People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but    36  is the window for me?
　　I am not disappointed, just a little worried    37   as my roommate said, “ Why are you angry with yourself once you    38   to do anything?” I have no idea. I just can’t    39   me if I can’t understand some easy things. Currently, I just feel__ 40 _with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment on the lab, and what was    41   worse was that actually I did not understand what the    42   was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t    43   for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel    44  .
　　Before I came here I was confident. But I have totally lost it. Sometimes I can’t__ 45  find the right words; sometimes I am too shy to    46   others. I have to admit that I am    47  .
　　The wisest people are always    48   who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and    49   a lot of time soaking inside the workbook,    50  made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am   51   to get help the next time I have any questions. I can  52  I am not smart, but I shouldn’t hide it. I must    53   it as soon as possible.   54  I will have to waste much more time on it—just like tonight.
　  Difficulties always go with me. Go   55  ! I can make it.

By the third year of teaching I’d begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children. I was teaching fourth grade and my students had made me   16  . I just had to get through one of the hardest days of the school year.
