2 . ''You're too small, Ginny, and you'll never make an Olympic team,'' claimed my first-ever rowing coach in the late winter of 1978. I had just taken     1     extremely large risk being here, as I stood in the basement of Yale's Payne Whitney Gymnasium. I had confessed my dream,     2     was admittedly outsize at that point. The easy road did not lie ahead for me.

    3    (defeat) not just by his choice of words, but by his certainty, I left the gym in a panic, rushing out into the cold winter weather to find comfort in the loneliness of my off-campus apartment.

As I walked, I began to reassess my future,    4     (make) room for my coach's opinion. But just because my own coach didn't have faith in me, or just because I'd heard a forceful ''no''    5    even a useless yes, it didn't mean I had to give up so quickly.    6    I arrived at my apartment, my dream was back on the center stage.

    7    (achieve) my goal, I struggled hard every day. Eventually, I made that 1980 team, despite our not beginning to compete at the Olympics. All the effort was worth the wait. And the lesson- not to give up too soon and not to allow someone else's opinion to destroy my desire     8    (stand) me in good stead since those years.Everything I have today is a result of sticking to that dream, all those hours on the water ,in the weight room, and in the stadium - they got me here, where I know now that big aspirations need not just time to develop, but a firm belief in them.     9    I am not my own champion for my dreams, no one else will. And I will not allow anyone else to decide for me    10    is possible.

Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave, my interests always lay beneath the sea's surface in a world I could only imagine and dream of. When I was twelve, I made my first adventures in the deep. Later I would learn how to dive,    1    (expand)my world of exploration many times over.

Perhaps    2    (great) turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution, asking how I    3    learn more about the sea. A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship,    4    I received. During one of their courses that summer, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a marine geologist. He loved the sea almost as    5    as I did. Soon he suggested I consider his school, the University of California, for my study. One year later I became a member of the freshman class.

Now my love affair    6    the sea became a serious endeavor. If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter. The undersea world is not our natural world. It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes. At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch, and it is totally dark. It is easy to get    7    (lose) in such a world. I needed to learn a lot about geography, navigation, geology, biology, and many other things.

I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U.S. Navy. If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures    8    they might get hurt, and I didn't want that to happen.

In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead people on adventures    9    we could explore the wonders of the deep.

Finally, the time    10    (come) to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come.
