Although the road to your goal is always full of difficulties, everything is for your wish, as long as you are full of passion and determination.
My daughter, Alice 1 some terrible illness in her early childhood. Luckily, after years of regular treatment (治疗), she finally became 2 .
Two years ago, while watching the Olympics, a dream 3 into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she practiced hard and finally 4 our local swim team. From that day on, Alice kept swimming and didn't 5 a single practice. She had a 6 desire within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 7 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 8 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. Alice was upset to be 9 that she wasn't a winner-ever. But that didn't 10 her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Alice didn't expect any award but was still there to cheer on her friends. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 11 "The highest honor goes to Alice!" Looking around, he continued, "Alice has inspired us with her 12 and enthusiasm. 13 skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset (财富) one can hold is the heart."
It was the greatest 14 of my daughter's life. With all she had gone 15 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph (成功).
