马丁的故事

嗨,我的名字是马丁。

费尔丁和我猜你会说我是“万中挑一。

换句话说,没有很多象我这样的人。

你看,我有一个肌肉疾病,这使我很弱,所以我不会跑或爬楼梯,就像其他的人。

此外,有时我很笨手笨脚下降,事物或撞到家具。

不幸的是,医生们不知道如何让自己变得更美好,但我非常的友好,并且已经学会适应我的障碍。

我的座右铭是:

过好生活中的每一天。

直到我十岁的时候我相同于其他人一样。

我过去爬树,游泳和踢足球。

事实上,我常常渴望发挥专业足球,可能代表我的国家在世界杯上的表现。

然后我开始变得虚弱,直到我能只喜欢足球长凳上在体育馆里。

最后我走进医院医疗试验。

我在那儿呆了将近三个月了。

我想我至少有10亿测试,包括在其中,他们剪断出块肌肉从我的腿而且看一看在显微镜下观察。

即使听完了所有,没人能给我的病一个名字,很难知道以后会发生什么吧。

”

所面临的一个问题是我看起来不任何与别人不同。

所以有时候有些孩子会笑我的小学,我走出跑步后呼吸短角球,不得不停下来休息爬到楼梯的一半。

有时我太弱,所以我去学校教育的痛苦。

每次我回来,我感到在离开笨,是因为我是在别人后面了。

我的生活是很容易在高中,因为同学们已经接受了我。

那些无法看到真正的人,在我的身体不使我很烦,我对它们不予理会。

总之我有一个好的生活。

我很高兴地发现许多事情我能做的事,比如写作和计算机编程。

我的愿望是为一家公司工作开展计算机软件,当我长大。

去年我发明了一种计算机的足球比赛和一个大公司决定购买我。

我有一个非常忙碌的生活没有时间坐着为自己难过。

以及在看电影和橄榄球场比赛,我的朋友,我花很多时间和我的宠物。

我有两只兔子,一只鹦鹉,一辆坦克满了鱼和一只乌龟。

照看我的宠物正确需要很多的时间,而且我发现它值得的。

我也要做很多工作,特别是我已经离开一会儿。

在很多方面,我的残疾使我更强的心理,会变得更加独立。

我必须努力工作来过一个正常的生活了,但是它是值得的。

如果我有机会说一件事对健康的孩子,那就是:

有残疾并不意味着你目前的生活很不满意。

所以不要惋惜身心障碍者或取笑他们,不要忽略这些标准。

只接受他们,给他们鼓励丰富的生活让你的生活。

谢谢你读我的故事。
