Are you a top student in your school, or...

Are you a top student in your school, or at least a top one in your class? If not, you may learn something from my story.

Growing up in a poor family with uneducated parents, I was not good at my study. But a teacher changed my life. Without her, I couldn^’t have  36  so much in my later career. I can still remember the very important day that has  37 my whole life.

I did so  38  in math that you may not imagine that I even couldn^’t count from “ONE” to “TEN”, when I was in Grade Three.

Then the 39_ day came. My father was asked to come to school to 40_ with my teacher, Ms King. You can^’t imagine how angry and 41_ my father was when he heard about my “excellent achievement”. He 42 at me：“since you can^’t even count from ‘ONE ’to ‘TEN’, what are you able to be when you  43_ up? Now, tell me！”I was scared and  44_ and didn^’t know what to say and tears came immediately into my eyes.

Then the most unforgettable time in my life came. “Maybe he can be a boxing refereeone day. That 45  only needs him to count from ‘ONE’ to ‘NINE’, which may

  46  him well.” Ms King looked into my eyes and firmly said.

Now, I am in my forties, and can you believe it that thanks to Ms King, I am really a well-known boxing 47 of WBO(World Boxing Organization),and that I do need to count only from “ONE” to “NINE”? So are still worried about your poor grades at school? Remember there will always be a place waiting for you!
