I had never noticed her. She was not the kind of girl who could draw attention. She was not tall and just looked . In class, she liked sitting at the back, reading or taking notes. One day I asked her to read aloud the text. When I heard her standard American pronunciation, I looked at her with new eyes. And I her name—Kelly. Later on, the National College Speech Competition would be held. One student in our school was allowed to attend. I thought it over and filled in name.
Kelly practiced hard for the competition. However, I was a little worried because she was always too . Could she do well in the competition?

The strong spotlight and large hall made her so small that nobody seemed to notice she had been on the stage. I felt hopeless.
But the moment that me came. I clearly heard a voice, a very loud voice, “Now, please focus on（聚焦于）me.”

I think I will never forget this touching lesson that my student taught me — never underestimate（低估）the power of the silent people.

It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was perfecting a paper plane, while Sam was on an oil painting.
But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (叹息) of .
“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.
Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.
It wasn’t until later that evening that I a “mailbox” taped onto the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t Sam or baby Paul.

When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.
This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the state college, but some things about her have changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”
