I will never forget the year I was about
twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be 36
Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad
and thought, "What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd 37
?" Just when I started to 38 that there would
not be a Christmas that year, three women 39 at our
house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense
of 40 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed
when I returned to school. I wasn't 41. Somebody had
thought 42 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of
my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 43
Christmas there special and memorable, I 44
remembered the women's visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same
feeling of 45 for as many children as I could
possibly reach.
So I 46 a
plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125
orphans (孤兒) at the
Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with
toys, clothes, and school supplies, 47 with a child's
name. We wanted all of them to know they were 48 . Before I
called out their names and handed them their gifts, I
49 them that they couldn't open their presents
50 every child had come forward. Finally the
51 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One,
two, three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages,
their faces beamed and their bright smiles 52 up the
room. The 53 in the room was obvious, and
54 wasn’'t just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I
knew 55 that Christmas so long ago when the women
came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.
