Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a  16  the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a  17. One of her colleagues needed a full-time  18 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to  19  Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a  20  child.

Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not  21  him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium（平衡）problems.

He couldn’t  22  or run properly. I was  23  if I was to take the job when my mother 24  , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the  25 .”

Then I told her I was  26  for the job.

The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little  27  , he was quite a mix.

At the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings, the boy’s face  28  up—How he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be  29  to get a child to go down a slide. Believe me, it wasn’t! It took time. a lot of time. But with patience and support. Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his  30  and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.

Halfway through the summer, he 31 it to the top of the slide. With my arms holding him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his  32  . After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 33 and asked, “May I go down again, alone?”

I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children  34  for granted.

This  35  child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.
