Sometimes people around you can change your life. The change may not be sudden or _________, but little habits can produce big _________that make you think about what is important in your life. The person who changed my _________ is Julia Masi. She has _________ me so many things.

One thing I’ve learned from Julia is how to balance _________. Julia has shown me how to _________ ahead so that I can finish all my schoolwork, enjoy sports and _________ have time for friends. She has taught me that you can do anything if you are _________ ——never give up. I’ve also learned that you can find anything _________ if you connect it with something you enjoy.

Last year I hated studying vocabulary, but I loved playing on my computer. Julia __________ the two and showed me “freerice.com” where you can __________ a word game that gives you five grains of rice to donate to the poor with every correct word. She__________ me to learn a hundred new words by__________ the rice bowl. I liked playing the game so much that I learned about 1,000__________ in just one month.

If it weren’t for Julia I probably wouldn’t have __________ how easy it is to help the poor. There are so many ways that one person can make a difference. I’ve learned to be more appreciative of what I own.
