Across the street from our home was a school and I would often watch the kids as they played basketball during the break. I often noticed a small    1    playing with boys. I watched in

   2    as she ran circles around the other kids. She    3    to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. At other times I saw her playing alone, sometimes until    4    .

       One day I asked her why she   5    so much. She looked    6    in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation（犹豫）she said “The only way I can go to   7     is to get a scholarship（奖学金）. I believe that I would get it if I were good enough at   8    . My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t   9   .” Then with a determined smile she ran towards the court. I watched her   10    those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her team to victory.

       One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head   11    in her arms. The coach（教练）told her that at 5 feet 5 inches she would   12    never get to play for a top ranked team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should   13    dreaming about college. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She   14    her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches just did not understand the  15    of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship,   16    could stop her except one thing—her own attitude.

       The next year,   17    she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college coach. She was indeed   18    a scholarship, a full one. She was going to get the college education that she had    19    and worked toward for all those years. It’s   20   : If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count
