Every time I go to visit her, she has a new  51 . She’s even gone to the White House. She is so happy and proud. We have tried to talk her into getting a VCR (錄像機(jī)) so she can tape the programs and see  52  on TV—she just smiles.

McCarty gave me much more than a scholarship. She taught me about the gift of  53 . Now I know there are good people in the world who do good things. She worked hard and helped others, and in turn she has inspired me to  54  when I can some day. So  55  I plan to add to her scholarship fund.
