I work as a volunteer(志愿者）for an organization that helpsthe poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to           him.
Before setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and        . For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried thetrip was too           for a 17-year-old boy. Then, on day three, as wewere           over high rocky mountains, he turned to me andgrinned(咧嘴笑），" Pretty hard. "
After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearinga dress several sizes           large and broken shoes, followed Barrettaroimd, mesmerized(着迷). He couldn't stop          . Later he said        ，" I wish I could speak French. " I was           —this from aboy who hated and           French classes throughout school.
Usually silent, he          Gaby, our host, and kept askingquestions about the country and its people. He blossomed (活拨起来).
        ，the moment that really took           breath away occurred in a village deep in the mountains. I was           a womanvillager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figurebut strong in          . Through determination, she had learned toread and write, and           to become part of the leadership of the       .
Learning her story, Barrett was as           as I by this tinywoman's achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a           oflove and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work.
When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay          as avolunteer. My insides suddenly felt struck. This           achieved all I'dexpected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday. He'll be a man.
