A
At thirteen, I was diagnod（诊断）with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone el in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raid my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you e, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
profound She glanced down at me through her glass, “you are not different from your classmate
s, young man.”

I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raid dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out(溢出) and my pen started to dance. I pleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was not different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surpri when it came back to me the next day--- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were the words:“See what you can do when you keep trying?”
