School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very  1  of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me  2  out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the driver , tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of   conversation . I tried to mind my manners and  3   listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,  4  , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in   5 ,I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 6  the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 7   as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I was 8  . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great  9   that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to  10   that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was just her job. She had a whole world of   11  and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very selfish. I realized I had only thought of people as   12  as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie  13  she was a bus driver. I had  14  her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m just another person in someone else’s world, and may not even be   15  . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.
