My sister had dropped out of school and made very unwise decisions with her life. She chose ___1 (spend) her time with people who were lost 2 she was. They all chose to ignore their 3 (responsible) and supported one another in a life which involved drinking and partying. 4 (sad), they were all losing time. They were young and had the potential to become 5 they wanted if they would only choose to respect themselves and believe in a better life.
My sister was lost but my father never gave up on her. She may not have even known it but his prayers and faith 6 her may have been the very thing she needed. I remember sitting at the family dinner table 7 everyone had gathered except my sister. Once again she had chosen to drink with friends instead of spending an evening with our family who loved___8 very much. We said she would not come. But my father said she would. We all rallied against him, __9___ (bet) she would not show up and asked why he would say that. We were convinced he was in denial. He simply__10___, “I will always bet on her, on all of you.”
