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.
Ask yourself:“What are the seeds of strength hidden in my struggles today? If I get back up when I fall, what will that make possible tomorrow?”
“Overnight success”is the result of years of tenacity and continued learning. Victory is possible for those who decide it's their most compelling option. They' ll find the path to their dream. However, they will accept adversities as universities that will foster strength, growth, and skills to attract the victory they seek.
以下是關於一位年輕朋友的真實故事，他就住在聖路易斯。
安迪患有先天性發育失常病。因為兩個腦半球連接異常，導致他的左右側身體無法傳遞信息。長到3歲大的時候，他在走路、說話和玩耍方麵都有困難。他能說的話很少，隻有在兩隻手被別人拉著的時候才能慢慢地行走。
後來，安迪開始與病魔展開鬥爭。他被送去一個全天護理中心，在那裏他會接受每一項治療。他掙紮著讓自己變得更加強壯，但是有時也會流淚。安迪不喜歡父母一早把他獨自留在護理中心。然而，他們相信——衝破所有失敗的可能——安迪會長大成人，過上正常人的健康生活。他們對自己有信心，對安迪有信心。
