I don’t know when I realized my own condition. As a young child, I think I just accepted myself as the girl who had to stay in the chair all day because I couldn’t get up. When I was twelve, I started going to a summer camp for kids with disabilities. Then I was invited to sing a song. I had been always pretty shy, and strangely enough, performing before a group of people was the most fun I’d ever had. Maybe that is what it took to overcome my shyness. Realizing that I could do something that not everybody could do was really good for my confidence. I started thinking of myself as a singer instead of a girl who sits in a chair.

While I was at the Louis Armstrong Middle School in Queens, there was a support group for kids with disabilities, a place where we could discuss our problems. It’s no fun just sit around and complain all the time, so we decided to write a play about the difficulties we deal with every day. A director from Lincoln Center helped us construct Scenes from Our Lives. After we performed at the school, we put on the play at other places and decided to form a group and create new work.

Going to college is going to be a shock, because I’m not used to having total freedom to come and go when I want. Sometimes I feel like I’m still waiting my life to begin. So far my teenage years have been pretty limited by both physical and parental restrictions（限制）, so my theater group---The fearless Theater Company---has been a way for me to get over those limitations. Right now we’re working with Children’s Television Workshops to produce some short plays and we’re planning on filming our Lincoln Theater play, Satchmo’s Gang, later on this year, where I will sing What a Wonderful World. I think of it as a door that disabled kids can walk through and discover their potential（潜能） on the other side.
