I got a guitar for my birthday, and since then I have been struggling. It’s kind of sad. To be honest, it is
____ how many problems are caused by such little things in the life of a teenager .It has awakened another side of myself
____ me. And it couldn’t have happened at a worse time.
I’m a senior, I’m going to
____ soon and I know what college I’m going to. And now I have to deal with this little voice in my head constantly
____ me that I’m going to be a rock star, not a scientist.
A few weeks ago I was given the

____ and I could see my reflection in its perfect surface. And then my reflection started dancing and singing. I wasn’t

____ . So I seized my guitar and plucked (拨动) a string. I sat rocking with my guitar until late
____ the night. I was sure I was preparing for the

____ for not wanting to do my work anymore?” More importantly,
____ , I’ve learned I really am going to be a rock star.
