After six
months of living in New
Zealand, I realized one thing. Despite my 36
for greater contact with
local students, 37 I initiated(开始)
the contact, it wouldn’t happen. Local students are not interested in contacts
with the international students, because they regard us as shy, 38 and sometimes snobby (势利的)
people. Of course we know that’s not true. I want to change their opinions.
After 39 the problem, I put
on my “confidence mask” each morning and walked around with a smile on my face.
I chatted with people whenever I had the chance. I showed that I was not afraid
to 40 them, and that I was worthy of being a
friend.
A side-effect
of my 41 confidence was
that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the 42 of my room, where
no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions. All the rejections, funny looks,
and 43 behind my back
calling me a weirdo(古怪的人) melted into tears. Once that was done, I would
put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day.
It finally
worked My name became known
throughout the school as I appeared to be 44 and active.
Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask. I
had real friends.
Instead of dragging myself to school and 45 to be happy, I was truly
happy. I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as
Deputy Head boy----the first international student to receive the title.
From my 46 in New Zealand, I believe one thing
will always be true: If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve
your 47 dreams.
