Once I spoke at a high school. After the speech, the principal asked me to see a special student. An ______ had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.

He was Matthew. ______ he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to______. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal weight lifter.

I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. He spoke about ______ and succeeding and seeking (追尋）his dreams.

When we finished talking, I went to my bag and pulled out the first gold ______ I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about ______ and overcoming obstacles (克服障礙) than I ever would. He looked at it for a while, then took it off and handed it ______ to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”

Last summer I got the news that Matthew had ______ and a letter Matthew had written to me a few days before:

Dear Rick,

My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter. The doctors are ______ to tell me that I don't have long to live any more. But I still smile as much as I can.

I told you that in the future I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I'll ______ . I know I'm a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you.

Thank you for loving me.

Your friend
