I was very quiet and shy before I became {#blank#}1{#/blank#} member of the Teen Board. At my first meeting, I remember that the Teen Board members really {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (encourage) me to speak, as I was quiet {#blank#}3{#/blank#}the whole meeting. It was then that I realized my opinion did matter and people wanted to hear my opinion. That really improved my confidence and self-worth.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (Be) a member of the Teen Board has helped me develop my voice around my friends, and that's {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (especial) true at school. One day, I saw a student being bullied (恐吓) by a big boy. I came to the boy and asked him {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (stop). There's no doubt (无疑) that the confidence I had gotten from the Teen Board helped me stand up.

    I joined the Teen Board {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I knew that the teens on the board would be a good influence. I also thought that many of them had probably faced similar school situations and knew that they would be a good support system.

    {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to the Teen Board, I become a more positive person. I no {#blank#}9{#/blank#}feel sorry for myself. Now, I'm a self-confident girl. And I want to {#blank#}10{#/blank#} my experience with others.

    Same was {#blank#}1{#/blank#} excellent boy and most classmates loved him. There was another boy {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (call) Tim in Sam's class. He was not good {#blank#}3{#/blank#} his lessons and always did {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (bad) in class. So no one loved him.

    Sam got a beautiful pen as gift from his parents on his {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (eight) birthday. He brought it to school to school so that he could use it to take notes in class. When Tim saw it, he was so jealous（嫉妒) that he put it in his bag during the break.

    Sam couldn't find his pen when he came back to his seat. He {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (tell) his teacher about it. With the teacher's {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, they found it in Tim's bag. {#blank#}8{#/blank#}, Sam wasn't angry with Tim. Tim had nothing {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (say) and he felt sorry. From then on, he changed a lot. And after that, he became friends with Sam and learned a lot form {#blank#}10{#/blank#}.
