they have achieved. and those glorious moments, when we can instantly see the influence we have on a student, fuel us to continue making connections hoping to _22_ in the life of every child.as a music teacher for twenty-seven years, i have always known that music _23_ the soul. it can _24_ all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. it can be the _25_ for each child to find their light. i would like to share a story about it. for a few years i was blessed with the opportunity to teach _26_ students one afternoon a week. one of my most _27_ students was a five-year-old girl called vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. we _28_ sat on the floor for our music lessons and vanessa liked to sit on my lap. one of her favorite songs was “john the rabbit.” it was a call and response song where i sang the call and the students _29_ twice while singing the repeating phrase, “oh, yes!” vanessa liked to _30_ her hands together with mine and clap with me. we probably performed that song during every class, vanessa and i clapping together. but she _31_ said or sang a word.one day late in the school year, when the song was finished, vanessa turned around, looked me dead in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words “oh, yes!” i opened my mouth in _32_ and for that moment i was the one who could not speak. when my heart _33_ started beating again, i looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also _34_. through music, we had made an awesome connection.several years later, i passed vanessa on the street in town. i stopped my car and waved to say hello. she waved back with a big _35_ on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had _36_ so many times in our music class. this precious little girl, _37_ her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. every child has the _38_ to learn and grow. it is up to us as educators to _39_ the way to reach each and every one of our students. we all must find each childs _40_. 21. a. lateb. formerc. recentd. present22. a. make itb. make sensec. make a messd. make a difference 23. a. touchesb. savesc. abandonsd.
