My father 33 a gene which，in most cases，results in blindness. I’d inherited the gene. He gradually 34 his eyesight and so did I. At last we were both 35 blind—he was fifty-seven years old， 36 I was only twenty-eight.
My world 37 as the darkness fell， 38 the dreams my husband and I had for us and for our three little boys. But 39 I tried to find some hope and 40 ，my eyes were opened to a new realization.
My father had 41 me not just failing eyesight，but an example of 42 in the face of hardships as well. We were all living in Bolivia in 1964 when he decided to 43 the family to America. He worked tirelessly to 44 the right of living in the US.
Alone in the States，he 45 his helplessness and lack of fluency in English. He managed to rent a small apartment，and nine months later，sent airline tickets for my mom，my brother and me.
Decades later， 46 an American citizen，I look back at what he'd shown me. He set an example proving that determination is important to success. His 47 taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness.
I did the same as I stepped into a 48 world. I fulfilled (完成) my own 49 as a wife，mom，Sunday school teacher and Spanish interpreter. What I inherited from my father helped me to 50 my life in a whole new light.
