Question

　 The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during the break ．She seemed so small as she pushed her way 36 the crowd of boys on the playground .She 37 from them all．
　　I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing 38．She would practice dribbling（運(yùn)球） and shooting over and over again, sometimes until 39 ． One day I asked her 40 she practiced so much． She looked 41 in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said, "I want to go to college． The only way I can 42 is that if I get a scholarship, I am going to play college basketball． I want to be 43 ． My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count．"
　　Well, I had to give it in to her--- she was 44 ．One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head 45 in her arms． I walked toward her and quietly asked what was 46 ． "Oh, nothing," came a soft reply． "I'm just too short．" The coach told her that at her height she would probably 47 get to play for a top ranked team, 48 offered a scholarship． So she 49 stop dreaming about college．

　 The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter（招聘人員）． She was indeed offered a 54 ．She was going to get the college education that she had 55 and worked toward for all those years．
