9、t closing time, and we waited in the warm shop until their bus finally arrived. I enjoyed my young friends, but it never occurred to me that I played an important role in their livesuntil one afternoon when a man came and asked if I was the girl working on weekdays around four oclock. He identified

10、himself as the father of two of my favorites. Iwant you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I worry about them taking two buses to get home.

11、t a big deal, and that I enjoyed the kids. So I was the Doughnut Lady. I not only received a title, but became a landmark. Now I think about all the people who keep an eye on my own children.

16、ion should be everything in lifeD.there are always no small acts of kindnessCGrowing up, I thought math class was something to be endured, not enjoyed. I disliked memorizingformulas(公式) and taking tests, all for the dull goal of getting a good grade. One of my teachers told my mother that I was slow

17、. But my problem wasnt with math itself. In fact, when a topic seemed particularly interesting, I would go to the library and read more about it.

18、 get an athletic scholarship to attend a Big Ten school. The chances of that happening were very low.
