Jean Driscoll was born to be a sport player. Though she was born with a problem in her spine (脊 柱 ), it did not stop her. In fact, she has won the wheelchair division(轮椅组) of the Boston Marathon seven times. She has also won medals in shorter races at the Paralympics.
As a child, Driscoll had to wear crutches ( 拐 杖) to help her walk. However, she enjoyed sports with other kids and taught herself to ride a bike.
At the age of 14, she fell off her bike and hurt her hip(臀部), with the result that she had to use a wheelchair.
At first, Driscoll was afraid that being in a wheelchair would mean the end of her sports dream. But a friend introduced her to wheelchair soccer, sparking her interest in wheelchair sports. By the time she entered college, she had become a good sport player in various wheelchair sports, including soccer, tennis, basketball, and ice hockey. When she was in college, she was noticed by a basketball coach.
Encouraged by the coach, she took part in a marathon race and managed to enter the finals, the Boston Marathon. To prepare for it, she started five months of hard training. She trained six days a week. In the gym, Driscoll lifted 200- pound weights, which were almost twice her body weight. Outdoors Driscoll often ran along the road in, her whee1chair for 40 kilometers without a break. She even trained to climb hills by having three people hold on to the back of her chair.

I'm Tina. I enjoy going to school more than staying at home. I fought with my mom last week. We haven't talked with each other for three days. I know I should talk to her and tell her what I think. But I wouldn't like to do that. I really don't know how to get on well with her. Tina |
I think the best way is to tell everything to your mom. She will understand you. You can also ask your friends for help. Try to be happy! Have fun playing games to relax yourself when you are free! Bruce |
I'm glad to hear that you enjoy your school life. I used to quarrel with my mom, too. It's a part of growing up. Keep positive and talk to me if you want. Try to make yourself happy. Joan |
I used to argue with my parents, but I would soon forget about it. It was the past, and you should think of what's happening now. Don't be upset and try to be happy! I hope you and your mom would get better. Frank |
