As a music teacher, I have always known that music touches the soul.Tt can_21__all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the _22__for each child to find their light. I would like to share a story about it.
For a few years I was blessed with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most __23_ students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students __24__ twice while singing the repeating phrase,"Oh, yes !" Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class. But she ___25__said or sang a word.
One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa_26__ me in the eye, clapped
her tiny hands twice and said the words "Oh, yes! " I opened my mouth in
astonishment and for that moment I was the one who could not speak. When my heart__27__started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also speechless. Through music, we had made an awesome connection.
Several years later, I met Vanessa on the street in town. She clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had__28__ so many times in our music class. The little girl,__29__her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the __30__ to learn and grow. It is up to us to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each childs light.
