When I was a child, my parents taught me the difference between good and bad behavior by showing me specific examples. My mother told me that you don’t   36   other kids because you would not like    37   if they hit you. That makes   38   . But, if my mother told me to be “nice” to someone, it was too vague for me to   39  .

And that makes me feel I’ve    53   something important.

Some people might think if I could snap my   54   I’d choose to be “normal”. But, I wouldn’t want to give up my    55    to see in beautiful, precise pictures. I believe in them.
