I used to watch her from my kitchen window; she seemed so small as she
muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school
was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as
they played during recess. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood
out from them all. I remember the first day I saw her playing
basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other
kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the
net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to
notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would
practice dribbing and shooting over and over again, sometimes until
dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly
in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said, "I want to
go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. I like
basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a
scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the
best. My daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't
count." Then she smiled and ran towards the court to recap the
routine I had seen over and over again.
