It's hard being an astronaut's son. I 1      ,everybody expects you to be special or 2       ,and I'm just an average student,and I'm average,too,when it 3       basketball f football T soccer,and baseball.

  I often wonder 4        my father ever had a son like me. I mean he's so 5        and so good at everything. So I used to dream about doing something spectacular (令人驚嘆的) to 6        my father and make him 7        me.

  In one class,my teacher 8       a Father's Day essay contest for us and the winners' essays would be read in front of all the parents and students. Af?ter school I walked home,9       my father,who I would write about in my essay.

  He sat with me in the 10        when I was a little kid and had a night?mare. He 11       me with a new puppy at my eighth birthday party. He sat and tried to 12        death to me when Grandpa Bob died. To me,he wasn't a worldfamous astronaut,just my dad.

 I wrote about all these 13        in my essay.

One of our neighbours said, "I 14       you'll win the contest,David. You're the only one in town who could write about being the son of an astro?naut. ”I    15       .

  I hadn't shown anyone the essay,but now I almost hoped I wouldn't win. I didn't want to win just 16        my father was an astronaut.

  I won the second prize. When I finished reading my essay,the 17       applauded. I saw my father blowing his nose. I went back to my seat.

  Dad nodded to me,18       his throat,and put his hand on my shoulder. "Son,this is the 19        moment of my life," he said.

  It was the proudest moment of my life,too. Maybe I'll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize,but just then,it was 20        just to be my father's son.
