I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场).He has let me use his 36 to raise money for youth at risk programs. The last time I was there he told me his story.when he was young, his family is too 37 to have a house to live in.As a 38 , when he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 39 he wanted to be and do when he grew up.That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of 40 a horse ranch.He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm.The next day he handed it in to his 41 .Two days later he received his paper back.On the front page was a large red F.Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” He teacher said, “This is a(an) 42 dream for a young boy like you.Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your 43 .” The boy went home and thought about it for a 44 and hard time.He asked his father what he should do.His father said, “Look, son, you have to 45 your own mind on this.Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no 46 at all.He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I 47 keep my dream. Monty tell me this 48 because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.He said a lot of kids’s 49 can be stole.Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what. 50 he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.
