Songs brings us through our life. Each time I listen to my favorite song Reach, I'm deeply 1 by its lyrics: "If I could reach higher, just one moment touch the sky…" When we hear this 2 song sung by Gloria Estefan, we can 3 imagine how she managed to return to the stage after her serious back injury. In 1990, this Cuban singer was 4 in a terrible traffic accident, and the doctor declared that she might never walk again. But Gloria didn't give up and kept on working hard toward her 5 . Just one year after the disaster happened, she stood up again and 6 this encouraging song at the Atlanta Olympics.
7 I think of Gloria, a memory crowds in my mind. When I entered university, naturally shy, ordinary looking, and with 8 scores in my lesson, just like an ugly duckling. I seemed to be the 9 outstanding one in my class. Continuous failures drove me into 10 . "Am I to take a back seat to everyone else?" 11 to give in to such a fate, I spared no effort to work on my lessons and joined in many activities, such as English speech contests and dramas. I just wanted to catch every little chance 12 myself. Luckily, all I had done finally paid off. I received some 13 . More importantly, I gained courage and confidence to face any difficulty in my life.
14 is just like farming. You 15 what you plant. Once you have a dream, don't hesitate. Keep moving.
