The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with math or American history. It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School.
I was rather shy at that time, 41 to hang around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 42 . I was doing so well that by the end of senior year, I had 43 scores and enough credits to go to college.
But my good record soon became a 44 to my well-being. In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me into his office. He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation. I looked at him, my heart 45 fast. This was the 46 for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office.
I was 47 about the decision for several days, but finally agreed. I wasn't the only speaker -- I would 48 the honor with five other students. Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 49________ my power. How would I give a speech to hundreds of people?
Graduation Day soon arrived and, as 50 , I was nervous. I'd been practicing my speech for days, and I had it 51 . But I had never been so 52 in my life. The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 53 came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down. But within minutes, I accomplished my speech, 54 back to my seat.
Now I still have the 55 of that speech．My voice trembled a little, but 56 it was clear and strong. I'm proud of that tape. I achieved something I'd never 57 -- I spoke in front of hundreds of people. I didn't realize it at the time; 58 , the successful completion of that speech gave me the 59 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my 60 .
