We live on the earth. We should study and work. We may meet a lot of difficulties. Life is not easy,
so I'd like to say, "When anything happens, believe in yourself!"
When I was 16, I was too nervous to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad
but could do nothing. Later, something happened. It changed my life. It was an English speech contest.
My mother asked me to take part in it, What a terrible idea! 'It meant l had to speak in front of all the
teachers and students of my school!
"Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win. " Then, my mother and I talked about many
different topics. At last I chose the topic "Believe in Yourself". I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With my mother's great love, I did well in the contest. I could hardly
believe my ears when the news came that I had got the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers
and students. They all said:" You are great! " My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be sure and I will
find myself. Confidence can make our life easier and better.
