In my memory, my dad always encouraged me to be my best self, explore the world, and believe in those who cared and loved me,which helped to make me who I am today. Besides, I've grown up with a pretty good model that my father always was.

One year, my father nearly lost his life. He was twenty-seven years old then. For several months, he'd been suffering from stomach pains. My dad was a former track star, so he knew how to handle pain. Convinced it was nothing serious, he just made a face until it was over whenever it flared up. My mom and dad were visiting his parents in Englewood, New Jersey when extreme pain struck my dad again. However, that time, the pain didn't fade away although my father tried to take control of it. Meanwhile, my dad developed a high fever. My grandparents rushed him to a nearby hospital. The doctors in the emergency room were confused about his condition. My dad's symptoms seemed consistent with appendicitis (阑尾炎)，but the pain wasn't localized to the lower part of his stomach, where the appendix(阑尾)is located. While they were debating what to do, a 33-year-old surgeon named Dr. Ibrahim, spoke up, "It must be an appendix. " Dr. Ibrahim guessed it was a rare condition and insisted that my dad should receive an operation immediately, although others were against his decision.

Dr. Ibrahim turned out to be very correct. My dad was wheeled into surgery and his appendix was removed just before it could burst and cause a deadly infection. At last, he got rid of danger. 

What if my father hadn't been in Englewood that day? What if young Dr. Ibrahim hadn't considered? He was in the right place at the right time, and it saved his life. Now I am a father of two children. Like my father I will never forget Dr. Ibrahim.

Boys and girls, 

Bob and I hung out the whole summer, running in the field, swimming in the lake and exploring everywhere joyfully. 

It was a typical summer afternoon. Bob suggested we skip a language lesson to play basketball. Aha! I would show my defense, lay-ups and three-point shooting. I loved to explore, I loved sports, and I loved basketball most. I believed I would be the next LeBron James. 

But my passion for sports came to a sudden stop when I began experiencing extreme back pain later that day. 

After several visits to doctors, finally I was told that a spine (脊柱) surgery was necessary. Unfortunately, the surgery accidentally damaged my spinal cord (脊髓). I was in the ward hanging face down to relieve the pressure on my spine. 

After four-month rehabilitation training (康复训练) in hospital, reality slowly set in – I was unable to walk again. I couldn't believe this should have happened to me, that it wasn't possible to recover, that I wouldn't become a famous basketball player, that my life as I had known it, was over. My future would be chained to a wheelchair. I was just 16 years old!

Back home, I learned how hard it was going to be to get around in a wheelchair. I withdrew from my friends and my basketball. At Bob's repeated invitation, I agreed to go to our regular swimming hole. Unable to make it down the riverbank alone, I was too proud to ask for help. When I finally realized my pride would keep me away from people and sports I loved, I let Bob carry me on his back to the river's edge.

Allowing others to help was a turning point. I realized my attitude was the biggest barrier I had to face. How could I expect others to see my potential if I didn't see it myself? How could I realize my basketball dream if I withdrew into myself?

Paragraph1:One day, Bob took me to a wheelchair basketball game. 

 

Paragraph2:With Bob's encouragement, I decided to have a try at my dream.

 

In my hometown there's a river. After school, many(student) went there and swam, but my parents didn't allow me to swim there. One reason was that almost every year one or two people died in the river and the second was that I was very thin and weak. My parents (worry) about me.

One afternoon, I didn't have class; my friends and I went outside to play. We went to the river and they swam there; they (be) very happy. I stood on the bank. I really wanted to swim, but I was afraid. At that moment one friend smiled and (persuade) me, "The river is shallow. You can swim here and I can teach you. " I walked down to the river and she taught me. After half hour she said, You practice here. I want to swim for a while. I practiced (happy) again and again. When I stood up, I felt the water was deep and I sank in the water. Suddenly a hand caught me. It was one of (I) friends.

I went home but I didn't tell my parents. Soon my parents knew that event, which made them very(anger). My father has a friend, knew that thing and told my father, " Your daughter is so thin, and she needs to do exercise. I can teach her (swim). " Dad thought he was right and allowed me to swim. Therefore I could swim every day.
