    When I was a child I thought a lot about what it means to love. I once asked my mother if she loved me or my father {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(many), certain that I knew the answer — me. Instead, she bent down and looked at me{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the eye, hands gently on each shoulder. She explained that she couldn't help{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(love) me and that the love of a mother for her baby was incredibly strong. But then she told me that the love she had for my daddy was a love of{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(choose), which made it special.

I believe in love that is sustained by deliberate {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(kind) and the choice to see little acts as testaments of love and commitment rather than indicators of a spark that has died of love communicated each time he cooks meals and I schedule his dental appointment. This picture of love is certainly less{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(excite), but decidedly real, and more romantic in its own way because of the weight of its {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(real).

This, {#blank#}4{#/blank#} ， didn't bother me because math had always been my strongest subject. I patiently walked to the library, took my seat and did some deep breathing to help relax {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. But my mood quickly changed when I saw {#blank#}6{#/blank#} first question. I had no idea how to do it. I tried to stay positive and persevered {#blank#}7{#/blank#}I finally found the solution. With the problem {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(solve), I felt proud of my achievement. {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(fortunate), I then noticed that I had just 10 minutes left {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (complete) the rest!
