Never Give Up

Once, somewhere in England, there was a lovely girl named Alexis, born to a rich and happy family. After a period of about three years, she had a sister called Xiella. They lived happily. 

     From her school age, Alexis loved playing basketball. She also taught her sister the sport. 

     Years past by. They grew older. From the age of 9, Alexis had a dream of being a part of the British Basketball Team, or the BBT. She practiced a lot. When she was 22, she decided to go to the auditions. 

     The audition was in London. She had to travel by air. On her way to the airport, she met with an accident. Her hand was cut off. Straight away the people around took her to the hospital. Her parents and sister were informed and they soon arrived. The doctor said that she was out of danger but her hand..., she could not get back her right hand. 

    When Alexis knew about this, she was weeping but then stopped and said to herself,” I lost my hand, so…, does that mean I can’t do anything, and my dreams can never come true? NO! My dreams can come true, and…, I…, still can succeed in life and reach my goals. I will NEVER GIVE UP!”

     She had fixed a plastic arm to herself. She went for the auditions and was also selected. What Great News! She was the captain. Her first match was with Germany. Her team won and she was also considered to be the best player of the match.  

    She played many matches also in different countries.  She grew old…

    Once she was very sick. Her friends had come to visit her. They were talking, and after some time, on the spot, she met the last minute of her life, she died, saying:

“GO FOR YOUR DREAMS,

NEVER GIVE UP, NO MATTER WHAT MAY STOP YOU….”

  

Many people were inspired by her. Her sister, Xiella is also included in this.
