One Friday night five teenage girls at Danville High School became five young adults,and they did so with their class.I think you'd like to know the story.
That night,in a crowded gym,just before the start of the varsity game (校队比赛),the five girls,who were members of the Danville High School basketball team,four of them starters,weren't in uniform to play.They were there to explain why they were kicked off the team.
While school had been out for the Christmas and New Year's holidays,the girls had gone to a party with several of their friends.It was New Year's Eve.There was alcohol(酒) there.And the five girls all drank some.
Coach Tammy Rainville has a zero-tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for the members of her team.Every kid who plays for her knows that rule.So when classes began after the holidays,rumors(谣言) about the five girls began spreading quickly.The five girls got together and decided to go to their coach with the full story.The coach said she couldn'tbackdownon her rule.The players agreed.That Friday night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision.At last one of them,Shelly,said:"We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids.We made a mistake…What we did was not worth it.We hope this event will make everyone open their eyes and realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community.And if you work with us to try to solve this problem,you will help us feel that we haven't been thrown off our basketball team for nothing."The five girls left the gym and a great cheer went up from the crowd.
The Danville High School girls'basketball team may not win another game this year.But they've learned something about personal responsibility,the effect of one's actions on others,and honesty that will serve them well throughout life.
