Growing up for me was a challenge. I started out at primary school and was always asked by my teacher to sit at the 36 of the class because I was a fool.
I kept 37 things: I forgot nursery songs and spellings. I was the 38 of class jokes and I was all alone and 39 . I hated school, but my dad would hear none of it. He kept telling me I was a 40 , if I believed it.
A 41 around came one day when I remembered the 42 of the word “Cognoscenti”; a word all the other “ 43 students ” had forgotten how to spell 44 they spent their free time making fun of me. I wasn’t asked to spell, 45 I raised up my hand. So I stood up and went to the front of class, 46 23 pairs of eyes staring at me. My teacher grabbed her stick, ready to hit me if I’d 47_ . I wrote the letters, spelt the word and became an instant champion. Afterwards, I 48 and won, for my school, five Spelling Bee championships.

He 51 six straight sets(盘,局) without sweat and there I was, sweating like I’d run a marathon, whereas I hadn’t even 52 a single point. My dad’s 53 kept playing in my ears “Stanley, you’re a champion if you believe it.”

Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived.Some day you will discover that, 51 my mistakes, I always wanted the 52 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you.You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me 53 you.You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 54 living.Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 55.I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
