“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very  16  and think the world is laughing at you. But in fact, five minutes later, they have  17  it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the  18 .

    The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of  19  is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid  20  trouble.

    I admit that we should keep  21  because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your  22  can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do  23  to make things better.

    I used to be a(n)  24  girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in  25  when I couldn’t answer it.

    “If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t, how can I know  26  you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher  27  me to go to the blackboard and  28  what I knew. If I had  29  the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s  30 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I  31  you could do it!”

    Since then, I have become active in maths as  32  as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know  33  I do can make things better. Everyone is the  34  of his own fate.

    If we make mistakes, we should take on an active  35 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep, and you weep alone.

I studied engineering after enjoying top marks, as high school came relatively easy. Then university life came!

I thought that I must have some learning disorder, as it seemed that everyone else was absorbing the material and making progress while to me it was an insurmountable(不能克服的) struggle. There were never enough hours in the day and weekend to attend the lectures, study the lessons and then do the assignment.

During my darkest hour I called home to speak to my father: “Dad, I don’t think I can handle this.” My father then said something, which cut through me like a knife: “There is no returning home. If you quit, then you are on your own.”

I hung up thinking what a terrible heartless thing to say. Then, I determined to somehow gut it out(坚持到底). There seemed to be no other choices available! Soon afterwards, I noticed a sigh posted in a campus common area stating: “Studying Skills” with a place & time to meet. It said that “there is help available”. I attended that meeting! I soon discovered there were several others in a similar situation and that everyone wanted to help each other get through this challenging first term. I soon found a study partner, who helped me a lot, and I was grateful to him for his kind help.

Yes, it was still a very challenging first year, but I found the needed strength and support to get through it. In fact my father has been helping me since then, but he has done it in another way. I know now in my heart that he did the very best help he could to help me fly. Thanks Dad for the push!
