6、Care your dream

I always have the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina twirling around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would twirl in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my  1  . For hours I would dance  2 people were watching me.  3  woke me up when I heard a voice saying，I don’t know why you  4 trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty, slender little girls.  5  , you don’t have the talent to  6 be a ballerina.” I remember how those words paralyzed（使癱瘓）every   7  in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.

We lived in the country by a nearby lake and I would sometimes go there to hide I enjoyed    8    by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my   9    . There I was, looked     10    like a pretty ballerina dancer Reflections don’t   11   . Once the waves would come, my reflection was   12    , washed away just like my   13    . I sat there staring at the water, hoping that my reflection would reappear and be    14     .

As I grew older, I began to realize that the dream I had was never   15    , so it slowly died. It’s not that wanted it to die,   16    I allow it to die the day I started listening to the words. “You can’t do it.” When I   17   woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can’t just keep    18 in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the   19    I still go to the lake sometimes and sit there. Looking at my reflection is different now too. When I was young, I looked at how others saw me, now that I am older and  20  ; I look at how God sees me.
