It was the dis track meet - the noe we had been training for all season. My foot still hadn't healed from an earlier injury. As a matter of fact, I had debated whether or not I should attend the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3200-meter run.
"Ready...set..." The gun popped and we were off. The other girls darted ahead of me. I realized I was limping and felt humiliated as I fell farhter and farther behind.
The first-place runner was two laps ahead of me then she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" shouted the crowd. It was the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meet.
"Maybe I should quit," I thought as I limped on."those people don't want to wait for me to finish this race." somehow, though, I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran in pain and decided not to compete in track next year. It wouldn't be worth it,even if my foot did heal. I could never beat the girl who had lapped me twice.
When I finished, I heard a cheer - just as enthusiastic as the one I'dheard when the first girl passed the finish line."What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and, sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race."That must be it; they're cheering for the boys."
I went straight to the bathroom where a girl bumped into me."Wow, you've got courage!" she told me.
I thought,"Courage? She must be mistaking me for some one else. I just lost a race!"
"I would never have been able to finish those two miles if I were you. I would have quit on the first lap. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hears us?"
I couldn't believe it. A complete stranger had been cheering for me - not because she wanted me to win, but because she wanted me to keep going and not give up. Suddenly I regained hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my dream.
That day I learned two things:
First, a little kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them.
And,second, strength and courage aren't always measured in medals and bictories. They are measured in the struggles win, but the people who don't give up when they lose.
I dream only that someday - perhaps as a senior - I will be able to win a race with a cheer as big as the one I got when I lost that race as a freshman.
