A school was near my home and I often watched the kids from my window when they played basketball. One day, I saw a little girl playing with boys. played very well and no one could stop her. Sometimes, I saw her play . She often practiced by herself until dark.
One day I asked her she practiced so much. She said, “I want to go to university. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship(奖学金). I like to play basketball. If I play well, I can get a scholarship. My Daddy told me that if the is big enough and work hard for it, I can be successful.” Then she smiled and ran to go practice.
I watched her through junior high and into high school. Every week, she and her school team won(赢)in the basketball matches.
One day, I saw her in the grass. I went over there and sat down beside her. I asked her what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” she answered, “I am just too short.” The coach(教练)told her that she would probably never play for a university team,so she should her dream about university.
She was sad, but she told me that her father said those coaches were not . They did not understand the power(力量) of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good university, and wanted a scholarship, could stop her.
The next year, when she and her went to the Northern California match, a university recruiter(招生官员)noticed her and her a full scholarship. Her dream finally came true.
