Question

At the age of three, I was discovered to be totally deaf. Having consulted many specialists, my parents made a(n)      that would forever alter my future.      sending me to a special education school for the deaf, they chose an ordinary one for me. All of my schoolmates and teachers there would have      hearing.

I experienced great      throughout my primary school because, in addition to the problems of      with the other students, I also      with most of my school work. I seemed to spend every spare moment doing homework just so I could     .

     for me, Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.

One morning, she asked the class a question. I      her lips and immediately raised my hand. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and even my classmates. Although a little afraid when I heard my named called, I felt unusually      because I was sure I had the right answer. I took a deep breath and      answered Mrs. Jordan's question.

Her response      all of us. Mrs. Jordan enthusiastically      her right foot on the floor and turned her right hand around in a full circle      it pointed directly at me. With shining eyes she cried, "THAT'S RIGHT, STEPHEN!"

I decided right then and there that I would make a(n)      in this world. No matter how many      I might come across in life, I knew I could overcome them.

The very three-word phrase entirely      my young life. From that day on, my grades and speech improved greatly, my      among my classmates increased, and my viewpoint on life did a complete turnabout.
