| Taylor Bernard and her twin sister were born 12 weeks early. As a result, Taylor suffers from cerebral palsy (CP). It is a condition that affects the brain. Kids who are born with CP have trouble controlling the muscles in their body. Taylor is 8 years old now. She uses a powerwheelchair to get around. Her twin sister Sydney participates in sports, but Taylor has a different interest: art. Taylor submitted(提交) a watercolor painting of a sunset in Chesapeake Bay, Virginia, to an art contest. Of the more than 5,500 students who took park in the contest, only 51 were selected. Taylor was one of them. Her winning painting is now being displayed in Union Station, in Washington, D. C. After leaving Union Station, the exhibit will tour the country. The contest was sponsored by VSA, the international organization on arts and disability. The nonprofit group was started to give people with disabilities an opportunity to participate in the arts. Submissions for the contest came from students with and without disabilities. The exhibition is part of VSA"s International Arts Festival and was also sponsored by CVS Caremark"s All Kids Can program. Art Changed Her Life Amanda LaMunyon represented Oklahoma in the exhibition. She just finished her freshman year of high school. When Amanda was in elementary school, she had problems focusing and following rules. She has Asperger Syndrome, which is a form of autism. "People started looking at her differently," her mother, Sherry LaMunyon, said. "They stopped looking at her as a girl who was struggling and started looking at her as an artist. It"s changed her whole life." The president of VSA, Soula Antoniou, said that the point of the exhibition is to focus on students" abilities, rather than their disabilities. "What we"re trying to do is make sure each student finds something they"re good at," she said. That"s exactly what Taylor"s done. While she has some difficulty with fine motor skills, she"s found that she"s talented with wide brush strokes(笔画) in painting. Inspiring Others Before finding painting, Amanda said she had trouble fitting in. "I didn"t have anything that I felt was my talent," she said. Now she"s more focused on school and is interested in studying fashion design and theater. Amanda hopes that the exhibition will show others that even if they have disabilities, they have abilities they don"t even know yet.

| Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett"s jeans and shirt full of burn holes. Tired and defeated, I 1 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 2 .He often got almost everything in the house out of 3 . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 4 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 5 Brett had done to our once quiet home. Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as 6 as possible, but inside I was shouting,"I don"t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can"t 7 him!" Having wiped my tears, I continued 8 him as before. When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall (少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 9 teens. At the 10 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 11 the most to him or her. Brett spoke 12 to his parents and then spoke to me, "You did so much. You were always there, no matter 13 . My mom and dad, I am their kid. But you, 14 troubled enough by me, always 15 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.” 16 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 17 . At that moment, tears 18 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 19 . Although I had struggled with silent 20 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them. | ||||||||||||||
