As long as Michael could remember he had always dreamed of flying. Michaels mother rea

38、d him numerous stories about flying when he was growing up. Her stories were always ones that described the land from a birds-eye view. Her excitement and passion for details made Michaels dreams full of color and beauty. 第38頁(yè)/共178頁(yè)Michael had this one recurring dream. He would be running down a cou

39、ntry road. As he raced between golden wheat fields, he would always outrun the locomotives passing by. It was at the exact moment he took a deep breath that he began to lift off the ground. He would begin soaring like an eagle. Where he flew would always coincide with his mothers stories. Wherever h

40、e flew was with a keen eye for detail and the free spirit of his mothers love. 第39頁(yè)/共178頁(yè) His dad, on the other hand, was not a dreamer. Bert Stone was a hard-core realist.

42、des being an honor student and only child, Michael Stone continued to help his parents with their farm chores. Mildred Stone, Michaels mother, wished he could relax a bit more and be that “free dreaming” little boy. On one occasion she attempted to talk to him and his father about this, but his dad

43、quickly interrupted, smiled and said, “You want something, work for it!” All of Michaels vaults today seemed to be the reward for his hard work. If Michael Stone was surprised, excited or vain about clearing the bar at 17 feet, you couldnt tell. As soon as he landed on the inflated landing mat, and

44、with the crowd on its feet, Michael immediately began preparing for his next attempt at flight. 第41頁(yè)/共178頁(yè) When Michael cleared the bar at 17 feet 2 inches and 17 feet 4 inches, again he showed no emotion. As he lay on his back and heard the crowd groan, he knew the other vaulter had missed his fina

45、l jump. He knew it was time for his final jump. Since the other vaulter had fewer misses, Michael needed to clear this vault to win. A miss would get him second place. Nothing to be ashamed of, but Michael would not allow himself the thought of not winning first place.He seemed unaware of the fact t

46、hat he had just beaten his personal best by three inches and that he was one of the final two competitors in the pole-vaulting event at the National Junior Olympics. 第42頁(yè)/共178頁(yè) He rolled over and did his routine of three finger-tipped push-ups. He found his pole, stood and stepped on the runway that

47、 led to the most challenging event of his 17-year-old life. The runway felt different this time. It startled him for a brief moment. Then it all hit him like a wet bale of hay. The bar was set at nine inches higher than his personal best. Thats only one inch off the National record, he thought. The

Afraid would be a more accurate description. What was he going to do? He had never experienced these fee

49、lings. 第43頁(yè)/共178頁(yè) Then out of nowhere, and from the deepest depths of his soul, he pictured his mother. Why now? What was his mother doing in his thoughts at a time like this? It was simple. His mother always used to tell him when you felt tense, anxious or even scared, take deep breaths. So he did.

50、 Along with shaking the tension from his legs, he gently laid his pole at his feet. He began to stretch out his arms and upper body. The light breeze that was once there was now gone. He carefully picked up his pole. He felt his heart pounding. 第44頁(yè)/共178頁(yè)He was sure the crowd did, too. The silence w

The surface below him felt like the country road he used to dream about. Visions of the golden wheat fie

52、lds seemed to fill his thoughts. When he took a deep breath, it happened. He began to fly. His take-off was effortless. Michael Stone was now flying, just like in his childhood dreams. Only this time he knew he wasnt dreaming. This was real. Everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. The air aro

Michael was soaring like an eagle. 第45頁(yè)/共178頁(yè) It was either the eruption of the people in the stands or the thump of his landing that brought Michael back to earth. On his back with that wonderful hot sun on his face, he knew he could only see

54、in his minds eye the smile on his mothers face. He knew his dad was probably smiling too, even laughing. What he didnt know was that his dad was hugging his wife and crying. Thats right: Bert “If You want It, Work For It” Stone was crying like a baby in his wifes arms. He was crying harder than Mild

55、red had ever seen before. She also knew he was crying the greatest tears of all: tears of pride. 第46頁(yè)/共178頁(yè) Michael was immediately surrounded by people hugging and congratulating him on the greatest accomplishment of his life. He later went on that day to clear 17 feet 6 inches: a National and Inte
