It’s hard being an astronaut’s son. I _________ , everybody expects you to be special or _________  , and I’m just an average student; and I’m average, too, when it _________ basketball, football, soccer, and baseball.

I often wonder _________  my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so _________ and so good at everything. So I would often dream about doing something amazing to_________ my father and make him _________ me.

In one class, my teacher _________ a Father’s Day essay contest for us and the winners’ essays would be read in front of all the parents and students. After school I walked home, _________  my father, whom I would write about in my essay. One of my classmates said, “I _________  you’ll win the contest, David. You're the only one in town who could write about being the son of an astronaut.”

My father is an astronaut — I would start out with that?  No. The whole country and maybe even the whole _________ saw my father as an astronaut,   _________ that wasn't the way I saw him.

How did I _________ my father? Hmm.

I saw him sitting with me in the _________ when I was little and had a nightmare（梦魇）.

I saw him teaching me how to throw a baseball.

I remembered how he _________ me with a new little dog at my eighth birthday party.

And I remembered how he tried to _________ death to me when Grandpa Bob died.

To me, he wasn’t a world-famous astronaut, just my dad.

Eventually I won the second prize. When I finished reading my essay, the _________ applauded. I saw my father blowing his nose. I went back to my seat.

Dad nodded to me, _________ his throat, and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the   _________ moment of my life,” he said.
