I’m someone who never went to university but always thought about it. The only way I 36 was listening to my children talk about their class and all the interesting things they were 37 .

I decided to 41 .

Then, 46 , I saw it! A large billboard on the side of the road with a picture of Kermit the Frog. I 47 a little and read the words next to his picture. “ Live your dreams. ” Was Kermit speaking me? I didn’t turn the car around.
I drove a little 48 on up the highway and there was another 49 . This one had a picture of Albert Einstein with his tongue 50 out. A line read, “As a student, he was no Einstein. ” And there was a word in red, “ Confidence”. A new attitude was 51 inside me.
I was now 52 the gate of the university and there 53 still another billboard. This one showed a photograph of a proud 54 in a cap and gown. Under the picture was her 55 , Nola Ochs, aged 95. Oldest University Graduate. Below it was the words, “ Live Life ”. At that moment, my outlook changed completely.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”
Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was 3 .
The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.
6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”
I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).
We all have “scars” that 13 people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.
But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
