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 and waiter.
I went to work feeling   36   . And to make matters worse, I was busy that evening. It' s the same thing over and over again.  37  with customers who complain about their food andwhere they are  38  is too big or too small. Little things like that tend to  39 a lot of us  40  but we manage to deal with it.
Three elderly ladies walked in and sat by the windows. It happened to be the very   41   near where I keep the dirty   42 in the boxes. Trying to keep up with all the dirty tables, customers leaving and coming in and   43  running all over the house, it was crazy．  44   these elderly women were watching   45  I was working to make sure every table was clean and ready for the next customers.
When they   46   their meals, I took their plates back to the kitchen. They talked to me for a while about school, how I was doing, what   47  I was in and what I planned to do in the future.
 48  they were leaving, they walked past me and one of them said to me in a  49  and gentle voice, “You are going places.（你前途无量） And that was it.” They left the  50  and I had tears in my eyes, because they gave me  51  to believe in myself．They   52   my spirit from being down and gave me a   53  to keep on working hard.
People used to tell me that I couldn’t have a career in    54   until I had a degree. I'm now a co-anchor (联合主持人) of a student-produced television  55  . And the best thing is: I'm only 17 years old and I am a senior in high school.
