I lived in a poor family with my wonderful mother. She often told me that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
My dream was athletics. When I was sixteen, I started playing baseball. I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and_______anything that moved on the field.I was also________: my high school coach was John, who believed in me and taught me how to believe in myself. He taught me the difference ________having a dream and remaining true to that dream. One unusual________with Coach John changed my life forever.
A friend helped me to find a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket for a new bike, new clothes and the________of saving for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to_______up summer baseball and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn't be playing.
When I told John, he was_______as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to work," he said. "You don't have too many playing days in your life. You can't afford to waste them." I stood before him with my head________, trying to think of the________that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.
"How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he asked. "3.5 dollars an hour," I replied.
"Well," he asked, "Is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?"
That simple question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I decided myself to play sports that summer and within the year I was taken on by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was_______ a $ 20 000 agreement. Two years later, I bought my mother the house of my dream!
