Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens ,believe in yourself.”

When I was a young boy , I was 　17 shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often 　18 me.I was sad but could do nothing. Later, 　19 happened,and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to 　20 it .What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.

“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 　21 the contest.” Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic “Believe in yourself.” I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 22 .With my mother’s great love, I did 　23 in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place, I heard the cheers 　24 the teachers and the students. Those classmates 　25 once looked down on（看不起）me ,now all said “Congratulations!” to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.

Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell 　26 to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
