Big things were happening in my life the summer after I turned 13. In the middle of that summer, my parents   【小题1】  my entire world and turned it upside down   【小题2】  they told me they were getting a divorce. I couldn’t believe that our family was going to   【小题3】.

Even though I  【小题10】 all Dan’s attempts to get to know me and wasn’t very   【小题11】  to him, he never gave up on me.  【小题12】, I began to trust him.

Better still, Dan showed an interest in me that I had never experienced from my own father. Dan was always around when I needed   【小题15】  on school or friends.

Instead, being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favorites.
