I work as a volunteer(志愿者)for an organization that helps the poor in Haiti. Recently I took my son Barrett there for a week, hoping to 1 him. 2 setting out, I told Barrett this trip would be tiring and rough. For the first two days, he said almost nothing. I worried the trip was too 3 for a 17-year-old. Then on the third day, as we were 4 over high rocky mountains, he turned to me and grinned(咧嘴笑),“Pretty hard.” After that there was no turning back. A five-year-old girl, wearing a dress several sizes 5 large and broken shoes, followed Barrett around, mesmerized(着迷). He couldn’t stop 6 . Later he said 7 . “I wish I could speak French.” I was 8 -this from a boy who hated and 9 French classes at school. He was usually silent, but he was friendly to Gaby, our host, and kept asking questions about the country and its people. He 10 lively. 11 , the moment that really took 12 breath away was in a village deep in the mountains. I was 13 a woman villager for an article. 135 centimeters tall, she was small in figure but strong in 14 . Through determination(决心), she had learned to read and write and 15 to become part of the leadership of the 16 . Learning her story, Barrett was as 17 as I by this tiny(极小的) woman’s achievements. His eyes were wet and there was a combination(交织) of 18 and respect on his face. He had finally understood the importance of my work. When leaving for home, Barrett even offered to stay 19 as a volunteer. My insides suddenly felt something special. This 20 achieved all I’d expected. Soon he will celebrate his 18th birthday.
