In the past I didn't like my mum． She was always working． She didn't (1) much time with me． One month ago I took part in a three-day self-help programme for students． (2) you believe it or not， that weekend changed my life．
About 100 students were there． During the first two days we met many great people． I was glad． On Sunday， the teacher of the programme did an interesting exercise (3) "Chocolate or Toys"． He asked a girl to choose which she liked better． The girl (4) chocolate． Then he asked her to choose again (5) chocolate and chocolate． Sure， she didn't have a choice．
This exercise told us that sometimes we don't have a choice in life， and that sometimes we have to accept (6) ．
A girl stood up and said she didn't like her mother．
"I want a (7) mum，" she cried．
"Unluckily， you can't have one，" the teacher (8) ． "You have to accept your mother．"
This hit me (9) ． Then I knew that， for better or (10) ， my mum was my mum． I couldn't choose another mum， but I could try to make the best of the situation．
