Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that I struggled with for most of my middle school years and a part of my high school years.

At Riverview, 　36 was usually a nightmare (噩梦) for me. As I 　37 the dining hall, all the eyes would be fixed upon my bony figure. I would take my place at a table full of friends and 　38 to enjoy a “normal” lunch. The 　39 was that I would not always eat lunch, and that greatly 　40 my friends. They would watch to make sure that I was eating properly, almost 　41 food into my mouth.

And then, I transferred to Madison High School. I decided not to tell anyone at that school about my eating disorder since I had almost 　42 by that time. Strangely, I stopped fearing lunch when I started at Madison. No one knew that I had an eating disorder, 　43 they did not care what I ate. This 　44 a huge amount of stress from my life. It was still hard for me to eat in front of others, which is 　45 for an anorexic, but I was able to put some of my 46　 aside.

I was thankful for the students at Riverview, but they knew me only as an anorexic. My friends cared about my health, but they 　47 to care about me as a person. Truthfully, all I wanted was for them to 　48 me and not to fix on my eating disorder.

The students at Madison took the time to know who I 　49 was. They had no idea that I had been an anorexic, so that a particular label (标签) did not 　50 their opinions of me. I was finally 　51 for my talents and achievements, not my failures. I was honored as a good student. I was no longer afraid to show my true 　52 .

My days as an anorexic taught me many lessons that I would never 　53 . They taught me about life and how to be a better friend. I learned about the joy of 　54 tasks such as eating lunch. I appreciated the people who helped me to see that there is more 　55 life than having an eating disorder.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s 　36 filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so 　37 that I decided to write an article about her.

I 　38 Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She 　39 and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I 　40 I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.

I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there 　41 , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that 　42 Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The 　43 was almost unbearable. I struggled for days 　44 draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

It didn’t take long. My manuscript 　45 . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I 　46 in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t 　47 the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Five years later, I was moving to California. While 　48 my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in 　49 :

Ms Profit,

Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some 　50 materials. Please add those and return the article immediately. We would like to 　51 your story soon.

Shocked, it took me a long time to 　52 . Fear of rejection cost me 高考资源网ly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of 　53 writing. Today, I have become a full – time writer. Looking back on this 　54 , I learned a very important lesson: You can’t 　55 to doubt yourself.
