It was the district sports meet. My foot still hadn’t healed(痊愈) from a (n)  36   injury. I had  37   whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was  38   for the 3,000-meter run.

“Ready…set…” The gun popped and we were off. The other girls rushed  39   me. I felt 40   as I fell farther and farther behind.

“Hooray!” shouted the crowd. It was the loudest  41   I had ever heard at a meet. The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finished line. “Maybe I should  42  ,” I thought as I moved on.  43  . I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran  44   and decided not to  45   in track next year. It wouldn’t be worth it,  46   my foot did heal.

When I finished, I heard a cheer-  47   than the one I’d heard earlier. I turned around and 48  , the boys were preparing for their race. “They must be cheering for the boys.”

I was leaving  49   several girls came up to me. “Wow, you’ve got courage!” one of them told me.

“Courage? I just  50   a race!” I thought. “I would have given up on the first lap,” said another girl. “We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?”

Suddenly I regained  51  . I decided to  52   track next year. I realized strength and courage aren’t always  53   in medals and victories, but in the  54   we overcome. The strongest people are not always the people who win,  55   the people who don’t give up when they lose.
