8．I climbed the ladder，heard my dive announced，and began the moves that would push me into the air．Pushing off the diving board with my legs，I lifted my arms and shoulders back，and knew immediately I would be close to the board and might hit my hands．I tried to correct myself as I turned，spreading my hands wide apart．Then I heard a strange sound and my body lost control．Moments later I realized I had hit my head on the board．
At the beginning，I felt embarrassed．I wanted to hide，to get out of the pool without anyone seeing me．Next I felt intense fear．Had I cut my head？Was I bleeding？Was there blood in the pool？Swimming to the side，I noticed many shocked faces．People were worried about my head； I was worried about something far more threatening．An official examined my head．In a hurry，I pushed him away，and everyone else who approached me．"Don't touch me!"I felt like screaming．"Get away from me!"
These were the trials （选拔赛） for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul，Korea．Until this dive，I had been ahead．But now，something else was more significant than winning．I might have endangered other divers'lives if I had spilled blood in the pool．For what I knew---that few others knew-was that I was HIV-positive．
According to my mother，my natural parents were Samoan （萨摩亚人） and only teenagers when I was born，so they gave me up for adoption．When I was only eighteen months old，I started gym classes．At ten，I explored doing gym exercises off the diving board at the pool．
Because of my dark skin，kids at school called me names．My diving made me feel good about myself when my peers made me feel stupid．At sixteen，I knew I had a shot at the 1976 Olympics．
Everyone was alarmed when I hit my head on the board in Seoul．Regardless，I made it to the finals．During my last dive in the finals，I enjoyed for the last time the quietness underwater and then swam to the side of the pool．The crowd cheered，and I knew I'd won---two gold medals．AIDS forced me to stop diving； I had to give up diving professionally after the Olympics．

13．When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time，he read"Goodnight Moon"to a class of San Diego preschoolers．And it wasn't reading-he'd memorized the book and was reciting it out loud．He was 4．Still，he said it felt good up there，in front of the other kids，lending a hand．He wanted more of that feeling．
Thirteen years later，he's getting a lot of it．He's on a five-month road trip across America-not sightseeing，but volunteering．
The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah，a women's shelter in St．Louis，a soup kitchen in New York，a retirement home in Tucson．This week he's in Los Angeles，at a program that supports disabled youth．
"I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a difference，"he said．He resists the idea that his"Do Good Adventure"is all that unusual．It bothers him that the media often describe young people as lazy，self-centered and materialistic．So he sees his trip as a chance to make a statement，too．"About 55percent of teens do volunteer work，higher than the rate for adults，"he said，according to a 2002 study．"Not everybody knows that．"
Of course，some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications．Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions．But charity work is a habit with him．Even before the cross?country trip，he was volunteering about 200hours a year at various places．He's made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D．C．He's taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca，Mexico．
He gets some of that drive from his mother，Leslye Lyons，who has been involved in nonprofits for much of her life．She was there when her son"read"to the preschoolers-a memory of hers"that will never go away．"
