Like a Sunflower
He was diagnosed with Restinoblastoma when he turned to eight months of birth. His pagant parents were speechless when knowing his disease. Without finance, they ran into the city hospital begged for mercy from the doctors. At first, all they received were headshakes. The couple did not give up and they got what they wished eventually. He spent entire his childhood at the hospitals with his mother and grandmother with mercy from many other patients and donors since his father had left them after some treatments.
Both of his eyes were removed when he was two years old. He had gone through chemos with brave. He was accepted into a blind school when he was nine years old. At school, he learned to play, to care, and to love. He quickly adjusted his life into school life. He navigated around the campus easily after one week, he learned to bathe himself after one week, and he was able to wash his cloth after one month. Only after two month, he was able to read and write in Braille. Therefore, afther nine months, the school principal decided to put him into inclusive program. He is like a sunflower which always tries to look forward with hope.
Now he is in the grade one at a mainstream elementary school. He also takes a computer class and guitar class.His shiny face is always smiling and full of hope. Please contuniue to support children with visual impairment so that this boy and his peers could develop and be as much independent as possible.
