my neatest handwriting, carefully prepared for my interview, and gathered a pack of recommendation letters. I was certain that nothing 43 keep me from my dream job.
But after my 44 , the manager of the Water Zone told me that he could hire only those with experience in water safety. I was 45 . I felt like a failure. On the last weekend before school ended, my teacher, Mrs. Keller, asked me 46 I would be interested in the kids’ summer day camp. I decided that I had nothing to 47 , so I called the manager and 48 an interview. She was 49 by my babysitting experience and employed me. In less than a week, I had completely 50 about wanting to work at the water park. Each time I comforted a little boy who missed his mother or a little girl who needed to help tying her shoes, I felt I was doing something 51 . I realized that I had discovered my life’s 52 : to work with children. I now have a new goal. I’m going to study to become an elementary school teacher.
Sometimes in life we don’t get 53 what we want. Our dream guy or girl may not be interested in us. The coach may not select us for the team. A certain employer may not choose to hire us. It’s natural to feel 54 ; I sure did. But I also learned an important lesson. Occasionally, when we don’t get what we want, something even 55 is waiting for us around the corner!

As I watch a single horse running across the field, I think back to when I saw my first horse. She was standing in a field. “Hold out your hand. Gentle now,” my grandfather said. Nervously, I did. Stepping toward me, she turned her head to inspect me with one coffee-colored eye. At that moment, I could have known she smiled.
