I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch(牧马场). He has let me use his 36 to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he told me his story. when he was young, his family is too 37 to have a house to live in. As a 38 , when he was in high school, he was asked to write a paper about 39 he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of 40 a horse ranch. He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm. The next day he handed it in to his 41 . Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F. Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” He teacher said, “This is a(an) 42 dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your 43 .”
The boy went home and thought about it for a 44 and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to 45 your own mind on this.
