I have always loved kids. However, the children here at Shanti Bhavan are unlike

题型：不详难度：来源：
I have always loved kids. However, the children here at Shanti Bhavan are unlike any that I have ever met. They have a strong drive and determination and are thankful for the wonderful opportunity they have been given. While at Shanti Bhavan, I taught 3rd graders writing, language, and literature, 8th, 9th, and 10th graders public speaking, 9th and 10th graders basketball, and piano lessons. I found teaching the children was the most rewarding experience of my life. They are really fast learners and really have an interest in knowledge. It was easy to get on with such polite, well-mannered, and hard-working students. They dream big and I only hope that I can continue to be a part of helping them achieve their goals.
As far as my day-to-day living went, I was perfectly comfortable here and came to consider it as a second home. My room was clean and comfortable and the staff could not have been nicer.
In addition, I really appreciated the support of all the teachers. They were so welcoming and kind that it truly cleared away my fears and culture shock. They often gave me advice and befriended me and I owe much to them for their warmth.
I honestly feel that Shanti Bhavan is the most beautiful place on earth. It has love and learning, and I am very sad to be leaving. I am looking forward to my return to this newly found family as soon as possible. Thank you so much Miss Beena and Mrs. Law for all of your love and support. The experience that I worked with them will always come into my mind. This has been the greatest experience of my life.

They said, “  35   you live in a small home or an apartment, you don’t have to give up gardening.”
My grandparents avoided lifestyle creep(攀比) by paying for their own home in cash and building it themselves. They also recycled and   36  everything. For instance, they drove the same car for over 15 years and didn’t buy anything new until their stuff was   37  worn out.
My grandparents taught me that living well on   38  isn’t about feeling bad for myself.   39 , it’s about giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to seek your dreams. You know: Becoming debt free, living in a smaller home, and others are a few ways to   40  your life.

In this modern world, we rush around all day with no time for stillness. And when we are   48  to be still, we"re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor"s appointment, or on a bus or train. This comes at a   49 : we lose that time for consideration, for observing and listening. We lose peace. And   50  yet: sometimes no action is better than too much action at all. You can run around crazily, but get nothing done. Take a moment to think about how you spend your days? Are you always   51  through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your life? If not, take a moment to be still. Don"t think about what you have to do, or what you"ve done already.   52  be in the moment. Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your   53 , and how you"d like it to be. See your life with less movement and less rushing. See it with more stillness and more peace. It"s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. Once you"ve got   54  to that, try doing less each day. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of waiting for it.
Value the stillness. It"s a treasure and it"s   55  to us, always.
