Life is not easy, so I'd like to say "When anything happens, believe in yourself."
When I was a young boy, I was 1 shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often 2 me. I was sad but could do nothing, Later, 3 happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to 4 it. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school.
"Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to 5the contest. "Then mother and I talked about many different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in yourself." I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 6 . With my mother's great love, I did 7in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place, I heard the cheers 8 the teachers and the students. Those classmates 9 once looked down on（看不起）me, now all said "Congratulations!" to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell 10to be sure and I will find myself. This is not only for a person but also for a country.
