　　One Possible Version
　　Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school. Disappointed as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patient and considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I worked hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always available. Soon, I became one of the top students in my class, which greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated.
　　My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are.
　　三年前一次重要的考试我的失败了，（只能）成为一个普通的学校一名学生。寒酸的校园和破旧的教学设备令我失望，我发现老师很体贴并且有耐心。此外我喜欢班上友好的氛围。我决定充分利用它。我努力学习并且和老师同学相处得很好。每当我遇到困难他们总会帮助我。很快，我成为了班里的尖子生，这大大的增强了我的自信和激情。
　　我的经历告诉我并不是给了你什么你你就能充分利用它，决定权在于你自己。
