恩师在侧,时光如蜜
作者: 程志丽深受家庭困扰,“我”的成绩一落千丈。班主任贾斯廷夫人关注到“我”的变化,并从此走进“我”的生活……
1 It was a most difficult period. Things at home were getting from bad to worse. Dad became frustrated and more silent, especially after he was told that he couldn t continue working. Mum was always temperamental (喜怒无常的) as she could not make ends meet with her low income as a factory operator. I had been an above average student, but now I was doing poorly in school.
2 I was very afraid of coming home after school. Dad would come home late and went straight into his room, refusing to communicate with Mum and I. When he fell asleep, I would often hear Mum s repeated helpless sighs. I could do nothing to ease the depressing situation at home and this realization caused me a great deal of pain and frustration.
3 It was at this point that Mrs Justin entered my life. A soft spoken woman in her late forties, she was my class teacher. As alert as she was, she quickly noticed the change that had come over me. One day, during break, I was standing alone in one corner of the canteen when Mrs Justin spotted me. She gestured for me to follow her. We headed for the library where she signaled me to take a seat next to her. I sat with my head bent. “Helen,” she called. I lifted my head and looked at her. I saw the warmth, the love, and the compassion in her lovely eyes. Tears welled up in my eyes and I tried my best to hold them back. However, I could not. They started flowing down my cheeks. She held my hands and waited. When I had finished, she asked me if I wanted to tell her my problem. I told her. She listened in concentration with the patience of a saint. At the end of my story, she gave me a lesson on life and its ups and downs. As I heard her talk, my admiration for this woman grew. Something in me changed. Before this meeting, I had felt I was a failure. However, as the meeting progressed, I felt different. I knew Mrs Justin cared about me.
