I'd moved to U.S.jye.ai live with my uncle,and one year after that,I lost my vision.I had since learned to get about with a cane,and now I craved getting back to pursue my dream of being a broadcaster.
But my aunt and uncle said it was much too dangerous for me to go out on my own.What if I got hit by a car?I must stay in the house.I was dogged.I rejected their guesses.I believed I could regain my way if I lost it.I told my aunt and uncle I would pay close attention,I would listen and be very careful when crossing streets.
A public library was offering a tuition-free course on how to use a computer with screen reading software designed for blind people.This was an important opportunity for me,My aunt and uncle reluctantly agreed.
I knew that the American singer Ray Charles,who was also blind,got around on his own without a cane.If he could do it without a cane,I reasoned,surely I could do it with one.Ray' s secret was to count steps.But I couldn't seem to do that the way he had.Instead I captured the layout (布局) of places I visited by taking note of landmarks in my mind.I'd imagine the mental map I'd drawn and use that in order to navigate.Today,I do this automatically.
But that doesn't mean I didn't lose my way many times in the process of acquiring this skill.Sometimes I'd be so discouraged that I'd consider giving up.Maybe I should stay home and wait until someone could help me.On those days when I lost my way,I'd go to bed feeling down.And because I didn't want my uncle to worry about me,I kept that to myself.
Since that time,I've pursued my education.I've earned three academic degrees,including a master's,in face-to-face classrooms.Today,I'm a published journalist and audio producer.Now,surprised at my progress,my uncle screams to my aunt,"That boy can see!"

1.Chen Xingrong,16,was diagnosed with autism(自閉癥) when he was a baby.After being diagnosed with autism,his father,Chen Xunhu,quit his job and devoted his full attention to the topic of autism.In 2012,Chen Xunhu learned that swimming could help autistic people enhance their vital capacity and articulation(發(fā)音),so he spent months learning how to swim by watching videos and reading books.He spent several months teaching his son and discovered that his son had gradually developed the ability to control his breath under water,which significantly boosted his confidence.
The father laid the groundwork for his son's swimming lessons.Two hand rings and a swing are installed from the ceiling by the father to help Chen Xingrong strengthen his muscles and learn swimming movements more precisely.On one wall of their home hangs a table for Chen Xingrong's routine exercises. "I used to plan all his exercises for him,but now it is all up to him.He decides how many exercises he wants to do,and it's a process of self-management," said Chen Xunhu.
