B
My legs don't do much because I have a serious disease. They just sit there and look pretty. When people look at me, they only see the chair - my wheelchair. I've been in one since I was 3 years old. And it doesn't matter if I graduate at the top of my class and go to law school. To some, I'll always be the girl in the chair.
But I don't think of myself as the kid who can't walk. Most of my friends don't even notice the chair anymore. I'm just the girl they've been friends with. My friends are good at lifting me in and out of my small car when we go to the movies. We even took the car to the dance. One of the boys helped me out of the car and all the girls helped me to fix my dress. Even in the crowded school elevator, there's always someone around to carry me.
There are a lot of things I can't do for myself, such as lifting my arms, dressing myself, and feeding myself. Even so, I do very well at school and I always tell myself that I'm just like any other kid in my school.
The truth is that my parents raised me to be proud of my disability (残疾). There are plenty of things I wish I could do differently. I wanted to be a doctor. But that's not going to work out. So I'll be a lawyer (律师) instead. I also wanted to dance and play soccer. My parents taught me that I'm like this for a reason - to educate people and show them that this disease affects (侵袭) my bones - not my brain. My friends Erica once said to me,"Kennedy, you're not disabled. You just can't walk."
