I was born legally blind. Of all the stories of my early childhood, the one about a tree is my mother’s favorite.
I was only two when the ________ occurred. We had just arrived home from a trip. Mom lifted me out of the car and turned to speak to the driver. I took advantage of my brief _______ to dash across the lawn (草坪) — and hit a large maple tree! I was running so fast that I bounced off the trunk and ________ on my backside. Mom _____ me to start crying, but I just sat there for a minute. Then I ________ myself up and kept right on going. Mom always adds here that, as many times as I ________ across the lawn after that, I never again _______ into that tree.
Mom loves to use this story as an ________. It reminds her that children don’t enter life _______ to take risks or unwilling to ________ again when they fall down. She never wanted me to lose that ________ as I grew older. When I made my major life decisions, I was still that little girl tearing full-speed across the lawn.
