I still remember my first 10,000m race. That was an unforgettable experience. I was not good at running. I was not strong enough, either. Why did I take part in the race? That's because of my volunteer work. When I was 14 years old, I volunteered to work at the water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to pass out water to the runners. I felt e【1】 when I saw all the different kinds of people pass by and take a cup of water hurriedly. Some ran past, some walked past and a few wheeled past. After seeing so many t【2】 of people do it, I thought maybe I could also do it. So the next year I signed up for the race.

During the race, I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Sometimes I was even not sure i【3】 I could finish. Then came an important moment.

At one point near the end, an old man ran past me, very, very fast. Therefore, I was embarrassed because I was much younger than him, but I couldn’t keep up with him. I felt hopeless for a second. But then I r【4】 something. He was running his race and I was running my race. He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had m【5】. Remember my goal was only to finish.

I learned something important at that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration (鼓舞). I decided that I would not give up though many people ran past me. As I c【6】 the finish line, I was proud of my success.
