Molly Burke was not born blind. She started losing her sight when she was four years old. Doctors said that she had a rare eye disease that would take away her     1     gradually. In Grade 1, she learned to read Braille (布莱叶盲文), although she could still see. Life was pretty     2    for the next few years. However, in Grade 7, things got worse. Black turned to grey. Yellow turned to white. Soon, Molly couldn’t see the blackboard.

Molly once broke her ankle and had to use crutches (拐杖) to help her walk, which formed a natural     3    between her and her friends, and people stopped inviting her to do things and started being     4    to her. A group of girls—girls who were once her friends—     5    a terrible act of bullying. They were usually responsible for walking Molly to the cafeteria. Instead, they took the blind 14-year-old outside and ran away. “I was alone, ” remembers Molly. “I couldn’t see. I couldn’t walk.” Luckily, Molly had her cell phone and was able to call her mother for help.

After she finished high school, Molly thought about what she wanted her future to be like before going to college. Her brother was working in a children’s home in Africa, and she wanted to do something that would be of help to others, too. Then, she found out about Me to We, an organization     6    to help people through volunteering and developing leadership skills. She joined the organization on a youth trip to Kenya to help build a school. While there, she spoke at a local girls’ school. Molly now knew what should be done next—to be one of the     7    speakers at Me to We.

Molly has been speaking to schools all over the United States and Canada about bullying. Her advice? Be strong whatever happens! During a speech in Toronto, she spoke to about 20,000 people. They stood up and clapped     8    after her speech. Her father said, “Molly has a real ability to     9    people and help others who are going through something, whether it’s a disability, or bullying, or a different set of     10    .”
