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.
以下是关于一位年轻朋友的真实故事，他就住在圣路易斯。
安迪患有先天性发育失常病。因为两个脑半球连接异常，导致他的左右侧身体无法传递信息。长到3岁大的时候，他在走路、说话和玩耍方面都有困难。他能说的话很少，只有在两只手被别人拉着的时候才能慢慢地行走。
