educators to ___53___ the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s ___54___.
