I used to watch a little girl who1 basketball every day from my kitchen window. One day I asked her why she practised so2 . She said: "I would like to go to college. The only way is3 a scholarship（奖学金）. I like basketball and I want to be the4 player in college. My dad told me: ‘If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.' She5 changed her mind. I watched her through those junior high years and into senior high school. One day before she graduated6 high school, I saw her sitting on the grass7 . I asked her what was wrong. She told me her coach said she was8 a short girl that she couldn't be a good basketball player, so she should9 dreaming about going to college. She was heartbroken and it10 made me feel sad. Then she smiled and told me her father said that coach was wrong. He did not understand the power of dream. Her father said to her: "If you really want to11 the scholarship of a good college, nothing but you12 can stop your dream." The next year, she and her team went to a big game. She13 by a coach of a famous college team and was offered a scholarship to the14 basketball team of their college. She was about to get the college education15 she had dreamed of and worked towards for all those years. "If the dream is big enough, the facts don't count." It is true.
