A Leap(跳跃)to Honor
Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
To perfect her skills, Lola __36__ for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That's especially impressive, __37__ she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift(移动) constantly. She often sees double and can't __38__ how far away things are.
When she was little, her mom __39__ that even though she couldn't see __40__,she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the __41__ right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more __42__ for her than for some of her teammates, she has never quit. She doesn't let her __43__ stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest __44__ is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to __45__ your mind that it'll take you where you want to go,”says Lola.
To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most _46__ for anyone because it's four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn't fall _47__ the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10—her highest score yet.
Lola doesn't want to be __48__differently from the other girls on her team. At competitions, the judges don't know about her vision __49__. She doesn't tell them, because she doesn't think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her _50__ attitude.
Lola never thinks about __51__. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her __52__ is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she's learned to other kids _53__ she grows up.
Lola is __54__ of all her hard work and success. She says it's helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics too. Her _55__ for others is “just believe in yourself.”
