A Leap(跳跃)to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola   36    for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive,          37     she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t _38    how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom   39   that even though she couldn’t see         40    , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the    41     right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more    42    for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her _43  stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest          44_ is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to          45_ your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most   46   for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall      47   the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be          48     differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision _49 _. She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her _50           attitude.
Lola never thinks about   51__. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her   52          is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids    53   she grew up.
Lola is   54   of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her   55         for others is “just believe yourself”.
