My mom is a teacher．She finds a lesson in everything．I was watching Sesame Stree

My mom is a teacher．She finds a lesson ineverything．I waswatching Sesame Street by my second birthday so I’d   16  my ABCs and 123s．Ourweekly family trips to the library began when I was three．And my mom had me spotting （认出） the historical markers withchildlike   17   on family vacations by the time I was six．For her, life was all aboutlearning．But thebiggest lesson she   18   me was never to letmy   19   define who I am, and never forget whatis   20   in life．

I was born with Freeman-Sheldon Syndrome,an extremely   21   genetic bone and muscular disorder．There are only about 100reported   22 ．At birth, my knees were bent more than 90 degrees, and I had myfirst surgery to   23   them when I was just six weeks old．This surgery was the first ofmany in my   24 ．I’d had 26 surgeries by the time I was 15．

Strange as it   25  , I havegood memories of my medical days．One of my   26   is about my mom and me being inthe hospital cafeteria（自助餐厅）．We sat down for an ice cream sandwich dessert．It was  27   fancy, but at that moment, I knew I was   28 ．

My parents pushed me to be as  29   as possible — even when I didn’t want to be．My mom taught me that I coulddo anything and that I should   30   let my disability stopme．In high school,I was a member of the National Honor Society, and in college, I waseditor-in-chief of my school newspaper．I wouldn’t have had the   31   to push myself ifmy parents hadn’t been there,   32   me on and giving me areality check when I got down on myself．

Every night before I go to bed,I   33   my mom for everything, for all the great helpshe’s given me．And  34   I get older, I know that “Thanks, Mom” is about so much morethan the physical assistance．And that’s   35   matters the most．
