My father was a self-taught mandolin player. He was one of the best string players in our town. He could not music, but if he heard a tune a few times, he could play it.
Dad loved to play the mandolin for his for he knew we enjoyed singing, and hearing him play. He was always there, his time and efforts to making sure that his family had enough in their life. I had grown into a man and had children of my own I realized how much he had sacrificed.
I joined the United States Air in January of 1962. Whenever I would come home , I would ask Dad to play the mandolin. He could your soul with the tones that came out of that old mandolin. He seemed to shine when he was playing. You could see his in his ability to play so well for his family.
In 1950, our family moved to Maryland. While working at Todd Steel, he was in an accident. On that particular day, Dad got the third index finger of his left hand by the machine. Although he didn’t lose enough of the finger it would stop him picking up anything, it did his ability to play the mandolin. After the accident, every time we asked him to play, he would make for why he couldn’t play. Eventually, we could persuade him and he would say, “Okay. But I can’t hold down on the strings and play as well as before.” For the family it didn’t make any .
In August of 1993, my father was discovered with lung cancer. He chose not to receive treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life dignity. About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said “okay”. He knew it would probably be the time he would play for us. He tuned up the old mandolin and played a few . When I looked around, there was not a eye in the family. We saw before us a quiet man with an inner strength. Dad would never play the mandolin for us again. Dad was doing something he had done all his life, . As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad surely could play that Mandolin!

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17 became healthy.
Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head-to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and finally 19it. The team practice, 20was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 21her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23to go! I told her she shouldn't swim after a whole night's coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn't 25 a single practice. She had a 26intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn't a 29 ---ever. But that didn't stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn't expect any award but was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , "The highest honor goes to Cathy!" Looking around, he continued, "Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart."
It was the greatest 34 of my daughter's life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was the hour of true triumph(成功).
