The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history．It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School．
I was rather shy back then, content to        around with my few friends and to concentrate on my       I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough       to go to college．
But my good record soon became a       to my well-being．In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me into his office．He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation．I looked at him, my heart       fast．This was the      for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office．
I was        about the decision, finally agreeing to compromise．I wasn't the only speaker—I would             the honor with five other students．Still, it was doubtful whether the task was     me．How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people?
Graduation day soon arrived and, as     ．I was nervous．I'd been practicing my speech for days, and I had it       ．But I had never been so      in my life．The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my       came．My name was announced．I managed to reach the platform without falling down．But within minutes, I was      , heading back to my seat．
Now I still have the       of that speech．My voice trembled a little, but       it was clear and strong．I'm proud of that tape．I achieved something I'd never     I spoke in front of hundreds of people．     I didn't realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the      to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my       .
I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation．But I'm glad I did．I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments．

Your parents have just told you the news—you’re moving to a new house. How in the world will you tell your friends?
First, CALM DOWN. 36   a while to catch your breath and let the news sink in before you call your friends. Make   37   you have the whole story before you start telling people.
38 friends who need to hear the news from you. Think about 39 you’d like to tell them, and when. A face-to-face talk may be the best way to let 40 frie-
nds know, but the phone may be fine for others.   41  after school or on a weekend is good. You don’t want to drop big news like this on your friends during the school day.
HOW SHOULD YOU START? Say something like, “I have some big news I want to share   42   you.” That will prepare your friend for what is going to come. Then say, “I’m    43 .” Tell him as many details as you know,  44   let him know how you feel about it.
Each friend will have a different   45  to the news, so BE PREPARED. Some girls may   46  crying. But some may get   47 , some may get silly, and some may give you the   48   that they don’t care.   49  happens, be sure to talk to your friends if the things they do and say   50  your feelings.
Ask friends not to tell anyone else   51  you say it’s OK. You could say, “Please don’t tell   52  until Monday.” That will give you a   53  to let close friends hear the news from you first.
Ask your parents for help if you need it. A(n)   54  may be able to help you
55   the right things to say and help you understand your friend’s reactions.
