Nothing has come easy for Chris who has faced many obstacles（障碍）in his childhood. His father，Nick，said that his son suffered from illnesses most of his life. Chris was born with Down's syndrome（唐氏综合征）and a heart failure and underwent many major surgeries. All through his illnesses，the little boy always had a strong will.

"When you have a child with Down's syndrome，they don't fit in，they are different and they don't get invited to parties. They don't get invited to anything. Everything you do is a challenge，it is a fight. It is a battle to just get them to be included，"his father said.

Despite his life challenges，Chris tries hard to stay positive and work hard to overcome his obstacles."Don't tell me that I'll fail，"the young man defiantly（反抗地）replies to those who tell him he can't do anything.

Chris has always been athletic，so his father found a special Olympics Marathon programme for him to participate in. His father viewed the programme as a fun thing they could do together. He encouraged Chris to do something that no one had ever done before. He knew accomplishing a challenging event such as the Ironman Triathlon would make an incredibly powerful impact，not only on his son but on many others with disabilities. He asked Chris if he would be interested in participating in the most challenging race. "Yes，let's do it!"Chris enthusiastically replied.

Individuals with Down's syndrome，like Chris，often struggle with poor balance and delayed reaction time. Therefore，it took him a little longer to complete training routines in the beginning. However，Chris is no quitter，he kept on practicing. With his courage，willpower and his family's encouragement，every day he grew better，faster and stronger.

A wonderful experience happened to me this Saturday on my way to a mall. Two children ran towards mebottles in their hands，asking if I wanted to have bottled water. It was so （surprise）that I was unsure whether this was for real. I wondered if they （do）fund-raising. I asked them where（they）parents were and how much a bottle of water was. Then two adult women came to me and explained what the children were doing，"We are teaching the children （give）without getting anything in return."What a great idea!

 exchange of ideas opened up between me，the mothers and the children. We were no longer strangers to each other. We were having such a great time chatting. I felt very pleased，（end）up helping them give away the rest of the bottled water. 

One young lady was so （thank） that she said it was the best thing happened to her all day since she had a"bad"day at work. A couple accepted the water （happy）and kept on thanking us. After all was done，the children and I gave each other a high five. I really had great fun that day.

3 Life Lessons I Learned From My Father

·Prepare for each moment to be a learning moment.

Growing up，Dad taught my sister and me that，to be adaptable and successful，we had to be prepared for learning moments，which might not always be comfortable. ， and there will always be surprises along the way. Dad taught me to use every experience in my life as a foundational moment—not to be stopped by adversity（逆境），to look for and learn from the lessons from any situation and build from there. . Whether inside or outside of class，I'm always looking for learning moments，and I welcome new experiences.

·Stick to your goals.

From my early teenage years，Dad encouraged me to set goals，whether it was something as simple as picking up a hobby，trying a new sport or learning a new skill. Setting measurable goals didn't have to be rigorous（严格的），. To this day，I still keep a list of goals. Although I'm not quite as organized as I would like to be——I still make it a priority（优先） to outline the steps necessary to reach my goals and watch how I'm progressing.

·Preparation is the key to lower stress.

When I showed up to college for my freshman year，I saw frantic（紧张忙乱的） students everywhere，trying to manage all of their new-found responsibility. I must have stood out，because I wasn't really sweating the small stuff. . I'm almost through my first year，and I still feel prepared，because I had all the goal-setting，money and time-management skills established before I left home. And，yes，I will admit to Dad that it's due in part to the skills I learned growing up.

B. College is the perfect place to practice this

C. classes and social plans often bump me slightly off track

D. I felt mentally prepared，and that made a huge difference
