Running for a dream
I will never forget that November day. It was hotter than normal. This was the ____ 1 ____ my father and I had waited so long for, because we had been working towards this race for three years. Dozens of familiar faces ____ 2 ____ across my view. They had come for me. I saw worry and ____ 3 ____ on my father's face. Then the race began!
For the first four kilometres, I felt ____ 4 ____. I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with controlled ____ 5 ____ and a strict diet. My friends hadn't seen me for weeks, but they understood the ____ 6 ____ required to make my dream a reality.
Then without warning, my strength began to decrease. Neck and neck with one of my greatest competitors, I could ____ 7 ____ the finishing line. I had begun the final dash to ____ 8 ____ when my knees became weak and my legs gave way. Nothing I could do would make them ____ 9 ____ my weight.
I watched as runners rushed by me, and my legs hurt badly. With all of the ____ 10 ____ left in me, I got down on my hands and knees and crawled (爬), inch by inch, across the finishing line. Voices, both ____ 11 ____ and familiar, cheered me on. They gave me the courage to keep going until the very end.
The doctors were there in seconds, but my eyes searched the crowd for him. There was only one person I wanted to ____ 12 ____ to. I whispered, “I'm so sorry, Dad. I'm so sorry I disappointed you.” He looked at me, saying, “Not really. Sometimes these things just ____ 13 ____. All that matters is that you did your best.”
“But we worked so ____ 14 ____. What about our dream?” He reached over for my hand and said, “Don't you know that you are my dream and it has come true?”
It wasn't long before my running shoes were back on, marking a ____ 15 ____ path for my journey. I learnt that to him, I was the greatest prize he had ever won.
