11．I had started doing my new job when I started getting these terrible headaches almost every day．I couldn't pure out what was causing them．My dentist told me that it was my wisdom teeth that caused the headaches．He advised me to get my wisdom teeth removed．But I refused．I was working for a small wage with no sick leave and had no way of paying﹩1，500 for the surgery．My wisdom teeth were getting so bad that I had gotten a terrible infection in my jaw（颌）and neck that was threatening my life．I decided to remove them． To my surprise I found that I worked with angels，some of the most generous people I've ever met．Everyone was terribly worried about me and insisted on helping me out．The assistant division manager wanted to find some way that would help me get the money I needed．
They decided to hold a bake sale to get money for my surgery．I was very grateful when I heard about this，but figured it would only make a few hundred probably．To my astonishment，at the end of the day they presented me with over﹩l，000 towards my surgery．I cried．I had never had so much kindness bestowed（给予）upon me in my life．I knew they added their money to it．Two weeks before my surgery，I was very sick and they arranged for me to take the paid time off．
I went through my surgery successfully and I made a promise that after I was fully recovered I would spare no effort to help others．Their kindness was remarkable，and I will remember it for the rest of my life．They are truly angels and I'm so lucky to work with them．
