People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but 31 is the window for me?
I’m not disappointed, just a little worried 32 as my roommate said, “Why are you angry with yourself once you 33 to do anything?” I had no idea. I just can’t 34 myself if I can understand some easy things. Now, I just feel 35 with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment(任务) on the lab, and what was 36 worse was that actually I didn’t understand what the 37 was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t 38 for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel 39 .
Before I came here, I was confident. But I have totally 40 it. Sometimes I can’t even find the right words: sometimes I am too shy to 41 others. I have to admit that I am 42 .
The wisest people are always 43 who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and 44 a lot of time soaking inside the workbook, 45 made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am 46 to get help the next time I have any questions. I can 47 I am not smart, But I shouldn’t hide it. I must 48 it as soon as possible. 49 I will have to waste much more time on it ---just like tonight.
Difficulties always go with me. Go 50 ! I can make it.

Now, after “higher education”, and three__28__ career paths, I have come back to want to be a ___29____, but my reasons have changed. I was __30___ in my years of high school, to have teachers that really ___31__ me as an individual, and I want to___32___this back.

I break off a piece of candy and take pleasure in its sweet outside and the bitter, dark chocolate inside, thinking of my own life. Being raised by a single parent was a bitter-sweet 36 , which gave me motivation and ambition.
There were several years that have left a(n) 37 bitter taste in my mouth —those when my mother married a man and moved my sister, Emily, and me several states away from our hometown. The first few months were 38 : baseball games, family trips to the mall, dinners and movies together. Then things changed. Baseball became too expensive, and trips to the mall were 39 by days Emily and I spent isolated (孤立的) in our rooms under our stepfather’s 40 . Moreover, screaming matches between him and our mother always 41 dinner. We spent five years living in a family that had 42 a war zone. Emily and I almost grew used to this situation . Then one evening, after another argument had erupted , we left home. I was 14, my sister 11, and we were 43 .A friend of my mother let us stay with her.
Instead of focusing on our economic instability, my mother selflessly pushed me to struggle for success. She wanted me to lead a more 44 life than hers. She worked long hours every night to pay her bills. 45 , she would find time to read and play with Emily and me. Mom taught me the 46 of perseverance (坚持不懈) and education. We finally settled in Texas. And now, writing this essay with my favorite candy close at hand, I realize my family and I are at the best points of our lives. I haven’t let the trying times stop me from making 47 , both academically and personally. I know that a bitter environment can provide good learning experiences, and that success, even more than candy, is the sweetest treat of all.
