I had just
accepted my first community-service assignment: working at an animal shelter. When I walked in on my first day, all of the dogs barked at me—
except one. That dog sat quietly, staring straight into my eyes. She was all white,
except for a brown patch around her left eye. I knelt in front of her and
accepted the paw that she offered me. Her name was Diva, and we quickly formed a bond. In fact, I would have adopted Diva that very day,
except of course I had to get my parents’ permission. I must admit, it would have been hard for me to
accept “no” as an answer. Fortunately, I didn’t have to! My parents came to meet Diva and they fell in love with her too. Diva is now a treasured part of our family.
