On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t       her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me, “or they will make fun of you.”

Amy had many physical differences—lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.

Every day we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a(n) face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her hat. Make her put it back on!” For a while I shouted my share of insults, just so I’d fit in (合群).    , I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.

But while I was insulting her, my heart    for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so ashamed and alone. Then I wanted to    her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates    the night of our class roller-skating party.

Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to   like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. We began the journey together around the skating rink (溜冰场). She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in    .

On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me    together,   nobody insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.

After graduation, I never    Amy again. However, I never forget her and I’ve always    if I changed her life for the better. But I know for sure she changed my    . After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress people by trying to    like them. I became myself.
