Lola doesn’t want to be differently from the other girls on her team. At competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her attitude.
Lola never thinks about . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids she grows up.
Lola is of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics too. Her for others is “just believe in yourself”.

I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she _________ some of her insight with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in _________ the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the _________ of her desk and sat down there.
With a gentle look on her face, she paused and said,"Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought __________ I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves...and ______ of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is a(an) _________that we must make the most out of every single day."
Her eyes beginning to__________, she went on,"So I would like you all to make me a _________...from now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn't have to be something you see---it________ be a scent(香味)--perhaps of__________ baked bread wafting out of someone's house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the __________ the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. Please, look for these things, and remember them.
"For, _________ it may sound silly to some people, these things are the 'stuff' of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for ________. We must make _______important to notice them, for at any time...it can all be taken away."
The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room _________ .That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what a deep _________ she made on all us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all __________.
Take notice of something _________you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot. Or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double dip ice cream cone. _______ as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often _______, but the things we didn't do.
