i had spent over five exhausting years on my essay for my ph. d. and was anxiously preparing for my oral boards which were to be held in california, and i had   36  a flight through minneapolis, where i was to change   37  . my flight was very late, and i was soon in an all—out run to   38  my flight. i had to stop to catch my   39  on a moving sidewalk when i   40  a woman in her fifties   41  with a carry-on bag.
i don’t know   42  , but i looked at her face and blurted out, “are you going on flight 567 to california?”
she responded, “yes.”
“so am i ,” i responded. “give me your bag. i’ll run   43  and tell them to wait for you.” i took her bag and started running again.
i   44  onto the plane and told a flight attendant that one more passenger was behind me and to please   45  the plane for her. i   46  myself with her bag, and a few moments later she arrived and was the last person on the plane   47  they closed the doors and   48  . after the plane leveled off, i   49  the bag to her, and she smiled at me and thanked me.
i didn’t sleep a wink in the hotel and arrived at the   50  at seven o’clock in the morning. the   51  kept me waiting for an hour in a room. i walked into the boardroom and was initially frightened by all the   52  in their robes. as i slowly   53  at the faces of all the board members, i noticed the bright face of a woman. she gave me a smile   54  a young schoolgirl. it was the same woman whose bag i had carried ahead the night before.   55  , whenever i made a mistake on any questions, she did a great job of relaxing me.
