sitting in the grass

One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms. Quietly I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing," came to a soft reply. "I'm just too short." The coach told her that at 5'5" she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team -- much less offered a scholarship -- so she should stop dreaming about college.
She was heartbroken but She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just didn't understand the power of a dream.高中那会儿的某一天,我看见她坐在草地上,头埋在臂弯里。我轻轻地问出什么事了。
“哦,没什么,”她轻声回答, “只是我太矮了。”原来篮球教练告诉她,以五英尺五英寸的身材,她几乎是没有机会到一流的球队去打球的——更不用说会获得奖学金了——所以她应该放弃想上大学的梦想。她很伤心,但她告诉我,她爸爸说那些教练错了。他们根本不懂得梦想的力量。
