The summer I turned 12, I wished to grow up more quickly.
Summer camp was coming. and I was so worried about my _____ that I’d gotten into a big argument with my mom.
“But I’ll ______ it!” I cried. I was certain that everyone would see me as nothing more than “the short girl”.
“You won’t know anything _____ you get there, ” calmed my mom. And I had to ____.
On Monday, my teacher Maggie told us about the climbing course, and my heart sank when I saw the wall I was the ____ one to try to climb that huge wall. It might have been ten floors high, and knew that I had no ____ to succeed. But I had to, after the other campers finished.
I asked for a “short person’s pass,” smiling ____ and walking around the wall.
“You know. Amy, what the mind can believe, the heart can achieve. ” ____ Maggie. “I’d really like you to do your best to ____ the wall.”
I pretended(假装) to hurt my knee ____ I could avoid it.
“How’s the knee? Does it hurt a lot?” Maggie asked. She was so kind, which made me feel ____ because I didn’t like to lie.
Maggie was really patient, showing me ____ she climbed the wall. And some campers were there cheering for me.
I didn’t want to______ anymore, and I didn’t want to give up again. I could see how much everyone believed in me, and I wanted to show them how much I valued their ____, so I kept trying.
And then something ____ happened—I made it! “What the mind can believe, the heart can achieve,” Maggie reminded me. And this time I knew it was true.
