It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s son. Everybody expects you to be perfect, but I’m just a fourteen-year-old kid, and I’m not a special ________, too, when it comes to math, geography, music, and baseball.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of ________ or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school. “I ________ we have a winner right here in my class.”

After school I walked home, thinking about the essay I would write. My father is an astronaut, I would start out. No, I decided. I wouldn’t do that. The whole country and maybe even the whole world saw my father as an astronaut, but that wasn’t ________ I saw him.

How did I see my father? Hmm.

I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I ________ how he hugged me for hours when my dog Spotty was ________ by a car. Yes, to me, he wasn’t just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.

My parents and I went to school Thursday night. There were so many people in the big hall! The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved and disappointed. The second prize was announced. It was me ________.

I went up to the stage and read what I had written, “My father’s son”. When I finished, the people ________ and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the ________ moment of my life.”

It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but it was ________ just to be my father’s son.
