I am the third daughter in a family of five.I was born at Malden Hospital and was immediately sent to Floating Hospital in Boston.I had a hole in my heart and a low platelet count (血小板计数), which are common problems of people with TAR syndrome．I came home for a short stay after my birth and then went back and did not return home until just before Thanksgiving.My parents have told me that after I was born, our family doctor had a very important conversation with them.He said，“You have two choices with your daughter.One is that you do everything for her now, in the future, and after you die; the other is that you do nothing.” My parents picked the former.I do not have a great many memories of my childhood, but I do remember I spent the first ten years in and out of hospitals.I do remember I stayed in the Boston hospital until I was around 2 years old and then I went to Shriners.I guess few children can bear that.
I've grown up with great determination.I think that was a personality trait that I was born with and then my family developed that in me as I grew up.I had to deal with a lot of people making fun of me, staring at me, and pitying me.At a young age I realized that I could hide my pain with laughter.So I used that method when other children made fun of me and they stopped a lot faster than if I cried.Laughter was not the expected response so I guess they didn't feel it was fun to continue.There was emotional and physical pain.I required the aid of a walker until I was about five years old.I had about ten major operations before the age of ten.I had to relearn to walk several times.I think having TAR syndrome has made me a strong person physically and emotionally.Despite these difficulties and challenges, I have gone on to be awarded a Master's Degree and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (跆拳道), and I am now an inspirational speaker.
