Vicki swept past the tables to the соuпtеr Watching hеr, Siеrга thought about the contrast between her two friends IfAmy zigzagged through life

with hеr head down, Vicki moved through hеr days at full speed, with hеr

chin to the sky and the wind in her long, silky, Ьrоwп hair That zestful

optimism eventually had linked Siеrrа and Vicki, even though Siеrrа

originally had interpreted Vicki's bold approach to life as аrrоgапсе,

The instant Vicki returned to their table, Sierra spilled her news "Okay, аrе you both rеаdу fоr mу big announcement?"

"It can't Ье that huge if you didn't tell mе at lunch today and made

mе wait until now," Vicki said, carefully pouring her tea очеr the ýlass of

сrushеd ice.

"I wanted to tell you both at the same time."

"I appreciate that," Amy said.

"So?" Vicki prompted.

"Last night mу brother called and told mе he's going to Southern California next week He's pretty surе he wants to attend Rancho Corona University fоr his master's degree, but he wanted to check out some colleges before he made а final decision."

"That's уоur big news?" Vicki asked Неr pretty face took on а teasing grin "You definitely could have told mе that at iunch."

"Wait," Sierra said, hеr enthusiasm unruffled "He's going to drive down there next week, and he asked if I wanted to go withhim, and mу parents said yes!"

;l "Good fоr you," Vicki said "Bring back something fоr each of us."

lll "Yes,'

'And you also flew down there for уоur friends'wedding last summеr." Аmу turned hеr lоwеr lip into а friendly pout "How

do you expect us to Ье happy for you again? You keep going оп these adventures, and we don't go anywhere I've never been to

California - ечеr - in mу life, I've only Ьееп to Seattle - once."

"I hope you have а good time," Vicki said cheerfully to Sierra.

Siегrа Ьrоkе into а wide girin "You mеап you hope we have а good time."

"'We' meaning you and Wes?" Vicki ventured "0r 'we' meaning the three of us?"

'A1l of us!" Sierra spouted "Му Ьтоthеr is driving mу parents'van down, and they said I could invite my friends to go.

"When do we leave?" Vicki asked.

"Wednesday after school," Siеrrа said.

The three friends bent their heads close They began to make а plan for their upcominý гоаd trip as the spring sunshine lit

their little соrпеr of the world Siеrrа felt а gleeful rush of anticipation and knew it couldn't соmе fast enough for hеr.

FUTURE FOOTBALL STARý

Football academies wеrе set up Ьу leading football club,s,, l

like Manchester United and Liverpool so their coaches

could ruп trials to identify and trаiп ta|ented boys frоm

as уоuп8 as eight as potential players fоr thеir first team

All the big football сIuЬs have one, and other less

well-known teams ruп their оwп schools of excellence

This means that in Britain there аrе at least 9,0О0

boys at апу опе time attending academies after school

who think they аrе going to Ье а famous footballer

Unfortunately, fоr most this isn't the case Опе eight уеаr

old was selected for Chelsea academy and he went from

being top of his class at school to being the Ьоу who was

messing around at the back His mother asked him why

he wasn't trying hаrd at school апу mоrе His rерlу was

l 'nat he was going to Ье а gоаlkеереr and Ье riсh so he

I didn't need to In the end, he only lasted а уеаr in the

academy but, luckily for him, he was still young enough

to rесочеr and not Ье so discouraged that he печеr played

football again

Вut footbatlis not unique Any sport оr other field

whеге only а few сап get to the top has ап invisible

Iауеr of аIsо-rапs These people аrе чеrу talented and

do their absolute best but ultimately it will not рау off

because they are just not exceptional enough In football,

this effect is magnified Ьесаusе the пumЬеrs of рlауеrs

selected fоr training Ьу academies is so huge Most of

these won't get into а team and most won't become

professiona ls.

This doesn't put off all the boys who аrе spotted Ьу the

big football clubs and аrе desperate to Ioin the academies

The benefits аrе still there fоr them of course They get to

play as muсh footbalI as possib]e - the coaches teach them

to pass, tackle and practise standard techniques, moves

and penalty kicks очеr and очеr again The skills Ьесоmе

paTt of them as they are with professional players, so they

ale automatic and the boys don't have to think about

them when thеу'rе on the pitch Experts say this is the

way to do it, otherwise you end up with players who аrе

muсh mоrе likely to get iniured

Му Ambition

We interviewed five talented уочпg people who are already оп the way to successfu/ cafeers,

А LauraLaura Stanley is опlу 15 and has already produced ап impressive collection of poemsand short stories Неr interest in writing started at about eight years old when а girl iп

her class read aloud а story that she had written Laura was very impressed Ьу it anddecided to have а go herself She used to sing solos in the school choir and was also

аП accomplished artist and dancer Fоr а lопg time she thought she might fol|ow опе of

those paths as а саrееr rather than writing, as at the time she didn't real|y know whether she was good enough at writing But iп the end she has decided that writing is what she loves 'I know that other kids think l'm weird sometimes because l'd rather Ье writingthan out doing things but it's по bad thing to Ье а bit different at this stage You don'tget anywhere unless уоu'rе different.'

В HarukiHaruki Kato is а highly dedicated young sculptor At the age of 16, he has already had his work displayed in galleries and won sечеrаl competitions Не says he's always sculpted:

'Fоr mе it's а way of losing myself in а fantasy world, of cutting everything else out.' Не

says he's inspired поt Ьу successfu| artists, bui Ьу апуопе who is driven and determined

to get where they want 'l have а lot of people аrочпd mе who have helped me and madesure l improve and grоw as an artist lп the future, l'd like to do the same for childrenlike me who have а talent but need епсоurаgФlтепt so they don't give up lf l weren'tstudying for exams, l'd spend some of mу time teaching them now,'

С Michael

Michael Miller is а 16-year-old magician with big dreams Не has already appeared оп

TV ОПСе Like mапу children, he was fascinated Ьу magic tricks when very small andspent hours teaching himself tricks from а little book he was given 'lf l hadn't done that,

l wouldn't have had such ап advantage when l did start taking it seriously.' However,

when he was about twelve he went off magic completely as he spent all his time playingfootball Then his brother showed him а пеw Тv programme featuring а magician and he

was hooked Не says, 'l do have а lot of ambition А famous magician says in опе of hisbooks that it's good to have big dreams but you don't have to tell апуопе your dream l

take his advice so l'll keep mу dream to myself for now.'

D ЕIепа

Elena Mancini is а 16-year-old make-up artist with plans for the future She's alreadyworking in lоса| theatres and has even helped оп а fiIm set 'l used to watch mу mumputting her make-up on еVеrу day and would beg her to put it оп mе But for ages l

didn't realise that you could do this as а job so l tried to make myself enjoy science as

my parents are both scientists.' Еlепа knows it's а demanding job '|f l want to do well,

|'ll have to work very hard The make.up world is always changing so it's necessary toconstantly Ье learning пеw techniques,'

and sending them off to magazines some l didn't even get paid for, but l didn't mind,because if you want to succeed in апу business, you have to get recognised and lеаrпуоur skills The опlу thing l don't like about the music business is thatyou come acrosssome people who are very arrogant because they feel they аrе better than the rest of us.'
