Question

My mom is a teacher．She finds a lesson in everything．I was watching Sesame Street by my second birthday so I’d   1  my ABCs and 123s．Our weekly family trips to the library began when I was three．And my mom had me spotting （認出） the historical markers with childlike   2  on family vacations by the time I was six．For her, life was all about learning．But the biggest lesson she   3  me was never to let my   4  define who I am, and never forget what is   5  in life．
I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome, an extremely   6  genetic bone and muscular disorder．There are only about 100 reported   7．At birth, my knees were bent more than 90 degrees, and I had my first surgery to   8  them when I was just six weeks old．This surgery was the first of many in my   9．I’d had 26 surgeries by the time I was 15．
Strange as it   10 , I have good memories of my medical days．One of my   11  is about my mom and me being in the hospital cafeteria（自助餐廳）．We sat down for an ice cream sandwich dessert．It was   12  fancy, but at that moment, I knew I was   13．
My parents pushed me to be as   14  as possible — even when I didn’t want to be．My mom taught me that I could do anything and that I should   15  let my disability stop me．In high school, I was a member of the National Honor Society, and in college, I was editor-in-chief of my school newspaper．I wouldn’t have had the   16  to push myself if my parents hadn’t been there,   17  me on and giving me a reality check when I got down on myself．
Every night before I go to bed, I   18  my mom for everything, for all the great help she’s given me．And   19  I get older, I know that “Thanks, Mom” is about so much more than the physical assistance．And that’s   20  matters the most．
