School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very  21 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me  22  out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the  23_ , tries to break the unfortable atmosphere by striking the match of _ 24 .
I tried to mind my manners and 25  listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day,   26  , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in  27 , I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from  28  the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes   29   as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I was  30  . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great  31  that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and   32  is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to  33   that.

I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie 37  she was a bus driver. I had  38  her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m just another person in  39  else’s world, and may not be   40 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.
