Cigla, from a poor family in northern Tibet’s Nagqu City, hopes to get into a sports college and become a professional (专业的) basketball player. Studying at Nagqu No. 2 High School in Lhasa has made it much easier for her to achieve her basketball dream.
In recent years, the Tibet government has set up several schools in Lhasa. Each school has seven basketball courts and a soccer field, which gives students chances to train their bodies and find sports that they like.
Basketball is one of the most popular sports among the girls at Nagqu No. 2 High School. More than a quarter of the school’s 1,600 girl students play the sport during PE classes or after school. Basketball competitions between classes are often held to draw more girls to the sport.
Cigla said she fell in love with the sport in her first basketball game. When she scores and hears her classmates cheer for her, she can’t help feeling proud. Playing basketball has helped her stay healthy and build up confidence (自信心) over the years. And meeting players from different schools has certainly made her a more outgoing person.
Unlike many top sports students who are not interested in other common subjects, Cigla is also good at some subjects including Chinese, English and math. She learns English even harder. She often memorizes English new words between the breaks of basketball training.

I asked my dad if I had ever made him cry before because I couldn’t remember ever seeing him cry.
“There was once,” he said.

It’s a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do when their kids are one year old. According to this tradition, it shows what the kid will value most when he or she grows up. For example, if the kid takes the pen, it means he or she will be an intelligent person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and play a lot.
My father was doing it because he was curious (好奇的). It was interesting for him to see which one I would pick.
He said that I just sat there and stared at the three things. He sat across from me and waited to see the result.
According to him, I moved toward him and he held his breath. Then I pushed everything aside and went right into his arms. Tears came to his eyes. He didn’t realize that he was one of the choices.
And that was the first and only time I made him cry.

Although I was the class clown at school, there’s an introverted side to my personality. That’s because I have a rarely seen disease that makes it hard for my brain to deal with the information what I see. Words swim on the page for me. I wanted to learn how to read but couldn’t.
In primary school, I didn’t talk to any teachers or family about this. I was clever at hiding it. When I had to write anything down, I guessed, forming what I hoped were the right words. I became good at learning by heart.
When I started secondary school, a student in class made me stand on a chair and read. It was terrible as a result I developed a bad stutter. I continued to fall through the net. The only thing I loved was practical biology. I wanted to be a doctor.
Then I left school and joined the army. I decided to be a doctor and trained hard. But things were discovered when I did a course in prehospital emergency care. I passed all my practical exams, preparing for them by watching others. The problem was the written exam. I was so hopeless but had to tell the examining doctor that I couldn’t read. He asked me to get back into education. I was 34.
I made up my mind to attend the Open University (OU) to do a medical degree. It was back to basics on the course. I knew the letters and some words, but my vocabulary was small. I paid for a tutor, who worked with me every week, teaching me to understand words through pictures.
It took me nine years to get that degree. Now, aged 47, I’m an ambassador for the OU, winning an award for receiving education so late in life. I teach prehospital emergency care to medical school students. I also teach children and adults with learning difficulties because I want to give others the chances I had.
I still struggle to read a menu if I’m not wearing my special glasses, but luckily there’s always someone around to lend me a hand. I look back and wonder how many other people have struggled with education and where they are now. My story suggests that no one should be discounted, ever.
