I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother.We had   26  money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention.I was   27   and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could   28   afford a dream.

My dream was to be a   29 .When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball.I was also   30  : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who   31  me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief.One particular   32  with him changed my life forever.

It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 33 .This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the   34  of savings for a house for my mother.The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to   35   at it.

Then I realized I would have to   36   summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing.I was   37   about this.

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as  38  as I expected him to be.“You have your whole life to work,” he said.“Your   39  days are limited.You can’t afford to waste them.”

I stood before him with my head   40  , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth  41   his disappointment in me.
