My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents．It has taken many years of 36 my confidence to be able to do that．
I didn’t 37 how short I was until I started school．As time went on，I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be 38 my whole life．I was determined to make my 39 an advantage rather than a disadvantage．My friends became increasingly 40 . They’d help me up the bus steps．If people were cruel，they would take them aside and 41 them．
42 I lacked in height，I 43 in personality my ability to laugh，even at myself．For example，one time I was 44 the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes．I fell 45 in and yelled for Mother，who was sitting nearby reading the paper．Watching feet 46 everywhere，she laughed and said，“I should leave you in there.” I 47 her．
I’m 47 now，and the 48 have not reduced as I’ve grown older．People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse．They look 49 when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side．During those times，I try to keep a good 50 . When people are rude，I 51 myself，“Look what else I have --a great family，nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my life 52 ．“Why are you so short? How old are you? Are you a mommy?” When I talk with children，they are left 53 that their questions have been answered．My hope is that in taking time with them，I will 54 them to accept their peers，whatever size and shape they come in， 55 treat them with respect．

“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.

As I grew older and was __37__ to more, my interests in the world of dance __38__ varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a __39__ in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a __40__; I became a member of the company __41__ back to 1925.

I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.

Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.
As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy"s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children"s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others" needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion(同情) for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved(保守的) man, but to everybody"s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.
Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.
