Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that I struggled with for most of my middle school years and a part of my high school years.

At Riverview, 　36 was usually a nightmare (噩梦) for me. As I 　37 the dining hall, all the eyes would be fixed upon my bony figure. I would take my place at a table full of friends and 　38 to enjoy a “normal” lunch. The 　39 was that I would not always eat lunch, and that greatly 　40 my friends. They would watch to make sure that I was eating properly, almost 　41 food into my mouth.

And then, I transferred to Madison High School. I decided not to tell anyone at that school about my eating disorder since I had almost 　42 by that time. Strangely, I stopped fearing lunch when I started at Madison. No one knew that I had an eating disorder, 　43 they did not care what I ate. This 　44 a huge amount of stress from my life. It was still hard for me to eat in front of others, which is 　45 for an anorexic, but I was able to put some of my 46　 aside.

I was thankful for the students at Riverview, but they knew me only as an anorexic. My friends cared about my health, but they 　47 to care about me as a person. Truthfully, all I wanted was for them to 　48 me and not to fix on my eating disorder.

The students at Madison took the time to know who I 　49 was. They had no idea that I had been an anorexic, so that a particular label (标签) did not 　50 their opinions of me. I was finally 　51 for my talents and achievements, not my failures. I was honored as a good student. I was no longer afraid to show my true 　52 .

My days as an anorexic taught me many lessons that I would never 　53 . They taught me about life and how to be a better friend. I learned about the joy of 　54 tasks such as eating lunch. I appreciated the people who helped me to see that there is more 　55 life than having an eating disorder.

On a winter day, it rained heavily. While I was walking from the library at the end of my 　31 break, a man was walking towards me with two huge 　32 of brochures.

I thought, “What 　33 is that man trying to do? Carrying all those things?” Then all of a sudden he 　34 them all! What a terrible mess with hundreds of brochures all over the 　35 in front of me! “Oh, no,” I thought. The man 　36 his head helplessly in the rain and started trying to 　37　 all of the brochures up. I couldn’t believe how many people walked 　38 as if nothing had happened.

I thought, “I am not going to be one of those people who don’t 　39　 this man.” I wondered what I would 　40 people to react if I were that man. So, 　41 it was the end of my lunch time from work and I would be 　42 if I stopped to help him, I didn’t mind. If I 　43 what happened, I was sure my 　44 wouldn’t mind too much. So, I helped him gather them all. Then I asked if he would like a 　45　 carrying a box to where he went. He said yes gratefully.

I carried one of the boxes. The box I had to carry was very 　46 —as I’m quite a short and thin girl—but I didn’t 　 47　 . We got there and he thanked me very much for helping him 　48 . He also gave me one of these brochures about all the walks in and around the Bay of Plenty.
