1
When I was five years old, someone gifted me a 3 ,000 piece puzzle on my birthday.
2
My parents thought it was too hard for me
3
and put it away but I snuck into their room when they were asleep and took it.
4
I stayed up all night piecing it together.
5
And when they saw it the next morning, They were totally amazed.
6
"Laura, you're a genius !" We're gonna send you to the best schools, the best classes!
7
You're going to be the best child in the world.
8
In an instant, my life changed.
9
My parents shifted us to a new city, got me into a fancy new school, and signed me up for six hours of tutoring daily.
10
But the problem was that I had ADHD as a kid
11
and it was really tough for me to focus the way my mom wanted me to.
12
Once, Mom even tried to give me pills to control my behavior.
13
"You should take these, Laura.
14
They will help you focus on your studies." "Okay, Mom." When she left, I threw the pills in the trash.
15
What if she wanted to poison me?
16
My mom made me hate studying, so I had no choice but to start sneaking out when my parents weren't looking.
17
My little escapades were awesome.
18
I got to play soccer with the other kids, and eat all the junk food I liked.
19
It was all going so well, until one day in the second grade, When I snuck out to go to a soccer match, two big girls approached me on the street.
20
Hey you!
21
Give me your bag.
22
No way!
23
One of the girls grabbed me while the other tried to pull my bag off my shoulder.
24
Suddenly our neighbor spotted us.
25
Hey!
26
What are you doing?
27
The girls ran off in a hurry, and the neighbor took my hand.
28
I'm taking you home to your parents, Missy.
29
Oh no!
30
Not my parents!
31
When mom saw me, her face turned red with anger.
32
"'What are you doing out, Laura?' Once she learned about the incident, she totally lost it.
33
She took away all my toys and grounded me until further notice.
34
Until you can learn to be a grown -up, you're not going anywhere!
35
Uh, I already don't go anywhere.
36
Mom was about to slap me when Dad came between us and stopped her.
37
Such a rude kid!
38
The next morning, Mom woke me up at 4 a .m., You're going to learn self -defense with your dad every morning and night.
39
But mom, it's not even morning yet.
40
You start now!
41
I had no choice.
42
He began to teach me kickboxing every morning and jujutsu every night.
43
One day, I was heading to an advanced math exam.
44
My mom had been grilling me about this paper for a year.
45
She wanted me to rank number one.
46
I was on my way to the exam room when I suddenly spotted an adorable boy with glasses
47
cornered by some bigger kids, who were pushing him around.
48
I knew I had to go in for my paper, But I couldn't ignore this.
49
I ran in between them.
50
Hey!
51
Stop it!
52
Uh, is this little girl here to save Devon?
53
This little girl will kick your big butt!
54
I kicked one of the boys on his knee and he fell.
55
When his friend ran to get me, I dodged him easily and pushed him away.
56
The boy was totally stunned.
57
You're awesome!
58
Suddenly, my teacher came out of the exam room.
59
Miss, this girl just attacked us.
60
She's crazy.
61
Before I knew it, I was being dragged to the principal's office.
62
I already knew what would happen now.
63
He called my parents.
64
Mom came in like a raging bull.
65
You missed the exam?
66
You beat someone up?
67
Mom, they were bullying someone! So what?
68
Are you Mother Teresa?
69
Or Wonder Woman?
70
Mind your own business!
71
How dare you ditch your exams like this!
72
Dad, I did the right thing!
73
You know that!
74
Say something!
75
I knew Dad agreed with me but he was just too weak to say anything in front of mom.
76
who is acting like freaking Godzilla.
77
She signed me up for a replacement exam in 3 months and told me to get to work.
78
The next day, the boy helped Devin, came up to me and thanked me for saving him from the bullies.
79
He thought I was amazing and asked me out on a date.
80
My first day ever!
81
And he was just so cute.
82
Of course I said yes.
83
Devon and I began dating and I did everything I could to keep it secret from my parents.
84
I got a secret phone with my savings to text him and I sneak out every night to meet him.
85
I started to think that life wasn't so bad after all.
86
Until one day, Noah, the gorgeous soccer player from my school came up to me during lunch.
87
Hey.
88
Go to the Blue Pearl Cafe at 5 :00 PM.
89
Watch what happens.
90
What?
91
Just do it.
92
It's very important.
93
With that, Noah walked away from me.
94
That was so weird.
95
But I decided to go anyway.
96
When I reached the cafe, I saw Devon sitting there arm in arm with another girl.
97
What?
98
Devon kissed that girl right on the lips before she left.
99
Oh my god!
100
Devon!
101
You cheater!
102
The whole cafe turned to look at us, but I didn't care.
103
Laura, what are you doing here?
104
I'm dumping you!
105
I walked forward, grabbed his plate, and dunked all his food over his head.
106
Just then, another girl walked into the cafe.
107
Devon?
108
What's going on?
109
I'm here for a date.
110
Oh my God!
111
I told the new girl the truth about him
112
and she grabbed some food from another table and chucked it right in Devin's face.
113
Just then the manager showed up and threw us all out of his cafe.
114
I hope you rot in hell, Devon.
115
And with that, I ran back to school.
116
I was going to find Noah.
117
He was practicing soccer with the school team.
118
I pulled him aside and demanded that he tell me how he knew about Devin.
119
I've seen him around with you, so I knew you were dating.
120
But I saw him with other girls too.
121
Why did you tell me? because I kind of have a huge crush on you.
122
You.. what?
123
I'm not sure if you remember.
124
We used to play soccer together before you stopped showing up for practice.
125
I've always liked you.
126
And I didn't like the idea of you dating that slime.
127
Oh my god.
128
Noah had a crush on me?
129
I know it's kind of weird and sudden, but do you want to go out with me sometime?
130
He was so stunning and I wanted to say yes.
131
But I couldn't get Devon out of my head.
132
How could I ever trust a guy again?
133
I had to turn Noah down.
134
Maybe we can just play soccer.
135
Like old times, Yes, we can try that.
136
I started playing and it was the best fun I'd had in years.
137
Everyone loved me and asked me to try out for the official soccer team.
138
I clear the tryouts easily.
139
but I had to make sure my parents never found out about this one day after practice.
140
Noah came to me with a whole bunch of roses and a couple of friends playing guitars.
141
He asked me out on a date, again.
142
Oh my god, you're dating Noah?
143
I turned around to see Devon behind me and he looked really mad.
144
It's none of your business what I do with my life.
145
Tell me the truth, Laura.
146
No one told you about my dates, didn't he?
147
So what if he did?
148
I always knew he liked you.
149
He was always staring at you.
150
"Go away, Devon !" Yeah before we make you.
151
The entire soccer team steered him down, and he had no choice but to back off and walk away.
152
I turned to Noah and said, I'm sorry, Noah.
153
I really like you, but...
154
I just can't trust someone so soon.
155
That's okay, Laura.
156
I get it.
157
Come on, let's prep for the semi -finals.
158
The semi -finals of our tournament went by like a breeze.
159
We had trained hard and our skill and teamwork were totally unmatched.
160
When I scored that winning goal, I literally lost my mind.
161
The thrill and joy was too much.
162
I wrapped my arms around Noah and gave him a kiss right on his lips.
163
The entire stadium began to hoot at us, but I didn't care one bit.
164
Everything was perfect until I heard it.
165
Laura!
166
I jumped away from Noah and literally screamed in shock.
167
Mom!
168
Dad!
169
What are you doing here?
170
Devon called and he told us everything.
171
You've been sneaking away every day to play this stupid game?
172
My mom began to fight with me in front of hundreds of people.
173
I had never been more humiliated in my life.
174
You're grounded forever!
175
Mom, the finals are tomorrow!
176
Come on, honey.
177
We can't make her miss that.
178
Why not?
179
She should be punished!
180
She is a bad daughter!
181
To my surprise, Dad finally put his foot down.
182
He told my mom that I was an amazing daughter and that he'd had it with her bullying.
183
My mom went purple with rage.
184
Laura is playing tomorrow and there's nothing you can do about it.
185
I love you, Dad.
186
I hugged dad.
187
He'd finally accepted me!
188
My mom refused to say one word to me from that day on.
189
I won the soccer finals 6 -0 and without our knowledge, A scout had come to watch the match.
190
They picked me up and I got a full sports scholarship for my undergrad degree.
191
None of my other teammates got that offer, including Noah.
192
He got into a good college too.
193
but it was thousands of miles away from me.
194
You have to take this opportunity, Laura.
195
You're going to be great.
196
I loved him so much that I really tried to make it work long distance.
197
but it just became too painful for us to keep missing each other.
198
We had to end things.
199
even though we still love each other and we're on excellent terms.
200
My soccer career was thriving and I was playing at the state level, topping every chart in the women's league during a final match with Penn State.
201
I fell and twisted my ankles so hard that I blacked out instantly.
202
When I woke up, I was rushed to the hospital where the doctor told me in clear terms.
203
You can walk and run if needed, but you can't play soccer ever again.
204
My heart was broken.
205
and it felt like my life was shattered.
206
I went back home and my dad consoled me and supported me.
207
My mom made a few snide comments about how she was right.
208
But Dad chased her away.
209
I believe in you, Laura.
210
We'll get through this together.
211
I eventually started teaching self -defense and soccer classes for little kids in my city.
212
It was good pay, and I really enjoyed working with children.
213
One day, I got a text from Noah and I flint!
214
I didn't realize we were in the same town now.
215
He asked to meet me for dinner and I was shaking.
216
My jaw fell when I saw Noah.
217
He was drop -dead gorgeous just as the day I met him.
218
He wasn't here alone.
219
Some of our friends from the soccer team were here with their old guitars.
220
Noah had a hundred roses, and he gave them to me before he asked me to be with him again.
221
And this time, I said yes and jumped into his arms.
222
He lifted me up in the air as I kissed him passionately.
223
Noah and I started our lives together and eventually got married three years later.
224
My dad attended, and my mom didn't which was totally fine by me.
225
A year after our marriage, I became pregnant with our first baby.
226
The pregnancy itself was a breeze but the delivery was tricky.
227
There was a complication and I had to go into surgery, which really scared us all.
228
Thankfully, both my daughter Claire and I made it when I'd recovered.
229
The doctor said.
230
I'm sorry, Laura.
231
Getting pregnant again could be really dangerous for you.
232
That complication would happen again.
233
At first, I was heartbroken because I'd always wanted a big family.
234
But once the grief passed, I said to Noah, I'm grateful I have Claire and I still want her to have siblings.
235
We adopted three children after I had Claire.
236
Claire absolutely fell in love with her siblings.
237
and Noah and I got to give our four children a wonderful, loving home.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
