I am not like most kids because of my cerebral palsy (脑瘫). One of my 1 is shorter and smaller than the other, so I don't have much control over that foot. I have to wear a brace on my leg to keep it from curling (蜷缩) up, and that makes it hard for me to 2 .
Because I walk 3 and wear a brace, I am given unfriendly names by other kids. You don't know how cruel they can be unless you 4 it. Sometimes I just have to cry my feelings out. Sometimes I come home with my eyes red. It's not fun when others 5 me over something I can't control.
CP is not an illness. It will never go away. I will have it for my whole 6 . Over the years, I have learned to 7 my strong points, One of my strong points is singing. I try hard at it. That is something to keep me going every day.
If you also have some kind of 8 like me, start today to do something that makes you happy. Do whatever you believe you can. Talk to someone with the same problem.
I hope my story will 9 you to take a better look at life and know there are kids who also have a hard time. Don't let the hard times stop your 10 , and keep reaching for the stars.
