I moved to Arizona about two weeks before the start of my junior year of high school. Not only was this a new school for me but also a new state, ______ I did not know anyone.
During lunch on the first day of school, I sat down at a(n) ______ table in the canteen. As I began to eat, I looked around and saw a girl who was also sitting alone. I decided to ______ with her, thinking there was no reason for me to have a whole table to myself, and maybe I could ______ a friend. I walked to her and said, “Excuse me, do you ______ if I sit with you?” She was ______ at first, but then smiled and said, “Sure!”
After that, we became close friends throughout the next two ______. In our senior year, she told me that she'd been ______ by a college and would be moving away after graduation. I was sad, and I knew I would ______ her. But at the same time, I was really ______ for her.
She then shared a(n) ______ with me. “Do you remember the first day of school when you ______ and sat down with me during lunch?” she asked.
“I want you to know how special you are and how much of a ______ you made.”
“I was very ______ that day and even made detailed plans on how I was going to ______ myself I was bullied(欺凌) for the whole first half of the day, and it had just ______ me down. But when you reached out, it ____ me. If you hadn't done that, I would have probably killed myself when I got home. I might be hard to ____, but you saved my life, and all it took was being a friend,”
It has been almost 15 years since this incident. Isil chat with her occasionally on Facebook. I can't help but ______ every time. It showed me that a simple kind act has the incredible ______ to change lives.
