My life is always full of sadness and little joy. However, no matter(無論) what happens, I can always face it bravely.

Last year,  I couldn’t believe the   1   that I could enter the only key high school in my hometown.  Then I rushed to my home and told my parents.  But my father didn’t  seem as    2        as I was. He just kept smoking without saying a word and my mother put her head down and couldn’t help   3  .

I knew very well what my family was   4___ . My mum had been ill in bed for 2 years. We lived a hard life and I couldn’t continue my schooling. I felt so upset(心煩意亂) but I could say   5    to my parents. I decided to help my father with his work   6   my family.

To my surprise, things completely changed   7     the beginning of the new term. My head teacher came to my family with some money, which was   8     by my schoolmates. He encouraged me, “Always have a dream.” With tears in my eyes, I stepped into the key high school.

I have been studying hard since I entered the high school. No matter when I meet difficulties, I always   9     my teacher and schoolmates. I have a college dream and I must work hard for it, no matter how  10    life is. Just as a great man says, “When one door shuts, another opens in life.”

Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself!” When I was a young boy, I was too shy to   1   to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was
