Maybe it was the distance to the college where the event was to take place, or the early hour that 37 had to report for duty. Whatever the reasons that made me hesitate, I am thankful to this day that I 38 up volunteering. If I had missed the event, I would have missed one of the most unforgettable moments that I have ever 39 .
I arrived at the volunteer tent bright and early. My task was 40 . I was to stand at the finish line only and wait until the event was over and then take the 41 to the announcing booth(公告处). Standing at the finish line, I was able to witness many amazing efforts and close races. I was most impressed by the effort each athlete put into his or her 42 . What also impressed me was the sincere 43 each athlete expressed while participating though sometimes the joy of participating in a sporting event can get 44 in the fierce competition of winning and losing.
Then an amazing moment happened right before my eyes. A group of athletes were 45
up to run a short race. One of them was in a wheelchair, a little girl with a 46 smile, wearing bright bows in her hair. Her smile filled the stadium that day. I couldn’t help but smile back at her.
The gun sounded. They were off. Runners sped up in the 47 with all their might. My eyes
48 for the little girl with the bright bows. There she was, pumping her arms with all the
49 she had. Her efforts were getting little result, but that did not stop her. I noticed as she got closer that she also had an injured arm. But that did not stop this bright star.

I grew up a lot that day because of the 54 of that little girl in the wheelchair. I was 55 that day of a poem from a book that states, “Whatever you do, do it with all your might.”
