完形填空

I came to study in the US last fall．My life had been quite 1 since I arrived at Andover．Although I had quite a few extracurricular(课外)activities, I hadn’t taken any official leadership position．

This 2 changed when I received an email from Ms Griffith, my cluster(a group of dorms)dean(主任), 3 that a new female DC Rep was needed．DC Rep 4 Discipline(纪律)Committee Representative(代表)．5 boarding school students break serious rules, like using 6, getting drunk or cheating in their studies．The punishments given to such students are 7 by a DC Rep, a house counselor, two student representatives, the cluster president and the cluster dean．I was really interested in becoming DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll, 8 so were five other students．We had to hold 9 and Ms Griffith asked us to write 10 to be sent to everyone in Pine Knoll．

I thought hard about what to write．I didn’t want to make any 11, because they are difficult to keep．I didn’t want to say I was experienced, because I was not．So I started my speech by explaining 12 I wanted to become a DC Rep．“I want to serve Pine Knoll and also learn how American boarding schools carry out discipline,” I wrote 13．

I made three 14 that said “Vote For Teresa” and put them on every exit of my dorm so that people would 15 my name when they went to vote．

Although I tried hard, I didn’t win the election．I was 16, but my positive(积极的)nature did not allow me to 17 for very long．I actually 18 when my friends tried to comfort me, “Teresa, I am sorry that you didn’t win the election,” they would say．

“No, don’t be sorry for me．I am very happy to have taken part in the election, ” I said．

It is true; the 19 is much more important than the result．I am surprised and happy to discover my hidden 20．
