For many years I have been a proud dreamer.I could get lost in the clouds for hours，dreaming of（1）DDto far away countries and enjoying different cultures there.My dream（2）BB：a bestselling author，changing people's hearts with my words，or a reporter，serving the people and giving（3）AAto those who have not been heard for centuries.
I spend most of my time on dreaming.What's the problem with spending so much time dancing among sunset- painted cotton candy clouds？Well，the（4）DDis that my bare feet seldom kiss the earth，and by being lost in my dreams often，I become（5）AAfrom my own real life and out of touch with the people I love.

However，as my best friend often（15）DDme，good things don't always bring comfort，even hell can get comfortable if you stay there long enough.
The best thing for us is challenging.It is a lot more meaningful than those cotton candy.
