For most people，graduation day is exciting.My graduation day， 1 ，was not. I remember that weekend two years ago.My family and my friends had come to watch our class walk across that 2 ．But like everyone in my graduating class，I had watched the economy 3 from bad to worse during my senior year.We graduates had 4 but very limited prospects(前程)．Numerous applications were 5 and I knew that the next day，when my lease(租约)ended，I would no longer have a place to 6 “home”．
The weeks 7 were not easy.I drove to California to find work.But what I thought would 8 me a week dragged into two，and then four，and 100 job applications later，I found myself 9 I was before.
Days 10 like weeks，weeks like months，and those many months seemed 11 ．The most 12 part was that no matter how much I tried，I just couldn't seem to make any 13 ．
Then I began to write.Something about putting words on a page made everything seem a little clearer—a little brighter.Something about writing gave me 14 ．
I put my frustration into a children's 15 ，one story of which was about a(n) 16 ，a little fish，who，fighting in a “river”， 17 to give up his dream.I kept on writing.And then one day， 18 any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world—just a lot of hard work and perseverance—I was offered a publishing contract for my first book！After that，things began to be in 19 soon.I was offered a second book deal.Then a few months later，I got an interview with The Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.
The lesson of the story：Work hard，give it time and don't give up.Often our
dreams lie in wait just a little further upstream.All we need is the 20 to push beyond the“river”．
