This is a story of myself. When I was young, my father had to go from ranch to ranch(牧场，农场)to train horses.(1) Day by day, I liked to be with him all day, so I often couldn’t go to _______. One day, my teacher Mrs Black asked me to write about my _________.
That night, I wrote a very long paper. I wrote that I wanted to have a horse ranch. (2) I even wrote about how many horses I wanted to have and how large my ranch would be. It took me hours to finish it. The next day, I gave the paper to Mrs Black. Two days later, she gave it back to me. She wrote a large red F on the paper.
After class I went to see Mrs Black and asked,“Why did I get an F?”She said,“This is unrealistic (不切实际的) for you. You have no money. There’s no way you could do it. Write it again.”
I went home and thought about it long and hard. I asked my father what I should do. My father said,“Mike, you have to make a decision (决定) on this.Ｉthink it is a very important decision for you.”
At last, I gave the same paper back to Mrs Black and made no changes at all. I said,“You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”
Now I have my own horse ranch. I still have that school paper in my bedroom.
Two years ago, Mrs Black brought 30 kids to visit my ranch.When she left, she said,“Mike, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was a dream stealer. During those years, I stole(偷) a lot of kids’ dreams. Now I should say sorry.”
So you see: Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Keep them, no matter(无论) what happens.
