It would be ________ to see again, but a disaster can do strange things to people. I don’t mean I would ________ to go without my eyes.

My parents and my teachers saw something in me---a potential(潛能)to live---which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight in out with blindness.

The ________ lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down so unfamiliar staircase alone. I ________ something bigger than that: a confidence that I am, although being imperfect, a real, positive(積極的)person; that there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

It took me years to discover and strengthen this confidence. It had to start with the easy and simple things, ________ a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was laughing at me and I was ________ . “I can’t use this,” I said. “Take with you,” he encouraged me, “and roll it around.” The words were always in my head. “Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went.

We called it ground ball.
