I always felt sorry for people in wheelchair. Some people, old and weak, cannot get  1   by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits, and   2  themselves about with strong determination. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.

Then I fainted at Euro-Disney   3  low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest   4  after First Aid. I agreed to take it   5  but, as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color   6  my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he  7  it.

I could not believe this was   8  to me. Wheelchairs were   9  for other people but not for me. As my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me   10  .

Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to   11   the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was  12  back and forth.   13  kids. Why   14  they watch where they’re going?’ I thought.

People passing by stared down at me,   15  in their eyes. Then they would look   16  , maybe because they thought the   17  they forgot me the better.

“I am just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only   18   is you’ve got legs, and I have wheels.”

People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the   19  , I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly   20  .
