6.Years ago I had the opportunity to meet a girl who strengthened my understanding of the power of belief.She was (21)Dthe most powerful individual I had ever met.I met Chris for the first time while taking the Dale Carnegie(22)Bin California.

When asked by the instructor what her goal(30)Bthe twelveweek course was,Chris struggled to respond and became frustrated and(31)Cin the process.For most of her(32)D,nobody would listen to her.The only way she knew to get someone to(33)Cwas through temper outbursts(发脾气).With Bonnie as her interpreter,Chris conveyed that her(34)Bwas to be able to stand by herself in front of fortyfive people and tell us about herself.
On the twelfth week,Chris stood in front of the room and(35)Dwith us,in her own words,what her life had been like.It was one of the most beautiful and enlightening experiences I had ever(36)CThough as a girl who had in many ways been(37)B,she believed that she could(38)Bmore in her life and she did.And she also had the love and support of fortyfive friends,who,just weeks before,had been(39)Astrangers.
What we all witnessed through Chris'courage is that life is(40)Dmoment by moment,based on our beliefs,which are relevant to both our personal and professional direction and have the power to make our wildest dreams come true.
