My wife and I moved into our home two years ago. We had a yard with a lot of      ．Very often when we have flowers, Denise or I would plant some between the rocks, just to add some      to the area．

Last summer, I found a tiny little     in the yard that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it      growing until we could find out what it was.

Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the     plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. I decided to     the weeds around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something      . The sunflower had not      where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big     and grown under and around it to reach the     ．

That’s when I     that if a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its     of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. If we     ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we     to go and get what we need for growth．

We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the     to achieve our goals. Like the     , it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had     in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be     who and what we are, then the environment will begin to     us. We will find a way to go under or     any “rocks”in order to reach our goals．
