| I grew up poor-living in the housing projects (住房) with six brothers, three sisters, a varying assortment (各式各样东西的混合) of foster kids (养子), my father, and a wonderful mother, Scarlette Hunley. We had little money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 1 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still 2 a dream. My dream was 3 . By the time I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, and hit anything that moved on the baseball field. I was also 4 : My high school Coach Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me how to believe in myself. He 5 me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念).

"How much are you going to make at this job, son?" He demanded. "3.5 dollars an hour." I replied. "Well," he asked, "Is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?" That question, the plainness of it, laid here for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I delicated myself to sports that summer and with the year I was hired by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was 12 a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1998 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dreams. | ||||
