【推荐1】One of the best feelings is knowing that I have made a(n) _______ impact on another person’s life.

Immediately after I saw him pull into the parking lot, I _______ his order, having it ready by the time he walked in. If I had no other work to do, I sat and talked with him. We learned a lot about each other. I could not help feeling sorry for him because his wife had recently passed away.

After a year of working every weekend, I eventually decided to leave and turned in my two-week notice. The most difficult part of _______ was not telling my boss, but informing Frank. I felt like I was _______ him. When I finally brought it up, he _______ replied, “Oh, that’s too bad. I’m sure that the staff will miss you.” I began to think that our visits held no real importance to him, and that he would be just as _______ enjoying his food alone. _______, on my last day, Frank came in with a card that simply read, “Your kindness during the time we have spent together is heartwarming. You had no _______ to speak a word to me, let alone show a real interest in our conversations. Few things have brought me more pleasure than our weekly visits. Thank you.”
