Question

You Are Going Places

       One day I came home from school, changed my clothes and got ready for work．I work at a local restaurant in town as a cashier, seater and waiter．

       I went to work feeling  31   . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening．It' s the same thing over and over again． 32  with customers who complain about their food and where they are  33  is too big or too small．Little things like that tend to  34  a lot of us  35  but we manage to deal with it．

       Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows．It happened to be the very  36  near where I keep the dirty  37  in the boxes．Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and  38  running all over the house, it was crazy． 39  these elderly women were watching  40  I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers．

       When they  41  their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen．They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what  42  I was in and what I planned to do in the future．

       43  they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a  44  and gentle voice, "You are going places．And that was it．They left the  45  and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me  46 to believe in myself．They  47  my spirit from being down and gave me a  48  to keep on working hard．

       People used to tell me that I could not have a career in  49  until I had a degree．I'm now a co-anchor （聯(lián)合主持人）of a student-produced television  50  . And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school．
