35、World.For most young kids，its a normal request，but I had cerebral palsy(脑瘫).Walking into anywhere，let alone a crowded place like Disney World was，to put it lightly，a tall order.Luckily，I had people in my corner to help me.Over the next three years，I worked with physical doctors，acquired a walker，and

36、 practiced walking，standing，and balanceall skills that I would need to turn my goal into a reality.I remember the feeling when my legs would protest doing any more work.Despite this，everyone else told me I could do it，so I kept it up.It was all because of people like my parents，brothers，teachers，and
