The person I admire most is not famous at all, yet in my mind his achievements are as important as those of any historical figure. Gary is a fellow classmate of mine at college, and for him this is a major
.
We know that Gary suffers from a
, which makes it almost impossible for him to
his movements. As a result, he will
his life in a wheelchair. He cannot write with a pen or a pencil, and speaks so slowly and strangely that it takes
to understand what he is saying.
However, behind his
appearance, Gary is a warm, fun-loving, intelligent person. His disability affects his muscles, not his mind or
. He enjoys the same things as any student does—listening to music, making
and so on—and he is not only the best student in our class, but also has a
sense of humor and genuine interest in other people.
The main
why I admire him so much is that he is determined to lead a
life, in spite of his physical difficulties he has to overcome. Although his
prevents him from going to school, he gives himself an education by studying at home. Being unable to
himself, he uses a special typewriter to write letters to his friends and beautiful poems which
the true depth of his thoughts and character. Another reason why I admire Gary is that he never feels sorry for himself. He says, for instance, that being unable to move around
gives him more time to think. In fact, he always
to see the bright side of any situation, so instead of needing his friends to
him, he actually cheers us up when we are
or depressed.
I would admire Gary
he didn’t have any disability; in fact he does, and
to let it spoil his life, which makes him the most remarkable person I have known.
