My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other , including her "sixth sense", that she hardly gives the impression that she has anything. Jennifer looks after her children much like the rest of us, that she doesn’t push too hard on them, really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that often don't realize she's blind.
I this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was excited about her finger-painting project.

At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla . And I knew my child was because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my .”

One of them told me with a smile, “Go your own ; let others talk.” This girl would always play basketball with me. Even the boy who sat next to me in class talked about with me almost every day.
I was inspired by them. Confidence and passion to my heart. I am ready to stand up and play. I will play as well as I can, for me, even the sky is boundless (无限的).
Basketball has become an important part of my . I am interested in it. I watch matches and enjoy playing almost every day. Through basketball, not only do I feel happy and confident, but also a lot.
I've heard the NBA star Tracy McGrady say, “Nothing is impossible.” It is from an advertisement on TV. I have to realize that life is just like playing basketball. You should have an . After that, just be confident and going. Never give up and you'll make it sooner or later.

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight(货物)yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can still the brightness of sunshine. It would be to see again, but a can do strange things to people. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the of them made me more what I had.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustmentsto reality. The more quickly a person is able to make these adjustments, the more his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never . I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me—the to live—which I didn’t see, and they made me want to against blindness.
The hardest I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: the confidence that I am, despite being imperfect, a real, person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and this confidence. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this.” I said. “Take it with you,” he me, “and roll it around.” The words in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought : playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I a successful variation of baseball and I called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to be clear about my . It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.
