I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow(肘). Then he gave her some _________, “Don’t treat her any _________ from the other girls. Demand more.” And she did! 
My mother had to work to _________ my family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the _________, “Mom, I can’t peel(削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”“You get back to peel those potatoes, and don’t ever use that as a(n) _________for anything again!” Of course I could peel potatoes—with my good hand, while holding them down with my other arm. There was always a way, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard _________,” she said, “you can do anything.”  Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars(攀爬架). When it was my turn, I _________ my head. Some kids laughed. I went home crying. After work the next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by_________ I practiced, and she praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget the next time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.     
It was the way with everything. When I _________ I can’t handle things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to _________ anything. And she taught me I could, too.

Ms. LaRosa is a great teacher. She can answer almost any question that you have about any history topic and if she cannot, she will try her best to help you find the answer. Although she has a hearing aid(助聽器., she does not let that prevent her from being a great teacher. She told the class about it on the first day and told us not to let it get in the way of our learning and not to treat her differently.
We all like her class, especially an activity which is called the station. Stations are when our tables of four or five become our groups and we go through four various activities, such as Ancient China, in which we need to put together a sentence and write it using ancient symbols. Each station needs about 40 minutes to complete.
Ms. LaRosa has a policy that not many teachers give a second thought to. That is writing in cursive (草書的.letters. She will provide you with various resources so that your cursive handwriting is the best that it can be. Ms. LaRosa always says that she has a reason for everything that she does. Recently we just understood her reason for supporting cursive handwriting. Cursive writing can force you to think in words but not in letters. Also it has been proven that people who write in cursive letters do better on tests.
Ms. LaRosa’s class gets to do various fun and exciting things. She also uses real examples from her own life, such as things that her daughter has done. Ms. LaRosa also has absolute trust in her students. She always leaves her purse on her desk.
