I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,
36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my

38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew
39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her
40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to
41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how

46 upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and

53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her
54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 .
