　　It was her giggling that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn't all that funny.
　　
　　Walking over to the offender, I asked for the   36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   37   between teacher and student. When she finally   38   it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn't draw it.”
　　
　　It was a hand-drawn   39   of me, teeth blackened and the words “I'm stupid” coming out of my mouth.
　　
　　I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,   40 , was working angrily as I struggled not to   41 . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some   42   to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
　　
　　Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   43 .
　　
　　When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   44 this was for me. I told them there must be a reason   45   and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
　　
　　As I   46   the notes later, many of them said something like, “I've got nothing against you,” or “I'm sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We're   47   of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   48   were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   49 , too strict…
　　
　　Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   50 my students, I had begun commanding them to   51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   52   driving them away.
　　
　　I had some apologizing to do. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   53   by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   54 .
　　
　　This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   55 .
