Bad luck is no stranger to this 44-year-old man. His mother died of cancer, and his weak father had to411-year-old David to the5of the state.

But David does not feel sorry for himself. “These are just little obstacles(障碍困难) you have to8in your life,” he said.
He has to make a daily two-hour trip to his working place—the X-ray department of an9room. It was a hard job to10by. Before he got it, David was determined to escape the workshop run by the Lighthouse, an organization11to helping blind people. He wanted a job of developing X-ray film, a job 12everyone, not just he, must work in the dark, including those with 13eyesight. The Lighthouse called many hospitals, with no result, 14they offered to pay his first three months’ salary.
David works alone in a dark room that15of chemicals. He doesn’t wear gloves. Otherwise, he could not feel.16this is an emergency room, lives can be put either17or out of danger. His director says he trusts him 100 percent.
He makes $20,000 a year. But his motivation goes 18money. “By working I can realize my own19. That’s what really counts!” he said.
