When I was 13, my only purpose was to become the star on our football team. That meant 36 Miller King, who was the best player at our school.

Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out. I carried my football everywhere for　37　.

That season, I broke all of Miller’s records while he　39　the home games from the bench. We went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 　40　I often had crazy dreams in which I was to blame for Miller’s　41　.

I’m sure I was the last person in the world he wanted to accept　43　from. But even that challenge he accepted. I　44　him move slowly over the fence. When we were finally　45　on the other side, he said to me, “You know, I didn’t tell you this during the season, but you did　46　. Thank you for filling in for　47　.”
