Dear diary,
I had a really bad day. I tried out for the basketball team, but the coach said I wasn’t tall enough. This has been my dream since I was little! I have practised so much, and it all ended today. I feel very bad...

Dear diary,
1 I was just reading my diary from four years ago. How time flies! Back then, I was so disappointed at being too short and failing to get on the basketball team. I couldn’t help laughing at my heartbreaking words then. Basketball was really a big deal for me. But things changed soon after that.
can’t help doing sth. 情不自禁做某事
can’t wait to do sth.迫不及待做某事
2 I was so hurt by my failure back then, and my friends were all worried. “Why not try something else, like swimming or skiing ” suggested my best friend. At first, I swam just to take my mind off things. But soon, I fell completely in love with the sport. I’ve won several competitions now and I’ve made a lot of friends. My life has taken a different turn.
fall in love with sb./sth. 爱上某人/某物
名词，意为“变化，转变”。
3 It’s great to look back and see my pains and gains with fresh eyes. Growing up will never be an easy thing. But we need to look at challenges the right way.
长难句分析：该句为主系表结构。It 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的不定式短语to look back and see...；不定式短语中，look back和see由and连接构成并列动作，my pains and gains是see的宾语，介词短语with fresh eyes作方式状语。
4 Now I understand that failure is a part of life. It may fall upon us at any stage in our lives. I have experienced many other terrible moments since then. But I have never felt so bad again. I know clearly that failure lasts just a moment. When one door closes, another opens. Life is waiting for us with many other surprises.
5 Tomorrow is another day.
The writer’s pain was that he tried out for the basketball team but was rejected by the coach because he wasn’t tall enough.
