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
