The following is a true story about a young friend who lives in St. Louis.
Andy was born with a developmental disorder. The two sides of his brain were not joined normally with each other. The right side of his body could not communicate with the left. At age three， it was difficult for him to walk， speak， and play. He could only echo back a few words， and walk slowly while someone held each of his hands.
Then came the struggles. He attended an all-day center where he was enrolled in every imaginable therapy. He struggled， sometimes in tears， to get stronger. Andy hated it when his parents would leave him there in the mornings. However， they believed—against all odds—that he would grow up to live a normal healthy life. They believed it for themselves， and for Andy.
It paid off. Today Andy is a successful 13-year-old high school student. His progress has been nothing short of phenomenal. He receives special help with a few things， but joins with his friends in all the activities he loves. Andy overcame enormous odds to move from adversity to victory.
