I had waited nearly a week for my chance to see my picture in the school publication. I was a freshman in high school and we each had an
29、 hour to sign each others yearbooks. I sat down at a table, waiting for poople to start coming over in groups to get their yearbooks signed and to sign mine. A boy came up to where I was sitting. I had seen him around. He had buckteeth (龅牙)，and wore a pair of glasses. He rocked back and forth nervou

31、e up to me nervously, asking in an almost pleading (恳求的) way，“Can you sign this？”I looked at my friends who just looked at me and shrugged. To tell the truth, I didnt want to do that because of his appearance. Thinking for a few seconds, I took his yearbook, not knowing what to write. I saw that the

Have lots of fun during the break.WillI put down the yearbook and tured around to get some signatures from some of the others when I noticed my yearbook
33、was gone. I looked around and saw Ricky sitting at the end of the table with my yearbook in his hands.“What are you doing？” I asked.He looked up calmly and just said, “Sign！”I saw that he was trying to put a signature in my yearbook. It took him nearly five minutes and when I got my yearbook back, t

Suddenly everyone at my table wanted his signature. Soon, many people in the hall asked Ricky to sign in their yearbooks. His yearbook wasnt g
36、oing unsigned either. “Youre cool, Ricky！” “Have a wonderful summer, Ricky！”and the like filled up the signature pages of his yearbook.It was amazing, and Ricky was excited. His smile was so big that it lit up the hall. Thats when I saw his special helper standing not very far away from the table. She was drying tears from her eyes and smiling. She looked at me and mouthed the words，“Thank you.”I nodded to her, looked at Ricky and spoke softly, “Thank you, too.”Honestly. I had never realised before that a small action could make such a difference. It was Ricky who taught me that.
