In a small town in the United States, there was a girl named Sarah who loved playing basketball. She dreamt of becoming a professional basketball player and playing for the national team. She started practicing every day and hoped to be selected for the school team. However, as she began to play, she realized that she wasn't as good as she thought. She often missed the shots and couldn't dribble the ball properly. Despite her hard work, she couldn't perform well in the selection trials. Sarah felt discouraged and thought of giving up, but then she remembered the saying "Rome wasn't built in a day". She realized that becoming a professional basketball player would take time and lots of effort. She continued to practice daily and seek guidance from her coach. She improved slowly but steadily. Years passed, and she didn't give up on her dream. Finally, her hard work paid off. She got selected for the state basketball team. Eventually, she became a part of the national basketball team and achieved her dream.
