完形填空
It was a dark day, one of depression, sorrow and anger．As I climbed out of the 1 , after witnessing my time in the 100 yard freestyle, I did not feel like speaking to anyone．I saw the bright smiles of swimmers who had just 2 a best time． 3 , I had failed．Or at least that is what I thought at the time．
I was lying on my cool bed when an idea 4 me．Success is the 5 to go from failure to failure without losing your 6 ．At practice the next day, I told my swimming teammates about my goal time and they all either laughed or replied with a 7 similar response like, “You can't do it” or “Probably not”．Believe it or not, these are the responses that make my goal 8 ．
Finally came the day when I had to 9 to myself and others that with 10 there is no limit to your achievements．
With the starting gun 11 , I dived with perfect form into the pool．I felt the cool water running 12 my back．I swam like a fish, bouncing off each 13 at the wall as if it was a spring board．On the 14 turn, I came back to the wall with every piece of strength I had．I 15 the final wall with my fingertips and I knew that I had swum the 16 race．
I had done it! I had achieved my best time! Joy filled my 17 like water does a cup．I saw the 18 on all of my friend's face as I 19 out of the pool; their jaws dropped to the ground．I began to laugh and gave them the thumbs up．
I have 20 in life that having belief in yourself opens all gates．Never forget that anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve．
