However, without my parents’_______that dream seemed impossible to achieve. One summer, my parents were very busy. My little sister Amy was going to dance lessons.

One day Amy asked me to dance with her in the school dancing competition, because_______of the boys in her class would like to do that. They thought she was slow. “You can be a good dancer!” I _______her. “Let’s show those people that they are wrong.” In the following months, we practiced every evening, still hiding from our parents.
Finally came the big day I became_______when I saw my parents watching the competition. But as the music began, I took a deep breath and tried to put my heart into the dance. We moved perfectly, shining with pride. From the_______of the crowd, I was sure we had done a good job.
