There was a boy who was forced to go to a
boarding (寄宿) school by his parents. Before being sent
away, this boy used to be the b{#blank#}1{#/blank#} student in his class. He was at
the top in every competition. But things changed after he went to the new
school. His grades started d{#blank#}2{#/blank#}. He hated being in a group. He was l{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
all the time. He felt he was worthless and that no one loved him. His parents
began to worry a{#blank#}4{#/blank#} him. But they did not know what was wrong with
him. So his dad decided to visit the school and have a t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} with him
by himself. They sat on the bench near the school. The father started asking
him q{#blank#}6{#/blank#} about his classes, teachers and sports with a smile on his
face. After some time his dad said kindly, "Do you know w{#blank#}7{#/blank#} I
am here today, my dear son?" The boy answered back q{#blank#}8{#/blank#}, "To
check my grades." "No, no," his dad replied calmly, "I am
here to make you u {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that you are the most important person for
me. I want to see you happy. I don't care about grades. I care about you.
Nothing could be more valuable than your h{#blank#}10{#/blank#}. You are my
life!" These words made the boy's eyes filled with t{#blank#}11{#/blank#}. He
hugged his dad happily. They didn't say a{#blank#}12{#/blank#} to each other for a
long time. After the talk, the boy knew there was someone in the world who
cared about him deeply. He meant the world to someone. From then on, the boy
felt confident in his life again.
