I grew up poor﹣﹣﹣living in a big family with six brothers，three sisters，my father，and a wonderful mother．We had little money，but plenty of love and attention．I was very happy and energetic．I understood that no matter how poor a person was，he could still afford a dream．

My dream was sports．By the time I was sixteen，I could throw a ninety﹣mile﹣per﹣hour baseball and hit anything that moved on the field．I was also lucky：my high school coach was Ollie Jarvis，who not only believed in me，but also taught me how to believe in myself．One special incident（事件） with him changed my life forever．

It was the summer between my junior and senior years，and I was offered a summer job．This meant a chance for money in my pocket﹣money for dates with girls，money for a new bike，new clothes，and I could begin to save money for a house for my mother．

Then I realized，to do that work，I would have to give up summer baseball training．When I told coach Jarvis，he was as angry as I expected him to be．"You have your whole life to work，"he said，"Your time for playing isn't long．You can't afford to waste it．"

I stood before him with my head banging，trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me．

"How much are you going to make at this job，son？"he asked．

"Three twenty﹣five an hour．"I replied．

"Well，"he asked，"is 3.5 an hour the price of a dream？"That simple question made me understand the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal for the future．I practiced hard that summer，and within the year I was chosen by a famous team to play baseball，and was offered 20，000 a year．

Later，I was given a baseball scholarship to the University of Arizona，which led me to an education．In 1984，I began to play the Denver Bronces for ＄ 1.7 million a year，And Certainly，I bought my mother the house of my dream!
