She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing, her own attitude. He told her again, "if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count."
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter. She was indeed offered a scholarship, to a Division I, NCAA women's basketball team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.
It's true. If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.她很伤心，由于感受到了她的失望，我也觉得自己的喉咙发紧。我问她是否与她的爸爸谈过这件事。她从臂弯里抬起头，告诉我，她父亲说那些教练讲得不对。他们根本不懂得梦想的力量。她父亲说，如果她真地有心去代表一个好的大学打篮球，如果她真的想获得奖学金，任何东西也不能阻止她，除非她自己没有这个心。他又一次跟她说：“如果梦想远大，就一定可以克服艰难险阻。”
第二年，当她和她的球队去参加北加利福尼亚州冠军赛时，她被一位大学的招生人员看中了。那所大学真地为她提供了一份全面资助的奖学金，并且她进入了美国全国大学体育协会其中一个女子甲组篮球队。她将接受到她梦想过的并为之奋斗了多年的大学教育。
这句话说得真好：如果梦想远大，就一定可以克服艰难险阻。
