Madison stared through the window and watched a puffy white cloud pass over the woods across from the school.It must be wonderful to be a bird,she thought.Total freedom.No math class to sit in;and her days would be spent on horseback.She thought of her horse,Star.
"Madison.Could you please join us again?" Mrs.Smith said. "I was just asking the class if anyone had any problems with the homework assignment."
"Well.I didn't have any problems doing it,but I had problems remembering to put it in my school bag after I did it." Some giggling spread through the room.
"Madison.I don't know what I am going to do with jye.ai.You're such a smart girl but you just don't apply yourself.Class,clear your desks.Our guest is here and welcome Doctor Landon.He is a veterinarian (獸醫(yī)).He came here today as part of our continued Career Explorations Program."
Madison tried to focus as Doctor Landon talked about how important grades were and how he struggled with math when he was a kid.Doctor Landon was still talking but she lost track of what he was saying.Then a word caught her attention.Horse.Was he talking about horses?
Gradually,Madison knew Doctor Landon had come to her town and house when her horse,Star,needed care.She liked it that he even knew her horse's name. "So,you just travel around and take care of horses all day long?"
Doctor Landon nodded. "I travel with my truck to take care of horses and ponies across the county.It is a lot of work,but I love it."
Madison's mouth fell open.What a life that must be,she thought.At that moment,sitting in class,Madison could see her future and her life suddenly seemed bigger.By the time she got off the bus that afternoon,her plans for the afternoon had changed.She was still going to ride Star,but first she was going to spend an hour studying math.Then tomorrow she'd spend an hour studying science.

2.I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers,and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried,I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day,I was told that if I got one more E on my report card,I would be taken to the "big prison for kids".
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out,I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E,just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage (孤兒院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do;it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said, "Mr.Young,do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger?" He looked at me,moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger,Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day,when I got my report card,I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus,I opened it:Geography,B+;Mechanical Drawing,C-;English,D-;History,C-;Gym,B+;Art,C;Math,D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
