marty fieldingHi, my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say I am “one in a million”. In other words, there are not many people in the world like me. You see, I have a muscle disease that sometimes makes me very weak and I can’t run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. Also, sometimes I am clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. The doctors don’t know exactly what is wrong with me, so they don’t know how to make me well. Unfortunately, they can’t tell me whether I will get worse as I get older, or I will stay the same as I am now. I have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time.Up until I was about 10 years old, I was the same as everyone else in my class. I used to climb trees and swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about one day being a famous football player and representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker. Some days I was too tired to get out of bed. I went into hospital for tests. I stayed there for nearly three months and missed a lot of school. I think I had at least a billion tests while I was there, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all the tests, no one could give my disease a name, so it is difficult to know what the future will be like.One of the worst things about my disease is that I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes kids laugh at me when I get out of breath after running just a short way or I have to stop half way up the stairs and rest before I can get up to the top. Sometimes, I am too weak to go to school, so I have missed a lot of lessons. Every time after a long absence from school, I feel really stupid because I am a bit behind the others.My life is a lot easier at high school than it was at primary school. My fellow students have begun to accept me for who I am. Of course, there will always be a few who cannot see the real person inside my body, but I do not get annoyed, I just ignore them.All in all, I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do really will, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work in the computer industry when I grow up. Last year I invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life and I don’t have time to sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends when I am well enough, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, five mice and a tank full of fish. Also, I am the only student in my class to have a pet snake. My pets take a lot of time to look after, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of them. I have a lot of study to do as well, especially after I have been sick for a while.In many ways my disability has made me grow stronger and more independent. I have had to work hard to live a normal life, but it has been worth it. If I had the chance to say one thing to healthy kids, it would be this: Just having a disability doesn’t mean your life is not satisfying. So don’t feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and don’t ignore the, either. Just accept them for who they are and give them encouragement to live as rich and full a life as you do.Thank you for reading my story.您好，我的名字是马蒂菲尔丁，我想你可以说我“在100万之一”。换句话说，有和我一样，在世界上没有什么人。你看，我有一个肌肉疾病，有时让我十分虚弱，我不能运行或攀爬尽快其他人的楼梯。另外，有时候我笨拙的东西或拖放到家具的碰撞。医生不知道究竟是我错了，于是他们不知道如何使我很好。不幸的是，他们不能告诉我，我是否会变得更糟，因为我的年纪渐长，否则我将保持不变，因为我已经学会了适应我的残疾。我的座右铭是：生活在一天的时间。直到我10岁，我是其他人一样在我的课。我经常爬树和游泳，踢足球。事实上，我一直梦想之一是一个著名的足球运动员一天，代表我在世界杯的国家。然后，我开始变得越来越弱。有些日子里，我太累了，起床。我走进医院接受检查。我在那里呆了近3个月，错过了很多学校。我想我至少有1亿试验的，我在那里，其中包括他们在削减从我的腿的肌肉一块和它在显微镜下观察。即使在所有的测试，没有人能够使我的疾病的名称，因此很难知道未来将会是什么样子。我的疾病的最糟糕的事情之一是，我不看任何其他人不同。所以，有时孩子在我笑，当我走出松口气了短短运行方式，否则我不得不停止了楼梯，中途休息之前，我可以到顶部。有时候，我太软弱去上学，所以我错过了很多教训。每次从学校后，长期没有时间，我觉得很愚蠢的，因为我是败家位。我的生活是一个很大的高中容易，它在小学。我的同学们已经开始接受我为我是谁。当然，总有一些谁也看不到我的身体里真正的人，但我不生气，我不理会他们。总之，我有一个美好的生活。我很高兴找到了很多事可以做真的会像写作和计算机编程。我的雄心是在计算机行业工作，当我长大。去年，我发明了一种电脑足球游戏和一个大公司已决定购买我。我有一个非常繁忙的生活，我没有时间坐下来为我自己感到遗憾。除了看电影和我的朋友当我不够好足球比赛，我和我的宠物花了很多时间。我有两只兔子，小鼠和五缸鱼。此外，我在我的全班唯一有宠物蛇。我的宠物采取了很多时间来照顾，但我用了他们的享受。我有很多研究工作做的好，尤其是在我已经有一段时间生病。在我的残疾，使我变得更加强大，更独立的许多方面。我曾努力过正常的生活，但它是值得的。如果我有机会说一件事，健康的孩子，会是这样的：只要有残疾并不意味着你的生活并不令人满意。因此，不要感到遗憾的伤残或利用他们的乐趣，不忽视，要么。只要接受他们是谁，他们并给予他们鼓励，生活的丰富，充满你的生活，作为做。感谢您阅读我的故事。 |
