When Jason’s parents saw him for the first time, they were shocked（震惊）.This lovely little baby with
shining blue eyes and curly hair was born disabled（残疾的）. But soon the young couple accepted this fact.
Jason’s arms are just half without hands and his legs aren’t fully grown either. They even forgot to think of him as
disabled.
At the age of six, he told his mother he wanted to get down from the prosthetics（假肢）and play with other
kids. This was the last time Jason had worn them. He now has an electric wheelchair（轮椅）, but he never uses it
at home or when it is easy for him to move using only his body.
Jason learned handwriting and coloring at school, holding the pen between the ends of his arms. He also
learned to eat with forks at home. When he was ten, he fell in love with football. He never had a pair of shoes in
his life because of the shape of his feet. He only wore socks on the football field. He never won a match, but he
refused to give up. His strong arms and body, as well as some fantastic ways made him a respected（受尊重的）
player on the school team. He went to a famous university after high school.
