From the age of five, I was constantly surrounded by fear. It started when I was sent to boarding school. I used to 1 the bed and, the first night it happened, I knocked on the nuns' (修女) door to ask for 2. Instead, they made me do the walk of 3, carrying a packet of wet sheets through all the 4 as they announced, 'Make way for the bed - wetter,' and 5 the children to laugh and shout horrible things. That happened 6.
I grew into a problem 7 and spent much time in bars drinking to forget the hopelessness and 8. That's where I met my first husband, who turned out to be a 9 man. It was only when he 10 me into a state of unconsciousness that things changed. I knew I couldn't go back - if I did, I would 11. So I decided to remove the layers of pain and cruelty and 12 them with happiness and success. I started to read books about how to think highly of yourself. I got into 13 and won competitions, I realised, 'I am not a 14 person like the nuns and my husband told me.' I decided to take the 15 I used in sport - my determination to keep 16 - and apply them to everything in my life. That's when I 17 I was a really good business person.
Whatever your past has been, don't 18 it for who you are today. Thy and find something 19 in it. That's the only possible way to 20 those things, be brave and turn everything around.
