I’m an 18-year-old premedical student, tall and good-looking, with two short story books and quite a number of essays to my credit. Why am I singing such____16____of myself? Just to explain that the attainment of self-pride comes from a great deal of self-love, and to____17____it, one must first learn to accept oneself as one is. That was___18___ my struggle began.
Born and____19____in Africa, I had always taken my African origin as a(n)____20____. My self-dislike was further____21____when my family had to move to Norway, where I attended a high school. Compared to all the white girls around me, with their golden hair and delicate lips, I, a black girl, had curly-hair and full, red lips. My nose often had a thin sheet of sweat on it, ___22___the weather was like. I just wanted to____23____myself in my shell crying “I’m so different!”
What also____24____to my self-dislike was my occasional stuttering (口吃), which had weakened my self- confidence. It always_____25_____between me and any fine opportunity. I’d taken it as an excuse to avoid any public speaking sessions, and unknowingly let it rule over me.
_____26_____, as I grew older, there came a turning point. One day a white girl caught my eye on the school bus when she suddenly turned back. To my_____27_____, she had a thin sheet of sweat on her nose too, and it was in November! “Wow,” I whispered to myself, “this isn’t a genetic disorder_____28_____. It’s perfectly normal.” Days later, my life took another twist (转折). Searching the internet for stuttering cures, I accidentally learned that such_____29_____people as Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill also stuttered. I was greatly relieved and then an idea suddenly hit me — if I’m smart, I shouldn’t allow my stuttering to stand between me and my success. In other words, stuttering is no_____30_____to success.
Another____31____to my self-confidence came days later as I was watching the news about Oprah Winfrey, the famous talk show host and writer — she’s black too! Whenever I think of her story and my_____32_____dislike of my color, I’m practically filled with shame.
Today, I’ve grown to accept what I am_____33_____pride; it simply gives me feeling of uniqueness. The idea of self-love has ____34____a whole new meaning for me: there’s always something fantastic about us, and what we need to do is learn to_____35_____it.
