战 胜 残 疾

阳的雄心壮志是，获得一张建筑师证书，或者成为一名保龄球高手。但当他在地下室里的显微镜下进行试验时，放在长凳上的一个水箱突然爆炸，把他从出口处炸了出去。当知道自己除了失去70%的听力之外，还失去了视力时，他完全喘不过气来。换句话说，他残疾了。

最初，尽管没人取笑他，他还是非常气恼于自己的笨拙。他取消了外出，总是在家里闲坐，和他的鹦鹉和乌龟默默相对。他的姐姐辞了职，用许多方式帮助他。她的帮助和鼓励对他的心理是如此有益，以至他很快就适应了自己的残疾，再次变得外向起来。他在一所接受他就读的学校里学习政治和文学，总是坐在靠近入口的前排，从不缺席。在他轻便好用的手提电脑的帮助下，他用听寫的方式学习得很好。他的论文《废除奴隶制》受到教授们的一致认可。课后，他和伙伴们还常常演奏大声却适合他听觉的鼓乐。毕业后，他通过设计软件为一家公司创造了很高的利润。总之，在他的社区里，他赢得了自己的尊严和人们的祝贺。

他一直都把所有最好的祝愿给予他残疾的同伴，并鼓励他们：“没关系，你拥有的一切一定足够让你取得自己的成就！”
