I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream.
My dream was to be a 39 . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it.

I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum 36 me up that morning, her voice wasn’t as 37 as it usually was.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was 38 to leave its warmth and comfort, and didn’t want to face the problem that I’d let myself 39 for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of 40 .
I finished getting ready and tried to 41 . It didn’t work, so I decided that my 42 should go with me. We had a little time, so I thought we could practice parking. I 43 , with the wheel hitting the fence. After that, the little bit of confidence I’d had was 44 . I tried two more times, but didn’t 45 much. Then we headed to the test site.
I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just 46 time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my 47 . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some 48 and I realized something: something between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside. I had become 49 and confident.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite 50 . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I 51 it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second 52 next Thursday.
Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her 53 made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54 , looked kind of teary. I knew she was 55 for me.
