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