I grew up poor-living with six brothers, three sisters and my mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I was       and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still       a dream.

My dream was       . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per- hour baseball and       anything that moved on the field. I was also       : my high school coach was John, who not only       me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. He       me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction(信念). One particular incident with coach John changed my life forever.

A friend       me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — money for a new bike, new clothes and the       of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to       up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn’t be playing.

When I told John, he was as       as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,”he said,“Your       days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”I stood before him with my head       , trying to think of the       that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his       in me.

“Well,”he asked,“is $ 3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”

That simple question made       to me the difference between       something right now and having a goal. I       myself in sports that summer and       the year I was drafted(选拔) by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and       a $ 20,000 contract. Later, I bought my mother the house of my dream!
