　　I am the third daughter in a family of five. I was born at Malden Hospital and was immediately sent to Floating Hospital in Boston. I had a hole in my heart and a low platelet count (血小板计数)，which are common problems of people with TAR syndrome (综合征)．I came home for a short stay after my birth and then went back and did not return home until just before Thanksgiving. My parents have told me that after I was born our family doctor had a very important conversation with them. He said，"You have two choices with your daughter. One is that you do everything for her now，in the future，and after you die；the other is that you do nothing." My parents picked the former.

　　I do not have a great many memories of my childhood but I do remember I spent the first ten years in and out of hospitals. I do remember I stayed in the Boston hospital until I was around 2 years old and then I went to Shriners. I guess few children can bear that.

　　I've grown up with great determination. I think that was a personality trait that I was born with and then my family developed that in me as I grew up. I had to deal with a lot of people making fun of me，staring at me，and pitying me. At a young age I realized that I could hide my pain with laughter. So I used that method when other children made fun of me and they stopped a lot faster than if I cried. Laughter was not the expected response so I guess they didn't feel it was fun to continue. There was emotional and physical pain. I required the aid of a walker until I was about five years old. I had about ten major operations before the age of ten. I had to relearn to walk several times. I think having TAR syndrome has made me a strong person physically and emotionally. Despite these difficulties and challenges，I have gone on to be awarded a Master's Degree and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (跆拳道)，and I am now an inspirational speaker.
