Question

   When I arrived at 6 a.m. in the hospital kitchen Rose was already checking name tags（标签） on the trays(托盘).

   “Hi I ' m Janet.”I tried to sound cheerful although I already knew Rose ' s reputation for being impossible to work with. “scheduled to work with you this week."

   Rose a middle-aged woman stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn ' t pleased to see a student worker.

   “What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?” I asked.

   Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.

   I filled the 40-cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled “That's not the way to make coffee!M She stepped in and took over.

Nothing I did pleased her.

   Back at home I stayed alone in my room fighting back tears. I thought “Maybe she didn’t feel well. Maybe she had some trouble." I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.

   The next morning I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose ' s way as much as possible.

   Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting. The icy tension began to melt away.

   Throughout the rest of the summer we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time she seemed happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman I listened to her — something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.

   That summer I learned a lesson V ve never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose 一 annoying demanding unlovable — yet hurting inside. T ve found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.
