I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn't spend much time with me.
Then one _1_(星期五)morning, I took part in a three-day self-help program for teenagers. _2_(是否)you believe it or not, that weekend changed my life. About 100 other teenagers were there. During the first two days I _3_(遇见)a lot of great people. I was glad because I made so many friends there.
On Sunday, the leader did an _4_(有趣的)exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”. He asked a girl which she liked better, chocolate or toys. She chose chocolate. Then he asked her to choose again _5_(在……之间)chocolate and toys. Of course, she didn't change her mind. This exercise told us that sometimes we don't have a _6_(选择)in life, and that sometimes we have to _7_(接受)something, rather than complaining. A girl _8_(站起来)up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者)and how much she hated her mother. “I want a new mom,” she cried.
“_9_(不幸运地), you can't have one,” the leader replied. “You have to recognize the mother that you have.”
This hit me hard. I realized that, for better or _10_(更糟的), my mom was my mom. I couldn't choose another mom, but I could try to make the best of the situation.
