I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,  36  she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.

Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my  37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should  38  things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew  39  about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her  40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to  41  them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how  42  I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in myself.

Mrs. Neidl's  43  that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it  44 !" I began to take  45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing --- only things to be  46  upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and  47  create something.

The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was  48  in the program as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I  49  I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.

Being on that stage-design team  50  Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also  51  a strong interest and a world I hadn't known existed. She taught me not to  52  what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be  53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her  54  in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined  55 .
