It was one of the happiest Saturday mornings I had spent with my daughter, Gigi. That was, until two strangers threw her into their car and sped away. It seemed like a bad dream.I could __11__ speak when the police questioned me.

 After that, the policeman asked me to go home to wait. My friend Gloria came to  __12__me. She took my hand and gave me   __13__. It was a picture of a little girl  __14__asleep in her bed, standing by the bed was a tall, blond(金发的)__15__.  We prayed and waited by the phone until sunset. The __16__ never rang.

 Suddenly，the front door swung open. I looked up and __17__. There stood Gigi. I cried, throwing my __18__ around her. Gigi said：“I was scared. We were going really fast on an old __19__ road I'd never seen before. But then a tall man walked out __20__ the car，and they ran off the road and hit a tree. Then the tall man __21__ the car door and pulled me out. He was really nice，and said I would be okay. I must have gone to __22__， because when I woke up it is in front of our house. He must have brought me home.” “But who...how did he know..., where to bring you？”My voice broke. Gigi __23__ her head. Just then Gigi noticed Gloria's picture. “That's him！” she __24__ at the picture. “Mommy，that's the man who pulled me out of the car！” Gloria and I turned __25__. “Are you sure that's the man？” Gloria asked. “Yeah, that's him __26__ that he didn't have wings，and he was wearing blue jeans.”

Later that night, the police found the__27__kidnappers. When questioned, the driver remembered turning away to __28__ hitting a tall blond man.

Twenty years have gone by. We have never heard from any one claiming to have   __29__Gigi. There have been no logical explanations for her __30__. But from that day on, I believe that all experiences, positive and negative, are given to us for our strengthening and learning.

    It was the men's skating finals of the Winter Olympics when l was 16.  Someday I'd be in the Olympics. In fact, it was my dream.

    That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally l was for Brian Boitano,a northern Californian like me. We had skated on the same ice.  I held my breath in amazement. Boitano performed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up.

    But what happened next is what I'll never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camera with his coach, surrounded by a group of journalists.  He was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me.  I could never be in the Olympics, I thought.  I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a press conference terrified me.

    I loved skating partly because I didn't have to talk. I could express myself with my jumps and dances better.  I didn't have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected.  I could feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at my shoes.  1 was sure I'd make a fool of myself.

    The next day l was at the rink（溜冰场）as usual.1 was practising a combination of jumps that had once seemed impossible.  1 worked very hard the next few years - on the ice and especially off.  After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me. So when my big moment came four years after Brian's, I was ready.

    Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.

    Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of? What scares you more than anything else? This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, step by step.
