I’m a 20-year-old boy, and the following is my story.
A month after I graduated from high school in August,2007,I was coming home from swim practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.
I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn’t open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around.At that time,it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body,my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.
After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live on my own again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland.After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again.After having a few lung tests,I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at Mary’s College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to 1ive every day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members.I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow,things would work out for the best.

Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything:animals, spiders, insects.
One day while walking through the woods, the nice old man found a cocoon(茧)of a butterfly.He took it home.A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.Then it seemed to stop making any progress.It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then appeared easily.
But it had a swollen body and small, fragile wings.The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would be smaller in time.Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling (慢慢爬行)around with a swollen body and fragile wings.
It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and hurry did not understand was that the limited cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles and difficulties, it would disable us.We would not be as strong as what we could have been.And we could never fly.

C.successful people | D.philosophyevents |
A.Life without any obstacles and difficulties is perfect. |
B.Obstacles and difficulties contribute to success. |
C.Never help a butterfly to get out of the cocoon. |
D.A butterfly can never fly without going through the cocoon |
