I always felt nervous at the running race. I was too thin to be an athlete. So when our class needed a 16 in the two mile race around the lake, I hoped 17 would notice me.
I hid under a 18 when our teacher Bronto called the names of the runners. I got more nervous when I heard he called, “Noah! Where’s Noah? He’s in this race!”
He saw me under the tree and shouted, “Noah, we 19 a boy to run the two mile race.” He pushed me to the starting line. I pleaded with him. “I don’t know the way around the lake !”
“It’s not a problem. Just 20 Craig and you’ll know the way.” Bronto smiled. Craig was the fastest runner in our class. Then Bronto said, “For the last hundred meters, 21 throw your head back and run.”
I stood next to Craig and trembled. Then I heard the gun and sixteen of us started to run. I ran 22 behind Craig.
But gradually, the distance between Craig and me became wider.
It was 23 . I felt very tired. My energy was spent. I was about to 24 . But then I looked ahead and saw only three boys were in front of me. The 25 was shouting, but I could hear Bronto shouting,”Run!”
I threw my head back and told my legs to go. I never looked ahead and I never looked back for those last hundred meters. I felt 26 . Nobody was telling me what I was, or what I wasn’t. My legs were running a race against my brain and I was winning!
I didn’t know when I crossed the finish line. Bronto caught me and shouted, “You flew! You flew, man! 27 ! You passed two boys!”
However, the best prize that I got was 28 . That year I discovered I could do a lot of things 29 I believe myself and put my energy into them.
I never got to say goodbye to Bronto right after the race. But later, I saw him over the lake. He was coaching another kid. I had no 30 that the kid was also going to win.
