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.”

The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
