The letter was a great disappointment to me. It was from Holy Cross, the only school I really wanted to 41 . I scanned the page, “…. We had a great applicant pool this year. …We can’t offer spaces to 42 … and place you on our waiting list.”
“What does it say, honey?” my dad asked, his voice full of 43 for me.
“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”
“Well, at least it isn’t 44 ,” he said brightly.
“Yeah, but 45 , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be 46 . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for 47 ’.”
“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”
“That sounds 48 , dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t work.”
Upset and annoyed, I 49 myself in my room. However，my father’s advice kept 50 in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the 51 that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.
“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.
“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a 52 to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would 53 to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best 54 . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t 55 it.” The words had poured out 56 I could stop them or check their desperate tone.
Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.
“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”
It was so 57 and I asked, “I’m sorry?”
“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will 58 the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk 59 to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2009.”
The whole experience taught me a lesson: if you truly want something, never, ever 60 .

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “__1___ would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 2___.”As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 3 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt, His glasses went 4 and landed in the grass.
I ran over to him. 5 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 6 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the top student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 7 to prepare a graduation speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 8 .So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be 9 !” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 10 those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends, I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 11 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with 12 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 13 me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 14 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 15 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

He must really be 12 .” As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 13 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 14 and landed in the grass.
My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 15 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 16 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.

Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 25 of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.
