A

Last year I was put into a lower-level math class at school. The reason had nothing to do with my math problems. I couldnt see well.

The only problem in this class was there were naughty students all around me. These were boys who didnt do well in school. Their home life was clearly different from mine， and they were constantly in trouble with the school.

I remember sitting at my desk one morning. We had already finished our lesson for the day， and the other boys began to talk about what they had done at the past weekend. I tried not to listen， but it was really impossible not to. Even though the teacher was in the room， that didnt stop my classmates from discussing the parties they had been to， and what exciting things they had done...

One Tuesday morning， I went to a meeting. There was a speaker talking to us about praying for our enemies （敵人）. I began to think about this and prayed for the boys in my class. I forgot that they werent good boys； they were just lost.

When I heard their voices in class， I would pray， “Dear God， please bless （保佑）...”As time went on， there was something growing inside my heart， something that wasnt there before. They began to feel like a family， and I was learning to love them in a way I never thought possible.

I now see that praying is such a powerful act. When I pray for those around me， it also blesses my life， and it changes my ideas of others.

After a car accident put me into the hospital， I felt very angry about a lot of the way my life was turning out.

One bright morning， I was awakened by sounds out in the hallway. Since I was still feeling sorry for myself， I didnt wake up in a pleasant mood. I pushed the button to call the nurse， and I saw a little boy in the hallway. A cast （石膏夾） completely covered his arm， from fingers to shoulder， but his face was covered with a smile. In his other hand， he was holding a teddy bear.

I heard his mother telling him to sit and wait until she was done. He looked over to me and I had the permanent （持久的） anger on my face， but he smiled at me. Then without warning， he came running to my bed and smiling at me. With his good arm， he held out his big brown teddy bear. It was missing an eye but I had to admit it was lovely. “This is Teddy. Hes still sick. He needs to stay here. Could you keep him here till he gets better？” he said.

I reached out and took Teddy from his hand. I promised I would take care of Teddy until the time he got better. I also promised to keep him from harm afterwards. Just then the little boys mother called him. He looked back at me and said， “Bye sir， bye Teddy” and ran out of the room. His mother smiled down at him and the nurse wheeled him away. I sat there hugging Teddy for the longest time. I will never forget what that little boy gave to me that day. It was so much more than a well-loved one-eyed teddy bear.
