【正文】 o Olympic gold was different than that of most. In fact, even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many rejected him as a true Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background, and he boasted too much. Moreover, he only became involved in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age was no lifelong mitment to the sport. He did not exemplify the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event. Still, few failed to appreciate his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was perfect for the course. And so even before the race began, he was claiming victory.This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me, he had boasted. He also caused some ments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers hostile toward him. That just encouraged him even more. Then on the day of the event, he turned out the fastest.It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain, Bill Johnson remarked proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States.Not many can do that.unit3At first, my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will because Will is black. I guess my dad was a bit of a racist. Unfortunately, no arguments could counter Dad39。t attend our wedding. I had to conclude that my dad was not the only prejudiced person we know. Other than my father, no one had e out to speak against my relationship with Will. It did not seem appropriate for them to show their resistance to our marriage in this way.

We wanted not only to love one another, but also to defy racial hatred by loving one another. We probably weren 39。clock. Later I found out that he had skipped school pletely that day.

Girls spell it Bobbie. It is characteristic for little boys to be given a name with a y sound at the end. For example, I often had a Jimmy, Johnny or Billy in my classes. In my second grade, I also had a Bobbie. In order not to confuse us when she called our names, our teacher assigned us the names Bobbie girl and Bobby Boy. This caused me a lot of trouble on the playground. There, my friends labeled me Bobbie girl. For my friends, the apparent contrast between my name and my sex was the source of much laughter. The fact that they labeled me as a girl was very embarrassing. I had a tendency to pensate for my name by acting more like a boy than I might have otherwise. I threw more rocks and yelled louder than the sum of all of the other boys added together. The real Bobbie girl, conversely, acted more like a girl. When my teacher realized she had made a mistake, she stopped calling us Bobbie girl and Bobby Boy. Unfortunately, my friends never forgot or ceased calling me Bobbie girl.
