 As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.

A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.

One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection.

Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking(模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.

Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.

Earlier this morning I e-mailed an old friend, Mark. We have been out of touch for 12 years, but the   36   is a wonderful thing. Finding his e-mail address   37   less than a minute. He is working on his doctoral paper in western America.

    Mark and I met at a summer   38   that we both attended. I went every year from the time I was 8 or 9 until I was 15. I don’t   39   exactly, but I think Mark was there for as many years as I was.

    We lived close to each other and   40   saw each other around the campsite, but not often. Mostly we stayed together for a week or two in the   41   and wrote letters back and forth during the rest of the first few years. I still have all of his letters in a box somewhere. I come across them occasionally and   42   to sit down and read through them, but I never have. He was a   43   and precious friend to me, and I am deeply   44   that we have drifted so far apart.

     Mark was a very kind and incredibly bright and funny   45  . He loved Monty Python — I mean he was a fanatic(狂热者), and could   46   entire movies from memory. He was one of those kids who   47   such a unique and powerful mind   48   they never quite fit into the main stream of life.   49   Mark, who I believe realized that, never seemed to care about it. When I knew that Mark was working on his   50   (on a highly intellectual and fairly mysterious and difficult topic), I thought, “Well yes, of course.” He is just where I would

  51   him to be.

     I wonder if he will write me back. I wonder if he will be   52   by where I am. I wonder whether he and I can be   53   again, or whether these years have left us with   54  

in common. I wonder whether he can ever be the man I   55  , or only remain the boy I knew.
