Ashley was outspoken, fashionable, and the "Queen Bee" in my school.

I looked up to her and idolized her. I listened to the music 1 listened to, wore the clothes she wore. I even took art class 2 I had really wanted to take theater. I finally fitted in her group.

One day, I walked out of my last class a few minutes earlier to 3 for our group at the dining hall. Concentrating on my homework, I didn't notice they had sat down 4 me. Before I could turn back to say a word, I realized what they were talking about.

I listened 5 . "She's such a loser," one girl said.

Another girl added, "Ashley, she always follows you, trying to 6 you."

"I wish she would leave us alone. We were in the same summer school and now she thinks we're best friends." The once familiar voice sounded so cold and 7 .

I was mortified. My hands were shaking. I couldn't help crying sadly. I felt heart-broken for the very first time. How did this happen? I thought we were 8 .

I ran home. My mother just held me while I sobbed for hours. The 9 she gave was so simple, and I had heard it a million times. "Just be yourself and people will like you for 10 you are." This time it became so 11 . Then and there I decided to find myself back. That was exactly what I did.

Over the next month, I went through a lot of 12 . I bought new clothes that I wanted to wear. I no longer went to 13 class with them, and took theater. I began making new friends. I developed my own opinions and never again followed the crowd.

I had a (an) 14 school year. When I look back, I think it was the year when I discovered the person I was going to be. Despite the pain I felt that day, it was a 15 they had given me. I will never forget about it!

What do you think of your father? Maybe we have 1 ideas. As for me, my father always 2 me and stands by my side. He is the "VIP (very important person)" in my life. Now I want to 3 some stories between us.

When I was a kid, my father was often 4 . I spent a lot of time 5 my grandmother. At that time I could really be called a naughty (顽皮的) girl and often couldn't control (控制) 6 . I didn't know 7 my father couldn't stay at home and play with me like other children's fathers.

As time went by, I studied in a boarding (寄宿) school. One day I told my father 8 the phone that I missed my mother's 9 very much. To my surprise, when I was preparing to go to bed, one of my roommates told me that 10 was calling me. I ran out and saw that my father was there, outside of the gate of the dormitory, with a 11 box in his hand. I went 12 to him and he gave me that lunch box. He was tired by the long trip. Without 13 anything, he went away. Back to the dormitory I couldn't help 14 .

I just want to tell you that the 15 from your father may come in its own way and I really love my father.
