题目内容
18.Two weeks before my 12th birthday,my teacher asked me to conduct an experiment.When I mixed some powder together,they exploded.Molten lava hit me in the face,but I felt no pain.I vividly remember standing there in a state of calmness.I thought I was in a dream,but however hard I struggled to swim to the surface of consciousness,I couldn't wake up.I didn't understand how terrifying it was until I heard people saying,"Who's that?"That's when I knew I was unrecognisable.
I was taken to hospital,but the doctors didn't know what to do with me.Later I was flown to Houston for surgery.Between the ages of 13and 16,I had 40operations.As each operation came and went,my vision would come back and then fade again.Eventually,it faded completely and I had what was left of my eyes removed for cosmetic(整形)reasons.
Since then,I have lived in total darkness.Most blind people,even if they don't have any sight they're aware of,are still able to perceive light.That gives them a sense of day and night.But not me.I absolutely lost that sense of time passing.
For many years,I felt my sight loss darkening my life like the loss of my parents from which I would never recover.But when I was in my 40s,I realised I had to find a way to live.I trained to become a counsellor,and that has helped me see my experiences in a different way.I can't fix people's broken lives-just like I can't fix my sight-but I can help them find a way to manage.
Sometimes it feels as if all the struggles and negative experiences I've lived through were in fact a kind of preparation for helping others to make their own way towards the light.
