Robin asked us to share inspiring favorite words that other people had spoken. As I rolled through ideas in my head, my 1 kept returning to an event from my youth.

The words spoken were not 2 in their delivery. The person who received them wasn’t me. And, the life-changing event 3 to someone else. But I remember it very well. My friend Evonne was a skinny little girl. We weren’t best friends, but we were 4 . We 5 a classroom every year from 2nd through 8th grade. High school got us into other groups of fellow students and we kept up our friendship 6 . But then the 7 happened during our senior year that changed her life 8 .

Mrs. Lee was Evonne’s and my senior advisor. I don’t remember one word the woman spoke to me during consulting. However, I do remember what she said to Zevonne. On one particular day, Evonne, the teary-eyed 17-year old girl 9 Mrs. Lee’s office. She cried, “She might as well have told me I was 10 . She told me ‘You are not college material.’ Can you believe she said that?” Evonne 11 . Then the still tiny, but determined young woman made a brave 12 . “I’ll show her!” …and then she 13 !

Evonne’s head 14 down in her studies the rest of that year. Following graduation she found employment and began 15 her way through college. She finished her 4 years and 16 to graduate school（研究生院）. Not very many years later I heard that she had a PHD and became a professor at a university in Tennessee.

17 words don’t always make someone decide to invest（投資） in themselves so wisely. Whenever I think of the inspiration and motivation that 18 Evonne, I am also 19 that there are many others who are discouraged by the 20 of our words. My story today is in honor of my old friend, Evonne.
