A
Teacher's Gift
That
day I arrived at my class in the morning. Immediately I felt upset and
uncomfortable. Today was the day when our teacher would leave and move to
another school.
Mr.
Smith was very easy to talk with and to have fun with. He was cool, relaxed,
and was always friendly when you would see him. I couldn't even imagine how
things were going to be without him.
"Thank you everyone for my time here. I
will forever keep these memories and friendships I've made in the past five
years. "He took a deep breath and said, "As a moment for me leaving,
please look under your seats."
Confused,
I slowly checked under my seat to see a yellow block of wood that read "Love"
on it. I quickly got it and began to study it. After seconds of watching the block,
I realized that it was a Jenga block.
Tears
ran down my face and fell on the Jenga block. I heard my classmates sobbing (抽泣). That was to say, everyone in my, class had a Jenga block with the
word "Love". We hadn't found a way to express our sadness and also we
couldn't find a way to express our love to the respectable man. "This is a
reminder to always love others," Mr. Smith said slowly.
Maybe
that day wasn't the worst day, and it was just a moment of my life and I was
too young to understand Mr. Smith. What Mr. Smith taught us is that whenever
and wherever we are, we should love others. The Jenga block acts as a reminder,
encouraging me to give a hand to those in need of help. As time goes on, "Love"
others has been a habit.
