The team practice, 45 was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 46 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 47 her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 48 to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to 49 and insisted she go . From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 50 a single practice. She had a 51 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten—year—old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 52 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 53 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 54 ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.
