No matter how many boos (嘘声) or abuses you get, they shouldn’t stop you from being the champion you are.

When I was in primary school, I was 36 asked by my teachers to sit at the 37 of the class because I was not clever. I was the butt (对象) of class jokes. I was all alone, friendless and 38. I hated school, but my dad would have none of it. He 39 telling me that I was a champion, if I 40 it.

A turnaround 41 one day when I remembered the spelling of the word “cognoscenti”, a word all the other “42” students had forgotten how to spell because they spent their free time 43 me. I raised my hand 44 I wasn’t asked to spell. I stood up and went to the front of the class, with 23 pairs of eyes 45 on me. My teacher grabbed her cane (藤条), ready to beat me if I’d 46. I spelt the word and became a(n) 47 champion. I represented and won for my school, five Spelling Bee championships.

Secondary school had its own share of 48. I was tall but wasn’t good at any 49. I loved basketball and lawn tennis. The first day I held a racket, I was disgraced (使丢脸) by my opponent (对手). He 50 six straight sets without sweat and there I was sweating 51 as if I’d run a marathon, while I hadn’t even made a single point.

My dad’s 52 kept playing in my ears, “Stanley, you’re a champion if you believe it.” I did. Finally, I was not only 53 at lawn tennis and basketball. I was an all-round athlete and 54 won both athletic and academic scholarships to college.

Now, staring at this old racket of defeat that once brought me 55, I can’t help but say to it, “You made me a champion when I believed.”

When I was younger it seemed that the super hero was Batman or Spiderman. As I grew up, I looked to real people with some of these qualities to be my super hero including being strong, honest, friendly, brave, skilled, hardworking, and reliable. The person I think of when I hear these words is my dad.
My dad is one of the toughest people I have ever met. He has been through it all. When I was five, 60 percent of his body was burned. In 1999 he fell from a tree, breaking his arm and shattering his ankle. In 2004, he had a liver transplant (移植) after being on the list for six years after a bad blood transfusion that gave him Hepatitis C. Now, my dad is 45 years old and feels better than he has in 15 years.
My dad is one of the most reliable people I know. Anything I ask of him, he does. Whenever he tells me he is going to do something, it is always done before I get home from work. Whenever I need my dad, he is there. When I was ten and he told me my grandmother was going to die, I felt really down. He was the one there trying to cheer me up.
My dad has worked hard for everything he has. At home, he is always busy doing projects and has painted every room in our house. After our shop was built, he constructed an office you would think a professional built. When I do something stupid, he helps me fix it. Of course, he does his complaining, but I know he likes fixing things just as much as I like tearing them up.
My dad has been one of the greatest parts of my life. I have learned a lot from watching him and I don’t believe I will ever meet anyone like him. I hope when I grow up, I can possess the same qualities as my dad, and have someone look up to me as a good role model. This is why my dad is my hero.

“How did you do it, Dad ? How have you   21   not to take a drink for almost 20 years? ”It took me almost 20 years to have the  22  to even ask my father this very  23 question.

When Dad first 24  drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles  25  he got into a situation that, in the past, would have started him drinking again.For a few years we were  26  to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again.

“I had this little  27  that I would recite to myself  28  four to five times a day ” was Dad’s  29 to my 18-year-old unasked question.“The  30  were an instant relief and constant reminder to me that things were never so  31  that I could not handle them,”Dad said.And then he  32  the poem with me.The poem’s simple, yet profound (深奥的) words  33  became part of my daily routine as well.

About a month after this talk with my father,I  34  a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of affirmations (断言) with one affirmation listed for each  35  of the year.

I 36  opened the book to the page of my birthday to see what words of wisdom this book had in store for me. 37  of disbelief and appreciation rolled down my face.There,on my birthday ,was the  38  poem that had helped my  39 for all these years! It is called The Sereniry Prayer.

God,give me the Serenity(平静)to accept the things I cannot change,the Courage to  40  the things I can,and the Wisdom to know the difference.
