My class and I visited Chris Care Center in Phoenix, Arizona to comfort the old people who needed a little cheering up during the holiday season.

The first two 13 there were for persons requiring help in taking care of themselves. We sang 14 for them. They loved our sweet songs and the flowers that we left with them.

As we were 15 on the third floor for old people with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症), most of them 16 off at the walls or floor. However, one lady 17 my eye. She was sitting by the door, in a wheelchair, singing songs to herself. They weren’t the songs that we were singing; at least they didn’t 18 like that. As we got 19 with each festive song, she did as well. The louder we got, the louder she got. 20 she was singing, she was also 21 out to us with her hands and body. I knew that I should have gone over to her, but I thought that my 22 were to my students. People who worked at the care center could 23 to her, I thought. Just when I stopped feeling 24 about not giving her the attention she needed, one of my students, Justin, showed me what the holiday season is really about.

Justin also 25 the same lady. The difference between us is that he 26 on her needs, but I didn’t. During the last song, “Silent Night,” Justin walked over to her and held her hand. He looked this aged lady in her 27 and with his actions said, “You are important, and I will take my 28 to let you know that.”

This tired, elderly lady stopped singing and held his hand. Then she touched his cheek with 29 hand. Tears began to fall down her face. No 30 can completely describe that touching moment ...

It 31 a boy to teach me, a man, about kindness and love. Justin’s example of a complete, selfless attitude toward another was a 32 that I will never forget. He was the teacher that day, and I consider myself lucky to have witnessed his lesson.
