Sometimes people come into your life and you come to realize that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out whom you are or who you want to become. You never know 16 these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know in an instant that they will 17 your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but
18 you find that without overcoming difficulties you would have never realized your 19 , strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a 20 . Nothing happens 21 or by means of good luck.

Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a 23 paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and 24 , but dull and utterly pointless.
The people you 25 who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you 26 , help to create who you are and who you become. Even the 27 experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are the most important ones. If someone hurt you or breaks your heart, 28 them, for they have helped you learn about 29 and the importance of being 30 . Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it 31 . Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every 32 to. Tell yourself you are great and believe in yourself, for 33 you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for 34 to believe in you.
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no 35 . Most importantly (!!!), if you love someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.

Dear Expert: I was asked to retrieve my 14-year-old daughter from a five-day camping trip.She was suffering from such severe separation anxiety,her teacher thought she should go home.She hadn’t eaten anything and had refused to participate in any activities.The thing is my daughter is extremely bright and has many friends;she organized a few friends into a band,and it belongs to several school clubs.She’s just always had an extreme fear of being away from home.I don’t want her to miss out on other trips. Yours truly, Jonathan |
Dear Jonathan: Sometimes kids can push through homesickness,but in other instances they become hurt mentally and develop greater anxiety around outings,which can worsen and prolong(延长) the problem.Separation anxiety can be the result of many complex interactions some genetic(遗传的) and some learned. People with high anxiety tend to be fearful and worried, ever when the sense of threat is minimum( 最低程度).Lots of talented,creative and successful people are exceedingly anxious. I believe your daughter is bright,active and popular,but simply can’t do well outside her home base.My suggestion is to take things in small steps,so your daughter can experience success,and always have a fallback(退却) plan if she needs it.For instance,she can plan an overnight with a friend,but assure her it’s no big deal to pick her up at midnight if she changes her mind. What’s important is to recognize the fear,and make plans to deal with whatever may cause distress.In other words,don’t try to talk your daughter out of her fears,equip her to master them.This way she’ll eventually gain the confidence to go on further trips.
