However, I 47 to sit in the back row. I decided to take a course. When I handed application form to the interviewer, she looked at me and advised me to 48 my choice from typing. But I was 49 to stay with it. She accepted me.

I hadn’t really planned on taking a trip this time of year, and yet I found myself packing rather hurriedly. I knew in 36 that this trip was going to be unpleasant.
I’m talking about my annual Guilt Trip. I got tickers to fly there on WISH – I – HAD’ airlines. I 37 my baggage all the way, which was weighted down with a thousand 38 of ‘what might have been’. No one greeted me at the ‘Regret City’ International Airport.
As I 39 into the Last Resort Hotel, I noticed to miss that great 41 occasion.
Many leading citizens went there. First, there was the ‘Should – Have - Done’ family. 42 came the ‘I – Wish’ family. Of course, the ‘Opportunities’ family, ‘Missed and Lost’, surely made an 43 . They each had a dad story to share. ‘It’s – Their - Fault’ treated us with stories about 44 things had failed in his life, and each story was applauded by ‘Don’t – Blame - Me’ and ‘I – Couldn’t – Help – It.’
To make a long 45 short, I became very depressed at the party 46 .
But as I though about all the stories of failures 47 from the past, it occurred to me that all of this trip and ‘pity party’ could have been cancelled by ME!
I truly realized that I didn’t have to be there to be 48 . One thing kept going through my mind – I can’t change yesterday, but I 49 have the power to make today a wonderful day. Knowing this, I left ‘Regret City’ immediately. Am I sorry for 50 I’ve made in the past? YES! But there is no physical way to undo them.
So, if you’re planning a trip to ‘Regret City’, please cancel all your reservations now. 51 , take a trip to a placed called ‘Starting Again’, which I like so much that I’ve made it my 52 residence. My neighbors, the ‘I – Forgive - Myselfs’ and the ‘New - Starts’ are so very helpful.
By the way, you don’t have to carry 53 heavy baggage, because the load is lifted from your shoulders 54 arrival. Surely you’ll find this great town – it’s in your own heart. Look me up if you’re ready for a (n) 55 changer in your life. I live on ‘I – CAN – DO – IT ’ Street.

After winning a big game，athletes are often asked how they feel．Usually athletes say how 36 it is to win this big game．On the contrary，the fact is that losing a big game，or in my case，all the games，can be even harder．

It was that moment that 49 me how to be a leader．It hit me that I certainly didn’t 50 the role．As a leader you can never quit 51 the team who looks up to you．It is one 52 to be named captain，feel great and go through the motions，but it is quite another to be a real captain and make sure everyone realizes their full 53 all the time．
I am sure it is great to go through without losing and bringing home awards．But in all honesty，I 54 the fact that my team lost every game last year．It may not help me to become a better basketball player，but it already has made me a better leader，and 55．
