——轮椅篮球如何助我接纳自己的残障

永远不要听别人说你没法成为你想成为的人，做你想做的事。

Never let somebody tell you that you can't be who you wanna be or do what you wanna do in life.

打我记事起，就坐上了轮椅。五岁时，我遭遇了一场车祸，胸部以下失去了知觉，无法运动。其他孩子出去玩的时候我只能在一旁坐着看，我觉得我不能和她们一起玩是因为我和他们不一样，这让我感到格格不入，而且我还很害羞，很内向。我觉得也有很多女孩和我想法一样，可能你也坐轮椅，也可能别人让你觉得自己是异类，但要知道，你潜力无限。

I've been in a wheelchair for as long as I can remember, when I was 5 years old, I was in a car wreck and lost feeling and movement from my chest down. When all the other kids would go out and play, I would just have to sit and watch. I would think I can't go play with the other kids, because I'm not like the other kids. It made me feel like I didn't fit in and I was really shy and reserved. I think there are a lot of girls out there that feel that way. Maybe you're in a wheelchair too or people make you feel different in other ways. You have to know that there's an infinite amount of potential just waiting to be let out.

当我发现这项适合我们这个群体的运动时，我找到了自己的使命。一开始我有很多需要去适应的地方，为了学习篮球，我花了不少时间训练。我感到自己变得更敏捷，更强壮了，这不仅是一项运动，还是一种激情。球场上，我是团队中重要的一员，我感到自己充满力量、斗志昂扬。

When I found out that there was a sport just for me with people just like me, I knew I'd found my calling. It was a big adjustment. It took a long time to train my body and mind to learn basketball. I started to feel myself getting faster and stronger and it became more than just a sport. It became a fashion. When I'm on the court, I'm a part of a team that relies on me. I feel strong and competitive.

如今，我不再将轮椅视作一种负担或是束缚，因为它让我在球场上跑得更快，也给了我力量。

Now, when I look at my wheelchair, I don't see it as a burden or something I'm stuck with. I'm excited to get in it because I get to go fast. I get to play. It empowers me.

生活给了我们很多放弃的理由，我们甚至因为害怕而不去尝试，但只有放手一试，才能真正开启幸福、健康、充实的人生。所以，去行动吧，去冲刺吧，我们生而无畏，不管处境如何，你都有无限的潜力，去战胜你的逆境。如果我不坐轮椅，我也不会成为大学篮球队队员。

Life gives us tons of reasons to give up or to be too afraid to try. But real life, a happy, healthy, fulfilled life doesn't start until you do try. So go play, go fast. It's what you're made to do. No matter your circumstances, you have unlimited potential turn your struggles into triumphs. If it wasn't for my wheelchair, I wouldn't be a college basketball player.
