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 21 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,        she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift（移动） constantly. She often sees double and can’t      how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom        that even though she couldn’t see        , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the        right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more      for her than for some of her teammates, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her        stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest      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 to        your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most        for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fal      the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10—her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be        differently from the other girls on her team. At competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision        . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her        attitude.
Lola never thinks about        . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her        is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids        she grows up.
Lola is        of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics too. Her      for others is “just believe in yourself”.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m.   16   my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel.   17 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason,   18 , I went ahead and answered.
The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I   19 , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not   20   why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only   21   listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the   22   at the Best Western Hotel. The   23   was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t   24   any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n)   25   guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was   26   because my grandfather seemed to be   27 . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and   28   100 miles from home.
Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to   29   him to the police station, Mason,   30   any normal duty, not only took the time to   31   me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could   32   safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all   33   him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of   34   that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who   35 .
