Our girls had performed well all day at the Bedford North Lawrence Cheerleading Clinic, and Abby and I were happy. As cheer coaches of the Shawswick Elementary 2018-2019 Cheerleaders, my daughter and I couldn’t wait for the _________ ceremony of the day to begin.
Three of our seven cheerleaders won _________ awards – Kennedy won a best jumper award; Ally won a spirit ribbon; and Chelsea earned a best gymnast medal. As we took _________ of our girls with their group and individual awards, I _________ one of our 4th graders, Trista, wasn’t as “spirited” as usual. In fact, she seemed quite _______.
I was just about to ask her about it _________ Chelsea, one of our individual award winners and a 5th grade squad (小队) member, _________ her arm around Trista’s shoulder and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I just wish I could have won an award,” Trista said, with big _________ in her eyes.
Without missing a beat, Chelsea _________ Trista the “Best Gymnast” award and said, “You can __________ this one. I have others at home because I compete with an All Star squad.”
Trista __________ Chelsea and then literally bounced away to __________ her mom the award, and I stood there in amazement at the __________ act I’d just witnessed. At that moment, I __________ I had had an extra-special award to give Chelsea for her kind heart.
I’m not sure if anyone else saw what Chelsea did that afternoon, but I saw and it __________ me. Later, I told Chelsea how __________ I was of her, and she smiled and sort of brushed it off, not wanting me to make a big __________ of it.
How long has it been since you’ve done something selfless, without wanting any __________, just to bless another person? Like Chelsea, you may think it’s a small gesture of __________, but it might make a big influence.
So, go ahead. Make someone’s __________ today.
