As a teacher, my daily activity includes driving to a new school almost every day. On one particular day, I was teaching in a very 1 classroom. I was managing behavior all morning, and by lunch time I knew I needed a coffee to 2 the afternoon. So during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 3 , I realized I have locked my phone and my 4 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 5 , which was a good five-minute drive. If I ran back really quickly, I could 6 it. But it was winter, and a sudden fall on the ice would only make the situation much 7 . So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and 8 the man at the counter, who happened to be the 9 to call a taxi for me. After I 10 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone 11 I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 12 to my school at this point. A moment later, the manager 13 only to tell me that the line was 14 and that he had not been able to 15 the taxi yet. I think both 16 and fear could be seen in my face. Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 17 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 18 before the bell rang! This experience made me 19 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has a(n) 20 influence on those who receive them.
