The letter was a great disappointment to me. It was from Holy Cross, the only school I really wanted to        . I scanned the page, “…. We had a great applicant pool this year. …We can’t offer spaces to            … and place you on our waiting list.”
“What does it say, honey?” my dad asked, his voice full of         for me.
“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”
“Well, at least it isn’t        ,” he said brightly.
“Yeah, but        , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be         . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for       ’.”
“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”
“That sounds lame（站不住脚的）, dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t         ,.”
Upset and annoyed, I  39 myself in my room. However，my father’s advice kept         in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the            that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.
“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.
“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a          to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would         to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best        . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t          it.” The words had poured out         I could stop them or check their desperate tone.
Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.
“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”
It was so         and I asked, “I’m sorry?”
“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will         the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk          to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2009.”
The whole experience taught me a lesson: if you truly want something, never, ever         .

As I looked outside the car window 18 my right, there was a small park 19 I saw a little boy around two years old, 20 freely on the grass as his mother watched him from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face 21 he had just been set free from some sort of prison. The boy would then fall to the grass, get up and without 22 run as fast as he could again, still with a smile on his face, as if 23 had happened.
However, with kids (especially at the early age)，when they fall down, they don’t perceive their falling down as a 24 , but instead, they treat it as a learning experience, as just another      25 . They feel compelled to try and try again 26 they succeed. The answer must be that they have not 27 “falling down” with the word “failure” yet. Thus they don’t know how to feel the state which 28 failure. What’s more, they probably think that it is perfectly Okay to fall down, and that it’s not 29 to do so. In other words, they give themselves 30 to make mistakes subconsciously. Thus they remain 31 .

No 34 of fear, nervousness, or being discouraged — as if he didn’t 35 the world around him. His only aim was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. I learned a lot from that observation and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.
