| My husband is an engineer. Since we met, he has always been the rock in my life .I knew he had his feet 1 planted on the ground, and it seemed that no matter what else went 2 , he would be the constant one. Three years of romance and two years of marriage later, I began to feel 3 of him because he never brought me flowers, he never 4 me, and nothing had changed in our marriage. After 5 , I finally told him I wanted to be 6 . He just sat there, speechless and didn't even know 7 to say to make me stay. Finally, he spoke, "What can I do to change your 8 ?" "I'll stay if you have a good answer 9 this question," I replied coldly. "If I asked for a 10 growing on a cliff, and getting it for me 11 certain death, would you still do so?" His face grew troubled. "Can I give you the answer tomorrow morning?" With that, my heart 12 . He couldn't even give me an answer 13 away. The next morning, I found he was 14 . However, I found a note under a warm glass of milk. My eyes 15 misty (湿润) as I was reading it. "Dear, I'll give you my 16 . After you do typing for a long time, I need my 17 to do it for you. Every time you leave the house, you forget your keys. I need my legs to run 18 and open the door for you.... that's why I cannot pick the flower for you..." With tears 19 from my eyes, I opened the door. And there he was, with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me. Just because someone doesn't love you 20 you want him to, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you heart and soul. | |||

| 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). One particular incident with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever. It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend 6 me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket-cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the 7 of savings for a house for my mother. The prospect of a summer job was attractive and interesting, and l wanted to jump at the opportunity. Then I realized I would have to 8 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn't be playing. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was 9 as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "Your 10 days are limited. You can't afford to waste them." I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 11 to me. "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. | ||||
