When I was 13, my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant beating out Miller King, who was the best ______ at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I ______ out. I carried my football everywhere for practice.

Just before September, Miller was hit by a car and lost his right arm. I went to see him after he came back from hospital. He looked very ____, but he didn’t cry.

That season, I ______ all of Miller’s records while he watched the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, but I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for (为......负责) Miller’s _____.

One afternoon, I was crossing the fieldand saw Miller stuck (卡在) going over a fence — which wasn’t hard to climb with both arms.

When we were finally safe on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did ____. Thank you for filling in for me.”

His words freed me from my bad dreams. I thought to myself, how even without an arm he wasmore of a leader. Harmed but not__, he was still ahead of me. I was right to have admiredhim. From that day on, I grew bigger and a little more real.
