Life is not easy, so I'd like to say “When anything      , believe in yourself.”
When I was 14, I was     nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often      me. I was sad but could do    .            , something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to        in front of all the teachers and students of my school!
"Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to         ." Then, Mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I      the topic "Believe in yourself ". I tried my best to      all the speech and practiced it over 100 times.         my mother's great love, I did well in the contest. I could     believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the      from  the teachers and students. Those      who once looked down on  me, now all said "Congratulations!" to me. My mother hugged me and cried     .
      then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will find myself. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.
