    You may not know a lot of people when you start high school. This really makes you feel {#blank#}1{#/blank#} because you don't know who to talk to when you have problems.{#blank#}2{#/blank#} you know some freshmen(新生), you still feel worried that you don't know any elder students and teachers. How are you going to make friends with these unknown people? 

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} most high schools hold a freshman training before school actually starts. These are helpful because you learn your way around the buildings. You also get to meet some of your teachers and other freshmen. That way, you may already recognize a few{#blank#}4{#/blank#} faces when you go to school on your first day.

    One day, an 11-year-old boy, Robby, came into my classroom for his first piano lesson. Over the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, he tried very hard to learn the pieces, while I listened and encouraged him. However, he was not good at {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the piano.

    At the end of each week, he would always say ,"My mom is going to hear me play on the stage some day, "Then one day Robby {#blank#}3{#/blank#} coming to my lessons. I thought he gave up learning the piano.

    Several weeks {#blank#}4{#/blank#} our school planned to hold a concert. To my surprise, Robby came and asked {#blank#}5{#/blank#} he could be in it. He said his mother had been sick and unable to afford his piano lessons, but he was still practicing. I agreed to let {#blank#}6{#/blank#} play.

    Robby was the last to play at the concert. He chose a Mozart's piece. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} six and a half minutes, he ended. In tears, I ran up to hug Robby. " I've {#blank#}8{#/blank#} heard you play like that, Robby! {#blank#}9{#/blank#} did you do it? Robby explained, "Well, in fact my mother had cancer, but she comes here today. So tonight is the {#blank#}10{#/blank#} time that she has ever heard me play on the stage. I wanted to make it special".
