Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher? I do，mine．Her name was Mrs. White．And I          thinking she must be some older relation of Walt Disney’s Snow White，       she had the same bright blue eyes，short dark hair，red lips and fair skin．
I don't remember much about what we             in her class，but my mother once told me that we used to          a lot. And I would bring back what I wrote and she would look at it and see there were so many            ．But no red corrections．And always a star．Sometimes         a Good!But it           my mother，so one day when she met Mrs．White at a Parent-Teacher meeting，she asked her why she never            my mistakes．Why she never red-pencilled in the right          of words or pointed out grammatical errors.
And Mrs．White said“The children are just beginning to get            about using words，about forming sentences．I don't want to dampen that enthusiasm with             ink．Spelling and grammar can wait but the wonder of words             …”I grew up learning to use words with loving            like that．
I           now and think she must have been a rather            teacher—to exercise such red-pen restraint(克制)，to            the joy，wonder and excitement of expression to flower— however faultily—like that，because to bloom is better than not to bloom.
I used to        beautiful a lot．Never could quite remember that the e went            the a．Eventually the e and a settled into their right places．I am glad I didn’t wait on them though. Pretty is easier to spell but it doesn’t hold as much as you            sometimes.
And thanks to Mrs．White I felt no            about writing what I meant even if I couldn’t quite spell it out．Because Life isn’t Pretty．It’s Beautiful．
