    When l first  41  into the waiting room on the ground floor，I was very  42  that I  would be spending my entire summer with kids．As it became  43  for me to show up every day at 8 a．m．，many kids began to  44  me．To my surprise，I began looking forward to seeing their 45  faces as well．They were always enthusiastic about  46  ．My heart warmed every time I heard their 47  voices asking me for a story or an answer to a question．I felt  48  and irreplaceable．(不可替代的)．As I look back，I see the  49  that these special children have had on me．It is because of them that I have  50  a desire to become a psychologist．Recently，I have volunteered for a month．I have been asked to 51 on many different floors besides the waiting room  52  I started．The kids on the floors above are usually there for a longer time．53  their anxiety and desire to get better and go home，they always offer me a(n)  54  smile．I feel renewed after spending a day with them because I realize that there is much more to  55  than money．It is much more important to love and to be loved．
