  8 a young girl, Dorothy wanted to be a concert singer,  9  . She studied in France, Italy, and in the United States. You can be a fine singer  10  , her teachers told her, but you must  11  to study hard and work for many years. There will be  12  time for anything  13  music in your life.

 Dorothy was eighteen  14  that time and she was sure that music was  15  she wanted or needed to fill her life.

 For almost a year Dorothy thought of nothing  16 . Then she met David, a young engineer  17  in Europe.

It's hard being an astronaut's son.I mean, everybody  1 you to be special or perfect, and I'm just a (n)  2  student, and I'm also ordinary, too…when it  3  basketball, football, soccer and baseball.

I wrote about all these 13  in my essay.

One of our neighbors said, "I 14 you will win the contest, David.You are the only one in town who could write about being the son of an astronaut.”I 15

I hadn't shown anyone the essay, but now I almost hoped I wouldn't win.I didn't want to win just 16 my father was an astronaut.

I won the second prize.When I finished reading my essay, the audience (听众) applauded.I saw my father blowing his  17 .I went back to my seat.Dad nodded to me, 18 his throat and put his hand on my shoulder."Son, this is the 19 moment of my life, he said.

It was the proudest moment of my life, too.Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but just then, it was 20 just to be my father's son.
