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.
