No One’s Words but My Own

The classroom was full of those of us who wanted to work on the school newspaper. I didn’t write a lot, but working on the paper sounded like fun. I liked the idea of being a reporter, interviewing my friends, and covering middle school events. 

To be chosen, we had to turn in an example of our _______. I wrote an article about the joys of summer, and showed it to my father, a talented poet. He read it and frowned(皱眉).

“It’s okay,” my father said, taking out a pencil. “But how about changing this sentence to …” And as a result, he rewrote the whole piece─without me, for I never said anything to _______ him.

No surprise─his version (版本) was wonderful. He had a gift for language. It was so much better than my piece that I turned in his version instead of mine. 

“Welcome to the Dundee School News,” my teacher said to me. But before I could be _______ about the news, he added, “based on that excellent article you wrote about summer, I expect you to write a personal opinion article every week for the second page of the paper.”

I was so surprised. I was unable to write at that level, but I couldn’t tell the _______ to the teacher, and I couldn’t ask my father for help, either.

That term working on the paper was really painful. And my teacher expressed _______, “Can’t you write something more like that first piece you wrote?” he said, each time I turned in my article.

I couldn’t, because at that age, I didn’t have my father’s ability and experience as a writer. Week after week, I tried hard, but my writing never _______ the level of the first article. 

At last, to my total shame, another student took my place. I _______ that my father rewrote my first article himself, instead of trying to help me to improve it. But in my heart I knew it was my fault (错误) because I allowed him to do it. 

Later, I did become a successful writer on my own. Looking back, I realized that the pain and shame of that school experience had a _______ side. It taught me to depend on myself and be myself. So every day, I try to use my own words, find my own style and be my own best self. It feels great.
