Dear Dad,

I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you  36  not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so  37  with me. This has made me  38  very carefully about myself, and now I  39  how silly I have been.

My poor  40  have come from my own  41 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud  42  me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my   43  on the subject and I stop  44  the teacher. So many other things seem so much more  45 , but I know that I must not  46  the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard  47  the next few months, I am going to get  48  results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything  49  I can’t understand so that she can give me help.

I  50  you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise,   51 _ I will control the time I   52  on it properly.

If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is  53  serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me  54  my schoolwork.

Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to  55  my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.

    Yours,

    Jimmy

After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a spe­cial student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles(阻碍) and going for my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion(冠军). You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed
away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dick,
My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I
will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.
Yours,
Matthew
