During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩症). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he

22、 would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen.

Never once did he complain or ask,

23、“Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me.

24、 When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck.
