I was nine years old, walking down the cold，wet streets of Springfield，with a bag of magazines on my shoulder．On my 39 that day．I came to that Company finally, whose owner, Mr. Rader，had always taken me there to ask his workers 40 they wanted any magazines．

Shaking off the 41 like a wet dog．I entered Mr. Rader's office．After a quick glance ,he 42 me over to the fire-place．Noticing the 43 in the top of my 44 ，he said，“Come with me!”，pulling me into his pickup 45 ．we pulled to a stop before a shoe store．Inside，a salesman 46 me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had 47 seen．I 48 about 10 feet tall when I got up 49 them．“We’d like a pair of new socks too．” Mr Rader said．

Back in his office, Mr Rader took out a 50 ，wrote something on it, and handed it to me．With 51 eyes，I read，“Do to others as you would have them do to you．” He said affectionately(深情地)，“Jimmy，I want you to　52　　I love you”．

I said good-bye, and for the first time I 53 a flicker of hope that somehow things would be 54 ．With people like Mr Rader in the world，there was hope，kindness and love，and that would always make a 55 ．

I stood outside New York’s Madison Square Garden and just stared, almost speechless. I was a farm boy from County Kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as I had in the world.

From the day I was born, there was a problem. The doctors at the Dublin hospital told my parents I had phocomelia, a deformity that affected both legs below the knees, which were outward and shorter than normal and each foot had just three toes.

Life was tough. I couldn’t stand, much less walk. I rarely left the farmhouse-and then only in someone’s arms. Mom bundled me up whenever she took me to town, no matter the season.

“The world will see him when he can walk, ” she told Dad. “And he will walk. ”

Mom devoted herself to helping me. She tried everything to get me on my feet. When I was three, she and Dad took me to a clinic in Dublin.

A few weeks later we returned to Dublin with my artificial limbs (假肢). Back home I practiced walking with my new limbs.

“There’s nothing anyone can do but you can’t, ” Mom said. “You and I are going to walk through town. ”

The next day Mom dressed me in my finest clothes. She wore a summer dress and fixed her hair and makeup. Dad drove us to the church. We stepped out of the car. Mom took my hand. “Hold your head up high, now, Ronan. ” she said.

We walked 300 meters to the post office. It was the farthest I’d walked, and I was sweating from the effort. Then we left the post office and continued down the street, Mom’s eyes shining with a mother’s pride.

That night, back on our farm, I lay exhaustedly on my bed. It meant nothing, though, compared to what I’d done on my walk.

Then I began to pursue my dream of singing. And at every step Mom’s words came back to me-Ronan, you can do anything anyone else can do-and the faith she had in God, who would help me do it.

I’ve sung from the grandest stages in Europe, to music played by the world’s finest musicians. That night, I stood at the Madison Square Garden, with Mom’s words chiming in my ears, the same place where Mom’s promise lived. Then I began singing. I couldn’t feel the pulse of the music in my feet, but I felt it deep in my ears.

I stood outside New York's Madison Square Garden and just stared, almost speechless. I was a farm boy from County Kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as I had in the world.

The first time I saw Carlos I would never have believed he was going to change my life. I had my arms full of books and I was tearing into the classroom when 1 ran into something solid. It was Carlos.

“My God, you’re tall,” he said.

Of course, the class began to laugh. Angry, I walked to my seat without a word.

I glanced back to see if Reed Harrington was laughing with the rest. That would be the last straw. But Reed was studying chemistry and did not seem to be aware of anything else. I didn’t know why I considered Reed my friend. Maybe just because he was a good two inches taller than I. Anyway, every time I blew out my birthday candles and made a wish, it was for a date with Reed Harrington.

“Take that seat，” Mr. McCarthy told the cocky newcomer Carlos，pointing to the only empty one，in the back of the room.

Carlos laughed widely. “But I need a couple of dictionaries.” Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos，not at him. He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.

The bell rang for classes. As I stood up to go, I saw Carlos coming toward me. “ I’ sorry I embarrassed you,” he said. I looked straight head over the top of his black hair. “That’s all right.”

“ I ought to know better.” He was still blocking my way.” What’s your name?” “Karen Forbes.” “ You probably heard me say I’m Carlos Herrera.” He held out his hand. Unwillingly, I shook hands with him. He looked up at me seriously with his brown eyes.” “ I don’t see why you’re so touchy.”

I brushed by him and said sharply, “You wouldn’t understand.”

He followed me a few steps. “I’m just the one who should, Karen,” he said. “ You and I have a lot in common.”

It was the school elections that made me think of Carlos again. Reed Harrington was voted president and Carlos vice-president. “How come?” I kept asking myself,” How come this shrimp who’s only been in town for a little over a month gets to be so popular?”

So that morning，I stopped Carlos and said，“It doesn’t seem to bother you — being short.” He looked up at me, “Of course I mind being short. But there isn’t anything I can do about it. When I realized I was going to have to spend my life in this undersized skin，I just decided to make the best of it and concentrate on being myself.” “You seem to get along great,” I admitted, “But what about me? Nobody wants to date a girl taller than he is.” “The trouble with you is that you’re afraid to be yourself. You’re smart. And you could be pretty. In fact, you might be more than pretty.” I felt myself turning red…

Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eyes of others.

There are those who 36 that since I can’t see, I obviously also cannot 37 . Very often people will talk with me at the top of their lungs. Conversely to this, people will also often 38 , assuming that since my eyes don’t work, my ears don’t either. For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for 39 to the plane, he or she will always pick up the phone and call a ground hostess in a very low voice. "Hi, Jane, wave got a 76 here." I have concluded that the word " 40 " is not used because they are unwilling to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously 41 .

On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can’t talk. Once I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after I was 42 , I was wheeled down to the X-ray room. Just at the door sat an elderly woman(judging from her voice) asked the orderly(护工) who had been wheeling me:" What is your name?" “What’s your name?” the orderly 43 to me. "Harold Krents", I replied. "Harold Krents", he repeated. "When was he born?" "When were you born?"…This continued for about five minutes before I finally interrupted, "Look, this is absolutely 44 . OK, I can’t see, but it’s go to become pretty 45 to both of you that I don’t need an interpreter(翻译)." “He says he doesn’t need an interpreter," the orderly reported to the woman. 　

The 46 misconception of all is the view that because I cant see, I can’t 47 . I was turned down by over forty law firms, 48 my qualifications included a cum laude degree from Harvard Law School. The 49 to find jobs, the continuous 50 of being told that it was impossible for a blind person to 51 law, the rejection letter, not based on my lack of 52 but rather on my disability, will always remain one of the most upsetting experiences of my life.

53 , the Department of Labor issued laws that demand equal 54 opportunities for the disabled. The business community’s response has been 55 . The attitude towards the disabled is beginning to change.
