This was our time,our senior year. My best friend Beth and I had big dreams…But in my world of “big dreams” this one small freshman did not appear on my radar(关注范围). My best friend Beth was the first to her.
“Kristi,did you see the girl standing by us in the lunch line --- she looks so ,so out of place.” We had heard of a family that had just to our town from the country of Cambodia. We knew there was supposed to be a girl at our school from that family,but we had yet to meet her until now.
Leourn was a small dark-haired beauty. She with the little English she knew and that made it very for her to get to know people in our small town.Every day Leourn kept her eyes fixed on the and we never,ever saw her .
What could we do to help Leourn?With and faith,we decided to let her know that there were people who . We sought out Leourn in the halls and said “ Hi ” and tried to continue to engage her in . Leourn responded to us with smiles and small talk.
When Valentine’s Day(情人节) came,I thought of Leourn and decided I would send her a for the holiday. Thinking that she was learning our language and customs,I simply wrote, “Happy Valentine’s Day,Leourn. Your friend Kristi.”
I will forget that Valentine’s Day.
For the time,Leourn was the one who me out. She found me in the hall with the carnation(康乃馨)in her hands. Then she did something .She actually took her eyes off the floor,looked up at me with beautiful eyes and in a whisper said two words: “Thank You.”
It was a life-changing moment for me.
