When I was about 12, a girl in my class liked to point out my problems. I was too thin; I wasn’t a good student; I talked too much, I was too 46 , and so on. At last, I became very angry and ran to my father. He listened to me 47 . Then he asked, "Are these things true or not? Do you know what you are really like? Go and make a 48 of what she said and find the 49 that are true."
I did as he told me. To my great 50 , I discovered that about half of the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin). But there were things I could and wanted to change. For the 51 time, I got a clear 52 of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it. "That’s just for you. " he said, "You know the truth about 53 better than anyone else. When people say something that is true about you, you should find it helpful. "
Our world is full of people who think they know your business. Don’t 54 your ears and feel 55 . Listen to them.

From the time I was in the third grade, I knew I wanted to be a writer. After the first prize for my story, I spent much of my free time writing wild stories of strange living animals, kids’ fun experiences and poems(诗) of I felt about my world. In the fourth grade, I continued to write. I always took a small notebook with me so I could write whenever I felt writing something down on it.
When I started the fifth grade, my English teacher was Mrs. Foster. She was the teacher I’d ever had. She always had something nice to say about everyone, and she failed to say it out loud. I loved her much that I showed her my notebook and what I had been writing ever since the third grade. When she returned my to me, she had written encouraging notes on them, which made me really great.
“Don’t give up your dream, Kathy,” she said, “I didn’t give up . I always wanted to be a teacher, and here I am.”
I did what Mrs. Foster encouraged me to do. Now I have had most of my stories published (出版) in books and magazines.
The secret of success is to your dream. And sometimes, it takes other dreamers to help keep your dreams alive. I’m glad Mrs. Foster was a dreamer too.
