Life is not easy, but I'd like to say, "When anything happens, believe in yourself."

When I was young, I was __________ shy that I couldn't talk to anyone. My classmates often __________ me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest. It meant I had to __________ in front of all the teachers and students in my school!

"Come on, Dear. Believe in yourself. You are sure to __________." Then, my mother helped me __________ the topic—Believe in yourself. I practiced very hard. __________ my mother's great love, I won the first prize in the contest. I could __________ believe my ears. I heard the __________ from the teachers and students. "Congratulations!", my mother said to me __________.

Since then, everything has changed for __________. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to have confidence(自信).
