上护士学校第二个月的时候，教授给我们进行了一次小测验，我是个认真学习的学生，我把题目回答得很快，直到最后一道题：“学校的保洁女工叫什么名字？”这简直是个笑话。我见过这个保洁女工，她高个子，黑头发，有50几岁，但我怎么会知道她的名字呢？我空着最后一题没有回答，交了试卷。下课之前，一位同学问，最后一道题是否会记入考试成绩，“当然，”教授回答。
“在你们的工作生涯中，你们会遇到很多人，所有的人都很重要，他们值得你的关注，尽管你所做的只是微笑和说‘你好’。”
我从来没有忘记过这堂课，我还得知她的名字叫多萝西。
The Angel Who Takes Care of the Child
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God， “They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless？”
God replied， “Among the many angels， I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.”
But the child wasn’t sure he really wanted to go. “But here in Heaven， I don’t do anything else but sing and smile， and that’s enough for me to be happy.”
“Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel’s love and be happy.”
“And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me，” the child continued， “if I don’t know the language that men talk？”
God patted him on the head and said， “Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear， and with much patience and care your angel will teach you how to speak.”
“And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you？”
God had an answer for that question too. “Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you low to pray.”
“I’ve heard that on earth there are bad men， who will protect me？”
“Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life！”
“But I will always be sad because I will not see you any more，” the child continued warily.
God smiled on the young one. “Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me， even though I will always be next to you.”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven， but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question softly，“Oh God， if I am about to leave now， please tell me my angel’s name.”
God touched the child on the shoulder and answered. “Your angel’s name is not hard to remember. You will simply call her Mommy.”
