I entered this world with Poland syndrome, a disease that prevented the formation of my right arm and muscles. My parents believed playing with Lego could enhance my1 and gifted me my first kit when I was five. Initially I2 to piece the the components together but finally I crafted my first Lego work – a car. By the age of nine, I had 3 my first prosthetic arm (义肢) using Lego– a simple box that perfectly accommodated my right arm.
This early creation sparked my drive for further4 . Years later, I developed another prosthetic arm called the MK-1, which had fingers, a motor, a pressure sensor, and a grabber capable of 5 things. Before constructing it, I was against traditional prosthetics as they were too6 . My parents had looked into getting one years earlier, only to be discouraged by the prohibitive price. So, I concluded that I might not need one because I was managing well without.
As the years passed, my7 evolved from MK-1 to the more advanced and comfortable MK-V. One day, a couple with their eight-year-old son, who lost both8 in an accident, reached out to me after learning about my story. Short of money, they couldn't afford well-functioning prosthetics. "Daniel," the father9 asked, "we were wondering if you could help build a set of prosthetics for our son."
It would be a10 task, but I responded with a "yes". Without any delay, I11 the task. The subsequent days witnessed how I carefully selected the Lego piece and intricately integrated practical components to enhance its dexterity (灵巧). Days12 into weeks, and the boy-customized prosthetics finally took shape. It's time for them to fulfill their intended purpose.
I rushed to the boy's home and13 the prosthetics onto him. They worked! The room erupted with cheers! The boy expressed his gratitude and sprinted to his parents to14 them in the biggest hug. Never had I imagined that my creations, born out of mere15 , would someday make such a difference.
