When Jason's parents saw him for the first
time, they were shocked(震惊). This lovely little baby
with shining blue eyes and curly hair was born disabled(残疾的). But soon the young couple accepted this fact. Jason's arms are
just half without hands and his legs aren't fully grown either. They even
forgot to think of him as disabled. At the age of six, he told his mother he
wanted to get down from the prosthetics(假肢)and play
with other kids. This was the last time Jason had worn them. He now has an
electric wheelchair(轮椅), but he never uses it at home
or when it is easy for him to move using only his body.
Jason learned handwriting and coloring at
school, holding the pen between the ends of his arms. He also learned to eat
with forks at home. When he was ten, he fell in love with football. He never
had a pair of shoes in his life because of the shape of his feet. He only wore
socks on the football field. He never won a match, but he refused to give up.
His strong arms and body, as well as some fantastic ways made him a respected(受尊重的) player on the school team. He went to a famous university after
high school.
Now Jason still faces many hardships
in life, but he will make you believe that you can do what he has done.
"Never be afraid of any difficulty",
Jason often encourages others in his speeches.
