At the age of 13，I visited a doctor with my parents. As I sat in the examining chair，the doctor looked into my 　31　.“She did inherit (继承) it，”he said with coldness.“You need to be prepared. There is no 　32　 for this disease.”

My father 　33　 a gene which，in most cases，results in blindness. I’d inherited the gene. He gradually 　34　 his eyesight and so did I. At last we were both 　35　 blind—he was fifty-seven years old，　36　 I was only twenty-eight.

My world 　37　 as the darkness fell，　38　 the dreams my husband and I had for us and for our three little boys. But 　39　 I tried to find some hope and 　40　，my eyes were opened to a new realization.

My father had 　41　 me not just failing eyesight，but an example of 　42　 in the face of hardships as well. We were all living in Bolivia in 1964 when he decided to 　43　 the family to America. He worked tirelessly to 　44 the right of living in the US.

Alone in the States，he 　45　 his helplessness and lack of fluency in English. He managed to rent a small apartment，and nine months later，sent airline tickets for my mom，my brother and me.

Decades later，　46 an American citizen，I look back at what he'd shown me. He set an example proving that determination is important to success. His 　47　 taught me valuable lessons for my own path in the darkness.

I did the same as I stepped into a 　48　 world. I fulfilled (完成) my own 　49　 as a wife，mom，Sunday school teacher and Spanish interpreter. What I inherited from my father helped me to 50　 my life in a whole new light.

A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium.

At 5:30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room（更衣室. My    _36  of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were   37   with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.

Approaching my locker（衣物柜）, I noticed my teammates   38  . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling _ 39   it were a film of the opposing team’s play. Some seemed a bit more   40  , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field,  _41   what would happen in 120 minutes.

Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how   42    this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams — my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (冲动) it needed to   43  .

At 7:10 pm, warm – ups finished, we went over the game   44   and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (国歌)   45   that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final   46  . But tonight was different. On this clear night he   47   looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even   48   the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already   49    our way out of the door.

Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a   50   of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and   51   my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.

Seconds later, the team ran onto the   52  , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy   53   from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the   54   of one of the biggest games of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and   55   that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.
