What was different about your body when you were born?
你出生時身體有什麼和別人不一樣?
-
I was actually born with one finger on my left hand and a full left leg, but it was curved.
我出生時其實左手只有一隻指頭和一隻完整的左腿,但它是捲曲的。
-
I had surgery when I was 2 and a half years old to remove the part that was curved.
我在兩歲時動手術移除捲曲的部分。
-
So I had a stump that they could put a prosthetic leg on.
所以他們在我的殘肢上裝上義肢。
-
And then they took the big toe from that. And they put it on my left hand. So, I have two fingers.
然後他們從那裡拿了大拇指,接在我的左手。所以我就有兩隻手指。
-
I did tons of physical therapy to try to get my new finger to work like a real finger, and not like a toe.
我做了好多的物理治療,試著讓我新的手指能像真正的手指頭一般運作,而不是腳趾。
-
I was always trying to figure out how to bring them together and how to get them to come together and touch, and I was sitting in the shower. And they touched. And it was amazing!
我一直都在想要怎麼樣才把兩隻手指靠在一起,如何讓它們碰在一起。當時我坐在淋浴間裡,然後成功把它們碰在一起。那個感覺真的太棒了!
-
I was running around the house screaming, yay, I did it! 'Cause that was like the first milestone.
我在家裡邊叫邊跑來跑去,耶,我做到了!因為那是第一個里程碑。
-
Do you feel different than other kids?
你會感覺自己和其他小孩不一樣嗎?
-
Sometimes I do. People do stare and whisper.
有時候我會。人們會盯著我看、低聲耳語。
-
I'll be thinking, like, there's tons of kids in this world.
我就會想,世界上有這麼多小孩。
-
How did He (God) happen to choose me to be one of the kids that had to get their legs taken away?
為什麼祂(上帝)偏偏選中我當其中一個腳被拿走的孩子?
-
And I asked God like..."Can you please give me a leg? Somehow, some way."
然後我問上帝,請你給我一隻腿好嗎? 用任何形式、方法都行。
-
But then I have to think, I was born like this. I can't change it.
但後來我想,我生而如此,我無法改變它。
-
And when I play sports, I don't feel different.
而且當我做運動時,我沒有感覺我跟別人不同。
-
I don't think about anything else. I just think about what's happening in the game.
我不會想任何其他的事。我只會想在比賽中發生什麼事。
-
Would you say sports have become a ritual for you?
你認為運動是你例行要做的事嗎?
-
Yes. Because I feel like if I don't play sports every day, I feel weird.
是的。因為我覺得如果我沒有每天做運動,我會覺得很怪。
-
I've always felt like sports is where I can go when I'm sad or lonely or anything.
我一直認為運動是當我傷心、孤單或任何時候都可以做的事情。
-
I love competition. I love the feeling. I love being under pressure and everything.
我喜歡競爭。我喜歡這種感覺。我喜歡身處在壓力中和它的一切。
-
When I'm playing sports, I go from thinking about all the other things to game mode.
當我運動時,我會轉換思緒,從思考其他事情轉換到比賽的狀態。
-
When I'm in the zone, I feel like I have this like fire around me.
當我進入那個狀態後,我感覺周遭有一股氣焰。
-
And then the flames pop up and have the circle around it.
接著火焰冒出,在周圍形成一個圈。
-
So, any thoughts that try to come in, and they get burned by the fire. And they don't let in.
所以有任何想法想要進入時,它們就被火燒掉。然後它們就不會進來。
-
Do you feel you have to work harder than other kids?
你覺得你需要比別的小孩更努力嗎?
-
Oh, yes. I bet kids, when they take a step, oh, I took a step big deal.
噢,是的。我敢打賭其他孩子們踏出一步時是想著:噢,我跨出了一大步。
-
For me, when I take a step, I say, oh, no big deal. But I thought about every little bit.
對我來說,當我踏出一步時我會說:噢,沒什麼大不了的。但我認真感受每一步。
-
I put so much pressure on my body from being in a prosthetic all day.
我給我的身體很多的壓力,因為使用了義肢一整天。
-
I come home. And I'm like dying from back pain. And I have to stretch before I go to bed every night.
我回到家,我背痛死了。我每天睡前都要伸展。

So how do you stay positive?

There's lots of challenges in people's life, and that's a little wall right there.
人生中會有很多的挑戰,而那就是道小小的牆罷了。
-
So I try to break down that wall. If I'm just running around like playing soccer or shooting a lay-up, I don't think about it.
所以我會試著打破那道牆。如果我跑來跑去踢足球、帶球上籃,我就不會去想它。
-
I don't feel different when I'm playing sports because that takes me away from my disability.
我在運動的時候不覺得自己有什麼不同,因為它讓我忽略我的缺陷。
-
But it's a good thing that I'm born like this. I've learned to be confident in myself. I've learned how to be strong.
但天生這樣對我來講是件好事。我學會了如何對自己有自信。我學會如何堅強。
