At one point along an open highway, I 5 a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now,
but as I 6 the light, it turned red and I braked to a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. No cars,
no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to 7 , the only human being for at least a mile

When she was four, she wanted to learn to tie her shoes just as her best friend had done. I didn"t know what to do. If I couldn"t tie a shoe single-handedly, how was I going to teach her? However, after three and a half years of practice, Kelsey finally did it! When she was six, she wanted to take ballet lessons. I"m embarrassed to admit how much this frightened me. I wasn"t just afraid for her body, but for her feelings. I worried about the teasing she might get from the rest of the dance class. But I didn"t know how to tell Kelsey all of this, and she wouldn"t let up, so I enrolled her in a ballet school. Kelsey danced with abandon, completely unaffected by what she couldn"t do. The joy of dancing was enough. Every person who saw Kelsey dance came away with something special. She danced for four years. When she quit, it was only to announce that she wanted to take horseback riding lessons instead. In fifth grade, Kelsey excitedly brought home a registration from for school basketball. Now this was going to be a major challenge for her. She could run only slowly, she"s short, and she still had the use of only one hand.

But every child who plays sports takes risks, I reasoned with him. After a few discussions and a little more encouragement, he decided to let her play. For two years, Kelsey played harder than any girl in the league. And while she never made a basket during a game, she brought other gifts that were more valuable to her teammates. In two years, I never once saw a player treat her as anything other than treasures. | ||||||||||||||
