1惟独你不可取代 As a teenager，I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious1 out－side，but I wanted to be liked inside. Once I left home to hitch-hike2 to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasnt easy，and there were many times I didnt feel safe. One situation in particular kept me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home，I was different，not so outwardly sure of myself. 　　 I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope，who was staying with us，was wearing my clothes. And my family seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be missed if I werent there. I told my mom，and she explained that though Penelope was a lovely girl，no one could replace me. I pointed out，Ｓhe is more patient and is neater than I have ever been. My mom said these were wonderful qualities，but I was the only person who could fill my role. She made me realize that even with my faults-and there were many－I was a loved member of the family who couldnt be replaced. I became a searcher，wanting to find out who I was and what made me unique. My view of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist3 pressure to act in ways that I didnt like any more，and I was delighted by who I really was. I came to feel much more sure that no one can ever take my place. 　　 Each of us holds a unique place in the world. You are special，no matter what others say or what you may think. So forget about being replaced. You cant be. 10几岁的少年的时候，，，， 　　 有一次我离开了家和我的朋友佩内洛普搭便车去了加利福尼亚。这次旅行并不轻松，而且有很多次我感觉不安。有一次的突发状况让我一直庆幸自己还活着。回到家，我发觉自己变了，看上去不那么自信了。 　　 我很高兴能回到家，但不久我注意到和我们一起的佩内洛普穿着我的衣服，而且我父母看上去更喜欢她，我想知道如果我不在家的话他们是否会想念我。后来，我把我的想法告诉了母亲，她说尽管佩内洛普是个可爱的女孩，但她始终不能取代我，我说：她比我有耐心而且无论何时看上去她都比我要整洁大方。母亲说这些都是非常好的优点，但我却是惟一个能扮演好自己角色的人。母亲让我感到尽管我有缺点似乎还很多但是，我被家中每一个人爱着，谁也无法取代。 　　 我成了一个探寻者，想要知道自己到底是谁，又是什么让我变得独一无二。我的人生观开始改变。我需要一个坚固的基础来发展，我忍受住压力，不再做自己不喜欢做的事。而且我为真实的我感到高兴。渐渐地我越发肯定自己无可替代。 　　 每个人在这个世界上都占有一个独一无二的位置。无论别人说什么，你自己怎么想，你都是特别的。所以，不要担心自己会被取代，因为你永远是惟一的。 　　　　 2就在正上方 太多的
