My family moved into this house nine years ago and we called the area in front of our house “rock garden” as it was full of rocks.

Last summer, I found a tiny little plant in the _____ but I didn't know its name. I _____ I didn't plant it. We decided to let it continue growing until we could_____ what it was.

After a month and as I made my way back to the mysterious plant, I found it seemed to be a sunflower. I decided to treat it _____ and remove the weeds (杂草) around it. As I pulled _____ from the area to get to remove the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started_ where I saw the stalk(茎) to grow. It had begun _____ under a big rock.

That's when I realized that_____ a tiny little sunflower didn't let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we would also have the ability to do the same thing. We need to believe in ourselves, knowing we have the _____ to achieve our aims. Like the sunflower, it was sure to be_____.

Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what you are, and the environment will begin to______ you. You will find a way to reach your goals.
