Believe in yourself

Dad was not only my best friend, but also my compass (指南针). While he was alive, he 13 me with his actions and advice. He taught me one important lesson: “Believe in yourself.”

If there was one phrase my dad never liked to hear, it was “I can’t.”At that time, he took two jobs to 14 his large family, but he never complained.

When I was in high school, I had a 15 time with math. My math teacher tried to help me, but I was still poor in math. So my math teacher suggested I meet with him at 7:00 each morning before school for extra help.

I told Dad,“That’s 16 ! I’m tired! I can’t do that!” He replied, “You’re doing it. I’ll send you to school.”

Every morning at 6:45, we’d leave the 17 . Although working 12 hours every day, Dad never missed driving me to school.

After months of learning, I was facing the final exam. I was so nervous. On the day of the final, my dad hugged me and said, “Luke, 18 yourself. You can do it.” His words made me realize I needed to trust in my ability and in the hours of work I’d put in. When I got my grade 19 , the first person I called was my father. He cried, “Yes! You deserved (该奖[罚]的，理所当然的) it!”

Even now, whenever I worry that a task is too much for me, I think back to that 20 . No matter how hard something is, if you’re willing to work, you can succeed. I’m forever thankful to Dad for that lesson.

I saved the grain (谷物) carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.

Then when my crop (庄稼) bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows（稻草人）, which turned out to be successful.
