Question

I got a guitar for my birthday, and since then I have been struggling. It’s kind of sad. To be honest, it is     how many problems are caused by such little things in the life of a teenager .It has awakened another side of myself     me. And it couldn’t have happened at a worse time.

I’m a senior, I’m going to     soon and I know what college I’m going to. And now I have to deal with this little voice in my head constantly     me that I’m going to be a rock star, not a scientist.

So I was     to write my story, and across the room lay my beautiful birthday present. “Once upon a time,” I wrote. Then I stopped,     in my chair, and stared for a moment at the     . Its dark red paint was     and I could see my reflection in its perfect surface. And then my reflection started dancing and singing. I wasn’t     , but it sure was. I’d follow its     . So I seized my guitar and plucked (拨动) a string. I sat rocking with my guitar until late     the night. I was sure I was preparing for the     much more efficiently now that I wasn’t spending time writing stories.

Needless to say, no story was written, and many     arose in my mind. Since then, I have constantly asked, “Am I     for not wanting to do my work anymore?” More importantly,     , I’ve learned I really am going to be a rock star.
