David was a small boy in old clothes. I had often what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so improperly for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves, But something made David .I can still remember he was always a smile and willing to help, He always stayed after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor.

When we finished talking, I went to my and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about and overcoming obstacles（克服障碍）than I ever would. He looked at it for a while, then took it off and handed it to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I got the news that Matthew had and a letter Matthew had written to me a few days before:
