I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场).He has let me use his 36 to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he told me his story.when he was young, his family is too 37 to have a house to live in.As a 38 , when he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 39 he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of 40 a horse ranch.He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm.The next day he handed it in to his 41 .Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red F.Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” He teacher said, “This is a(an) 42 dream for a young boy like you.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your 43 .”
The boy went home and thought about it for a 44 and hard time.He asked his father what he should do.His father said, “Look, son, you have to 45 your own mind on this.Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 46 at all.He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I 47 keep my dream.
Monty tell me this 48 because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.He said a lot of kids’s 49 can be stole.Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what. 50 he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.

Every day I can watch a little girl basketball from my kitchen window. One day I asked her why she practised so . She said: “I would like to go to college. The only way is a scholarship(奖学金). I like basketball and I want to be the player in college. My dad told me: ‘If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.’ ” She changed her mind. I watched her through those junior high years and into senior high school.
One day before she graduated high school, I saw her sitting on the grass . I asked her what was wrong. She told me her coach said she was such a girl that she couldn’t be a good basketball player, so she should dreaming about going to college. She was heartbroken and it made me feel sad. Then she smiled and told me her father said that coach was wrong. He did not understand the power of dream. Her father said to her: “If you really want to the scholarship of a good college, nothing but you can stop your dream.”
The next year, she and her team went to a big game. She by a coach of a famous college team and was offered a scholarship to the basketball team of their college. She was about to get the college education that she had dreamed and worked towards for all those years.
“If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” It is true.
