James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves
．His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9．There, a school teacher asked the youth his name．
“J．C．,”he replied．
She thought he had said“Jesse”, and he had a new name．
Owens ran his first race at age 13．After high school, he went to Ohio State University．He had to work part time so as to pay for his education．As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later．
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs
．His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet．He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event．He did try, and the results are in the record book．
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political．Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners．
“It was all right with me,”he said years later．“I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway．”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either．In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death．
Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him
．He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs．
“Sure, it bothered me,”he said later．“But at least it was an honest living
．I had to eat．”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life．“They have kept me alive over the years,”he once said．“Time has stood still for me．That golden moment dies hard．”

More than I realized．Dad has helped me keep my balance．
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed(使不安)to be seen with my father．He was severely disabled and very 1 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 2 , people would stare．I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted 3 ．If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never 4 that he knew．
It was 5 to coordinate(协调)our steps-his hesitant, mine impatient-and because of that, we didn't 6 much as we went along．But as we started out, he always said．“You set the 7 ．I will try to follow you．”
Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was 8 he got to work．He went to work despite illness and nasty weather．He almost never missed a day, and would 9 it to the office even if others could not．A matter of 10 ．
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or 11 ．What he looked for 12 others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the 13 was good enough for him．
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 14 by which to judge people, even though I 15 don't know exactly what a “good heart” is． 16 I know the times I don't have one myself．
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often．I wonder if he 17 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 18 ．Now that I am older, I'm sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 19 to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter．I think of him when I complain about trifles(琐事), when I am envious of another's good fortune, and when I don't possess a “good heart”．
At such times I put my hand on his arm to 20 my balance, and say, “You set the pace．I will try to follow you．”
I can still remember when I met my best friend．She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to 1 me．I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 2 to look at each other．Soon we lost the 3 and started playing with each other．
In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her．She was 4 family problems and I deserted her to be with the 5 people．None of my new friends liked her as much as I did because they knew she had 6 ．However, every summer we 7 always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas, and talk about all the boys we liked．
It was last year when I noticed the problem．I guess I was 8 devoted in high school to 9 she needed someone there for her．Anyway, she made a new best friend and so did I．Then I didn’t know why, 10 she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed(诊断)with clinical depression．At first, I was very 11 , but we still stayed in 12 ．I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend basically 13 her and people were calling her 14 ．
Yesterday she came to me and said, “I never knew what a best friend was 1 5 you were the only person that would stop me cutting．I 16 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 17 me．”
We both cried．And I guess a kind of 18 from my life so far is never to give up on your friends．Even if they aren’ t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need 19 there．If you desert them, you will only be 20 yourself．
