Passage 76【2020 •四川省甘孜州中考】
31-year-old Rob from California USA was born without arms or legs. But like each of us, he has a dream and with the support of his parents and two sisters, Rob has made his dream come true.
His interest in football began when he was 13 and a high school football coach gave him a sports shirt. “To a 13-year-old kid, it just made me excited. I felt the need to know more about the sport,” Rob said. After a full understanding of it, Rob dreamed of becoming a football coach. And he made it.
To do his job, Rob has to use a special chair he controls with his head and neck, and write by using his mouth to hold a special tool.
Last autumn, Rob worked as head coach of the Prospect High School Junior team. Under him, the team won 8 and lost 2. It gave Rob confidence(信心) and courage. Clearly, football isn’t just a sport; it is his life now.
