I was poor when I was young. (But) when I was 16, I could beat anyone on the football field. My high school coach (教练) was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me but also taught me how to believe in (myself). One particular experience with Coach Jarvis (changed) my life forever.
It was during the summer vacation, and there was a chance to get a summer job and (make) some money that I wanted very much. Then I realized I would have to (give up) summer football camp to earn the money. When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as (angry) as I expected him to be. "You have your whole life to (work)," he said. "But your playing days are limited (有限的) . You can't afford to (waste) them." I stood before him with my head hanging. "(How much) are you going to make from this job?" he asked. "$3.25 an hour," I replied. "Well," he asked, "is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?" That question made me think about the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I spent the whole summer training on the football field, and within the year I was (chosen) by one of the best teams in the state.
I finally achieved my goal in life (because) I followed my dream. The point is that no matter (who) you are and no matter where you are, you should (always) have a dream. And this dream will show you your direction like a beacon (灯塔) to a ship at sea at night .
