According to Nick,the victory over his struggles,as well as his strength and passion(激情) for life today,can be owning to the power of hope.His family,friends and the many people he has met along the journey have inspired him to carry on,as well.Today this energetic young gentle man has achieved more than most people achieve in a lifetime.
