One day, our teacher, Mr. Sims, announced that the destination of the seventhgrade field trip would be the amusement park. The classroom buzzed with ____ as the girls discussed what they would wear and what they should bring with them. I sat back and listened, ____ that my parents did not have the money to send me. It made me ____ to feel so leftout. But not Danny. He ____ told everyone that he wouldn't be going. When Mr. Sims asked him why, Danny stood up and ___, “It's too much money for me right now. My dad hurt his back and has been out of ____ for a while. I can't ask my parents for money.”
Sitting back down in his seat, Danny held his head up proudly, even though ____ had begun. I could only shrink in my ____, and surely those whispers must be about me if they found out I would not be going either.
“Danny, I'm very proud of you for understanding the ____ that your parents are in. Not every student of your ____ has that ability,” Mr. Sims replied.
____ not everyone accepted Danny after that day, he won ____the respect of many of us. I was especially ____ by how he didn't back down under peer pressure. For so long, I could never ____ to my friends that I couldn't afford to go there. ____, in order to continue to ____ in, I lied about why I couldn't do things and ____ with excuse after excuse.
By standing up and admitting he was poor, Danny changed my life. His selfconfidence made it ____ for all of us to understand that what his parents had or didn't have did not ____ who he was. After that, I no longer felt I had to lie about my family's situation. And Danny, ____ because of his courage and honesty than his great looks, is someone I will never forget.
