Well, I had to give it to her. She was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led the varsity team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting on the grass, head cradled in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came a soft reply. "I'm just too short." The coach told her that at "5'5" she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team, much less offered a scholarship, so she should stop dreaming about college.
嘿,我真服了她——她是个有决心的人。我看着她这些年从初中升到高中。每个星期,由她带领的学校篮球队都能够获胜。
在她读高中的某一天,我看见她坐在草地上,头埋在臂弯里。因此,我穿过街道,坐到她旁边的清凉的草地上,轻轻地问她发生了什么事。她轻声回答:“哦,没什么,只是我太矮了。”原来篮球教练告诉她,以她五英尺五英寸的身材,几乎是没有机会到一流的球队去打球的,更不用说会获得奖学金了,所以她应该放弃想上大学的梦想。
