Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself.”

When I was 14, I was too ???? to talk to anyone. My classmates often???? me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later,???? happened. It changed my life.

It was an English speech（演讲）contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to ???? in front of all the teachers and students of my school!“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to ??? . ”Then, Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I? ?? ? the topic“Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and ???? it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ???? when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the???? ? from the teachers and students. Those classmates who once ???? ? on me, now all said “Congratulations!”to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself.
