A Leap( 跳跃 ) to Honor

Leaping on a narrow balance beam( 平衡木 ) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.

To perfect her skills, Lola 1 for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she

finished seventh out of 16 girls.

That ’s especially impressive,2she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift( 移

动 ) constantly. She often sees double and can’t 3how far away things are.

When she was little, her mom4that even though she couldn’t see 5, she was fearless. So her mom

signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the6right away and gymnastics became her favorite.

Though learning gymnastics has been more7 for her than for some of her teammates, she has never quit. She doesn ’t let her8stop her from doing anything that she wants to.

She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest9 is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to10your mind that it ’takell you where you want to go, ”says Lola.

To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most11 for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn ’t fall12the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10 —her highest score yet.

Lola doesn ’t want to be13differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don ’t know about her vision14. She doesn ’t tell them, because she doesn ’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her15attitude.

Lola never thinks about16. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her17

is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she ’s learned to other kids18

she grew up.

Lola is19of all her hard work and success. She says it ’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her20for others is “just believe yourself ”.

memories. He struggled to38for his growing family.

On our occasional trips to town,I39out boxfuls of books from the library. When I opened a book, I could

40myself in unknown places— where children weren’ t hungry and were in41of little.

When I wasn ’ t daydreaming, my42was the life I shared with my brothers and sisters. At night I hid under the

covers43to silence the sounds of life in an alcoholic home. Classmates asked44we didn ’havet electricity or a telephone. I suppose my explanations were45more than lies, but the stories I told improved

46every book I read.

Starting at a very young age, my siblings ( 兄弟姐妹 ) and I sometimes got jobs to earn money — to put more food on the

family table. We47newspapers, babysat, and cleaned other people’ s houses.

Mom grew vegetables, raised chickens, and baked bread, so we seldom went hungry, even when supper was only a pot of

beans.48

my real hunger wasn’ t for foodit was a—hunger for a better life. It was a hunger for knowledge about the world

49our simple existence. It was a hunger to prove Dad50when he told us we would never amount to anything.

Hunger motivated my brothers and sisters to achieve much51than our parents expected52us. We devoured (如饥似渴地吸取 )the offerings of the public schools because we realized that53would be our steppingstone into a brighter future.

Now I ’ m 54of the accomplishments of my siblings: an art professor; a well-known doctor; plus business owners. And me, I ’ m the keeper of the family stores. I’ ll never know if we would have so many accumulated succe we had not known55as children. But this I do know: I believe it can be a good thing.
