This story happened when I was 11 years old. I’ll never forget it.
I was at my friend Jenny’s      after school one day. We were doing homework when a friend of Jenny’s mum’s came over to      . I don’t remember her name or even what she looked like. I      remember her hands, her voice and the lesson she taught me.
I remember her hand reaching out for mine. What     hands she had, I thought; rich, dark skin going well with the orange nail polish (指甲油). Then I heard her saying, “Oh no, that is NOT      you shake hands. Let me show you.”
After that, I just remember her voice explaining the importance of a good       , having a sense of self, looking the other person in the eye… At that moment I felt respected.
I think of her every time I meet someone      . I’m so thankful for her little lesson.
I thank her for       the time to teach me something I didn’t know. I thank her for the       that she didn’t talk down to me because I was 11 or because I didn’t       something. I thank her for instilling (灌输) the idea that if someone doesn’t know something, don’t be afraid to share your knowledge.
