I’m an 18-year-old premedical student, tall and good-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays to my credit. Why am I singing such_________of myself? Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to_________it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was_______ my struggle began.

Born and_________in Africa, I had always taken my African origin as a(n)_________. My self-dislike was further_________when my family had to move to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly-hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it,     _______the weather was like. I just wanted to_________myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!”

What also_________to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self- confidence. It always__________between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me.

__________, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my__________, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic disorder__________. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took another twist (转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such__________people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me — if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. In other words, stuttering is no__________to success.

Another________to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk show host and writer — she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my__________dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame.

Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am__________pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has ________a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to__________it.

【推荐2】In the corner of my desk is a note, slowly yellowing from time. It is a card from my mother, containing only four sentences, but with enough impact to _________ my life forever.

Your Dad and I are very _________ of your accomplishment, but could you try to _________ in class?”

The same was _________ of our younger daughter. She treats the floor of her room as a closet, which has often caused me to say, “Yes, that project is great, but _________ your room!”

I’ve noticed that other _________ do the same thing. “Our whole family was together for Christmas, but Kyle skipped out early to play his new computer game.” “The hockey team won, but Mike should have made that last __________.”

But, but, but.

Instead, what I have learned from my mother is to start thinking “and, and, and”. __________, “The hockey team won, and Mike did his best the whole game.”

Now, I am firmly __________ that “but” feels bad, “and” feels good. This is not to say that children don’t need or won’t respond to their parents’ __________. They do and they will. When those expectations are consistently __________, amazing things happen.

“No more buts!” is a call for __________. And if I ever forget, I have my mother’s note to remind me.
