As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 200l, when I rode in a hot air balloon on my birthday. I thought it would be exciting, but the 36 turned out to be uninteresting. We went up directly high in the air and right back down, moving around very 37 . During that time, I hoped I could skydive(延缓张伞跳伞)some day and my husband encouraged me. So when I heard there was a chance to let my dream come true, I decided to 38 it.

Being up 46 the sky and looking at the view(景色)below was un like anything I have ever felt, much better than the hot air balloon.

I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula, Uklan. From the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail(钉子) I 36 out of old boards.
I got my first real job, at JM’s Restaurant in town when I was 12. My main responsibilities were clearing up tables and washing dishes, but 37 I helped cook.

Because of my 40 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local(当地的) Tastee Freez. This made me feel 41 .
Word that I was hardworking and trustworthy(讲诚信) 42 around the town. A local clothing store offered me a credit card 43 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately bought a $68 sport coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was 44 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed(欠) the store—keeper $90! So I learned gradually the danger of easy credit. I paid 45 as soon as I could.

But I quickly discovered there was a lot of 37 for teaching jobs. Finally my father suggested that I interview at a school in a very small town. The position there was for an English teacher! I went to the interview to 38 my dad. To my surprise, the headmaster offered me the job immediately. I accepted it because I needed a job.
When I arrived at the school in the fall, there was a new headmaster. He didn’t know 39 I was! Then I learned that I had to create a curriculum(课程)for each of my five classes. I didn’t know where to start. I was also asked to coach basketball and be the school drama(戏剧)director. And I had 40 taken a drama class! This was a little school, but it was a 41 job.
During my first year, I almost lived at school. I worked hard creating lesson plans and holding basketball and play practices. Many students came from single-pare nt families. A lot of them didn’t 42 about school. Some of them were at our school because they had been kicked out of other schools. I felt very young and inexperienced.
Even though I didn’t have much experience, I was full of encouragement and love. And that’s what I gave my students. I tried to make my classes fun and interesting. Once my students knew that I 43 teaching them, they behaved better. My students became so dear to me that I couldn’t imagine teaching 44 else. I remember one student couldn’t 45 breakfast. So I always gave him some bread on his way out of my class. He 46 all of his classes but mine. I think it was because I took the time to show him I 47 cared.
Now when I think of my first teaching job, I have many pleasant stories. And even though the job took a lot out of me, it was really an unforgettable experience in my life.

I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 42 lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s promise.

I thought you’d love to 47 this story.
Yours,
