I love music. I learned to play the guitar at 11 and I wrote my first song four years later. My dream -----to become a country singer.

After years of hard work, a record company was showing interest in me. One day during a trip to mountains, a friend gave me a bit of meth, a kind of drugs(毒品). I smoked it. And that was all that I thought about for the next year and a half. I couldn’t live without it.

When the police came to me, I looked like death. The first seven days in prison(监狱), I just slept. When I woke up on the eighth day, I had never known such shame and guilt(罪恶感). I walked down the hall to the pay phone. My mama is the best person on the earth, and I knew this was going to break her heart. When I heard her voice on the phone, I told her where I was. She just said, “Son, no matter what you did, I love you forever(永远).

Her words gave me the confidence to face my trouble(麻烦). And I also realized(意识到) this was my chance to start a new life.

When people hear my words, I hope they will not make the same mistake(错误) as I have, but I know that you can overcome(克服) almost anything, especially smoking drug. That’s why I share my story here.

Confidence(自信) is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude (态度). A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful(成功的). But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions(建议):

·Speak loud

When you are not confident, you can't do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.

·Play sports

Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.

·Encourage(鼓励) yourself

Write down a list(目录) of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you've done.

·Get rid of fear

Fear(恐惧) comes along with failure(失败). But it's easy to overcome (克服) if you know that failure is part of your life. Don't hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better.

·Pick up a hobby

If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding(杰出的). And it will make you happy and confident.
