I was not a confident person before. That’s because I was fat and others often 21 me. As a result, I became very shy. I was scared (害怕) to say hello to strangers, let alone (更不用说) talk or hang out (闲逛) with them. I was afraid to ask simple questions and speak loudly 22 others. It seemed that I felt afraid of 23 in my life. I used to believe that I would be like this all my life.

But one day, my friend Paul’s words changed my mind. He 24 me to change myself. He said, “If you can give it a try, you still have a 25 to make a change. But if you 26 try, your life is only going to get worse.” I was blown away (深受打动) by what he said. After all, I had nothing to lose. Why not have a try? The first thing I did was lose weight. I had a 27 diet and did exercise every day. After six months, I lost ninety pounds. This taught me that I could change myself. A few months later, I heard about a speech competition at my university. I plucked up the courage (鼓起勇气) to sign up for the competition. For the first time, I was able to 28 my story and speak loudly in front of dozens of (许多) people. After the competition, I made a to-do list and started changing in a very short time. I tried my best to 29 the things on the list one by one. When working on them, I became more and more confident. I am still 30 now. And I will never stop.
