People kept coming into St. Stephen’s asking for help with car repairs. Oh, this is obviously an urgent _________. What if I opened a non-profit auto garage that offered _________repairs?

So I _________ myself at Dunwoody College of Technology in the spring of 2008. I knew I had to try to make my idea a _________. However, I was a middle-aged woman and knew _________ about mechanics. _________, none of the guys rushed to be my lab partner. The only thing I could do was watch my classmates and _________ what they did.

One day we were _________ to flare (扩口) brake lines. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t do it. “Hey, what’s taking so long?” Mr. Du Vai _________ from across the room. My hands were __________ so badly that I couldn’t hold the tube __________. And tears streamed down my cheeks. At the end of the __________, the other students trooped out. I went to Mr. Du Vai.

“My __________ doesn’t work this way,” I said. “I’m giving up.”

He glared at me. “I’m not going to let you __________!” he said, his voice rising. “I believe in you. You can do this. I’m going to watch you walk across that stage as a __________ in two years. Now get over there and flare those brake lines.”

Tried again. And again. On the fourth try, I __________.

Today I __________ a non-profit called The Lift Garage. Our __________ are about 75 percent less than what a for-profit shop would charge. We’ve __________ low-income families more than two million dollars in car repairs.

Some people want to follow in our __________. I could never have pictured any of this happening. Good thing has a much better imagination!

Ginger the dog doesn't have a bad life at the animal shelter where she's lived for almost four years. She's ________ by staff and volunteers, and she spends a(n)________ amount of time outside the shelter-including long walks through the woods and trips to McDonald's, where she enjoys a plain cheeseburger.

“She's our little princess,” Pat Ingersoll, director at Responsible Pet Care (RPC) told HufPost. But after more than 1, 450 days, Ginger needs a ________ of her own.

Ginger has gone viral after a Facebook post detailing how long she's been ________ a master. The post includes a photo of Ginger appearing to look at the camera with ________ eyes, wearing a sign that says, “I have been in the shelter for 1, 456 days. Please ________ Me.”

“She was brought to us as a stray in 2017,” the Facebook post reads. “She needs the perfect home, not just any home.” Ingersoll said that it's been difficult finding the right one for Ginger because she has some ________ needs that should be satisfied by a ________ family.

Ginger is outgoing and likes sticking by. However, she has ________ with resource guarding—meaning she can become ________ and possessive of objects like her food bowl and toys. For that reason, RPC doesn't consider her a good ________ for families with small children, or any children who may not be ________ enough to recognize when they need to leave Ginger lone.

Ingersoll ________ noted that Ginger has never bitten anyone, and RPC wants to make sure it stays that way. “Because she is such a unique and loving dog, we don't want to put her in a situation where she can ________,” she said.

While RPC is willing to consider non-locals, any potential adopter will have to agree to a home ________ by the shelter. “We would love nothing more than for her to have her own family right now,” said Ingersoll.

My freshman year started out predictably stressful for me. I had never made friends _________ or been able to start conversations with strangers. But I was determined to become a better person.

I remember that day when I was having my lunch alone at a bench, planning my _________ into the student community. Suddenly my daydreaming was _________ when a girl passing by said “hello” to me, _________ and waving her hand!

You’d never think a simple “hello” could actually change the _________ of someone’s life. But that unexplained little act of _________ was all that I needed. Next thing I knew, I was _________ into the book discussion club. Here and there, I would still _________ that girl around, and she kept on smiling and waving at me every time she passed by. All until one day when, passing by, she _________ said “Hey there, Janice!” and went away.

Oh gosh, she knew my name! This was starting to worry me. I thought, maybe I should ask her __________, but it was too late to ask. But finally a miracle (奇迹) __________ — thanks to roll call I found out that she was called Anne! The mystery was __________, and I didn’t need to feel __________ anymore!

Thanks to her little “hello” that day and the __________ it gave me to get into the book club where I came across my future husband, Michael. You can always __________ my bridesmaid, Anne, in the photos. She’s always waving her hand and smiling!
