I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be      Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d     ?” Just when I started to      that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women      at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of     that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t      . Somebody had thought     of me to bring me a gift.

       Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my      Christmas there special and memorable, I        remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of        for as many children as I could possibly reach.

So I        a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,        with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were         . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I        them that they couldn’t open their presents     every child had come forward. Finally the        they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed(绽放笑容) and their bright smiles      up the room. The        in the room was obvious, and        wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew        that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.
