Annie, a neighbor’s daughter, was away for her first semester at college this school year. She is a very sweet girl but just a bit shy. When her birthday came around, I found out she was feeling a bit        .
Her family is quite poor and            are tight, so there wouldn’t be any birthday visitors. I wanted to            her a card and maybe a small gift to            her day a bit. I got her school          from her mom and planned to pick something up. Then I got a(n)        !
I        perhaps a bit more birthday cheer was needed here. I bought some balloons, birthday hats, and            novelties at a store. I took a small         and asked three other people in my area at work to         “Happy Birthday” and send some birthday wishes to her. It was such fun making the recording! Other people           what we were doing and          their voices, so it really sounded like we had a party going on!
Then I bought her a small present and a card as          planned. The real fun was packing them to be sent. I            everything so it was like opening a mini birthday party! At the last minute I added a pack of cupcakes and a box of birthday candles           sending them off. I got a call a few days later．Annie said her roommates and one of their neighbors in the            got together with her and held a party for her the moment they arrived. She sounded so          and I was so glad that she had some friends to         her special day with.
It was such an easy and           thing to do. The people who helped me make the tape still laugh and talk about it. And Annie          me it was the most fun birthday she would remember!
