　　I Believe I Can Fly

　　I Believe I Can Fly is a nice song which tells us that　[范文借鑒]

　　I Believe I Can Fly

　　I Believe I Can Fly is a nice song which tells us that confidence is very important. Whenever we have confidence, we believe in ourselves. Dreams and confidence are what keep us going on in face of difficulties.

　　Three years ago when I became a senior student, I was not used to the high-speed life so that I began to lose my confidence. As a result I did quite badly in exams. However, my teachers and friends kept cheering me up and I was greatly convinced that if I just spread my wings, I could still fly. So today I am sitting here, believing I will surely achieve my dream only if I try.

　　Never give up whenever we meet with any difficulties. Remember confidence is the key to achieving success.
