Nicanor Quinteros, a 12-year-old boy from Argentina, is just like any boy of his age. The only thing that makes him ________ is that he has his own school!

Nicanor came up with the idea of starting a ________ when he saw some of his classmates drop out of school because they didn’t have the money for the bus ride or the shoes to wear to school. Nicanor asked his grandma if he could ________ a school next to their house. She ________ agreed to his idea and together they began to carry it out. In the backyard of his house, Nicanor and his grandmother used canvases (帆布) and sticks to build the classrooms and fruit boxes to be as chairs.

Nicanor’s ________ did not end there. He travels 4 kilometers by bicycle every day from school to teach the children in his own school. Sometimes he even has classes at night for those who cannot ________ in the daytime.

Four years has passed since then, and with the help of neighbors and kind people, Nicanor has been able to build two more ________ and a small library. He even has his own headmaster’s office. This community school now has 36 ________. All of them love it and study very hard. The city leader also came to help when he ________ what Nicanor did. He said, “I am so ________ that we have a hero of our own!” And he is right. Nicanor has encouraged (鼓舞) many people, not just in Argentina, but around the world.
