Several years ago, some people told me I was really stupid and laughed at me. I 41 it. All my life, I achieved grades that were only fairly 42 , and over time I felt I couldn’t catch up with my classmates. I thought I would never achieve great achievements (成就). I felt a sense of shame and a sense of 43 .
I didn’t get accepted into the course I wanted, 44 I was most upset. My dad told me, “You have two 45 . Do a pre-university course or take up an easier course.” I thought for a long time and 46 made the decision that changed my whole life. I flew to another city, enrolled (注册学习) in a pre-university course and 47 very successfully.
Of course, it wasn’t that 48 . While I was doing my course, it was difficult. I 49 and I wouldn’t give up. I decided that I was going to 50 to everyone that I could make it. The greatest force that kept me moving was the lasting 51 from my family and my best friends. They never looked down on me and they were supportive all the way through.
I had a strong will. I just kept 52 myself. Over and over again the situation convinced me to 53 but I did not! I told myself I was going to start a new life. Exams came and went and the 54 were out. I was 55 . It was my first exam since I started my new life. And I did it.
Looking back on my life, I find all the criticism (批评) that I’ve received is now not only a(n) 56 for me to do better, but something that tells me that no one can 57 you who you are. I’ve learnt no one will be able to 58 me. Everything is up to me. Whatever I choose or whoever I 59 to be, it’s all up to ME!
I may not be a 60 person but I have a strong will.
