One morning, when I was 16, my father told me I could drive him to a remote village named Mijas, about 18 miles away, 36 that I take the car in to be serviced at a nearby 37. Having just learned to drive, and hardly ever having the 38 to use the car, I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas and 39 to pick him up at 4 P. M. ,then drove to a nearby garage and the car 40 in it. Because I had a few hours to 41, I decided to see a movie at a theater nearby. However, I was so 42 in the movie that I didn’t take any 43 of time. When the film was over, it was already 6 o’clock.

　 I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I had been watching movies, and not let me drive again. A good idea 44 me. I drove up to Mijas until I saw Dad waiting 45 on the corner, I explained to him that it was because the car had needed some major repairs that I was 46 . I will never forget the look he gave me.

“I’m so disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me. Jason. When you did not 47 , I called the garage to ask if there were any problems , and they told me that you hadn’t 48 the car.

I can see a feeling of sadness 49 him.

“I’m angry, not with you but with myself. Now I am 50 that I have failed as a father. I am going to walk home now and contemplate 51 I have done all these years.”

“But Dad, it is 18 miles to home. It’s dark. You can’t walk home.”

My 52 , my apologies and the rest of my utterances were of no use .Dad walked along the dusty roads silently in the dark, 53 thought. I pleaded all the way , telling him how sorry I was, but he simply 54 to pay any attention . Seeing my father in so much pain was the most painful experience that I have ever faced, 55 it was also the most successful lesson.

When I became an amputee at age 29, I was forced to rethink the idea of physical perfection. My life became different, as I changed from an acceptably attractive woman to an object of pity and __50__.

Too busy __51__ physical pain and obvious mobility limitation, I was not aware of this change at first. I was determined to __52__, feeling good about the progress I had made, as I moved forward.

__53__, as I made my first excursion outside the hospital, society had already assigned me a new status. Happy to be free of my restriction in the hospital, I rolled through the shopping mall – a __54__ survivor, feeling like a war hero. Unfortunately, I had a rude __55__ as I discovered that others did not view me in the way I had come to view myself.

All eyes were upon me, yet no one dared to make eye contact. Their efforts to __56__ my eyes forced me to realize they saw only my missing legs. Mothers __57__ held their children closer as I passed. Elderly women patted me on the head saying, “God Bless You!” with __58__ in their eyes.

While I sat thinking about what had happened, a small girl came up to me. She stared with unembarrassed __59__ at the empty pants. Finding nothing there, she looked up at me with a puzzled look, she innocently asked, “Lady, where did your legs go?”

I explained that my legs had been sick. Since my legs hadn’t been strong and healthy like hers, the doctors had to __60__ them. Leaning her head upwards, she asked, “Did they go to ‘Leg Heaven’?”

That incident made me think about how __61__ children and adults react to the unknown. To a child, an odd appearance is an interesting curiosity and a __62__ learning experience while adults often view the same thing with fear and horror. I began to realize that, I, too had been __63__ of the same inappropriate reactions before I knew what life was like for an amputee.

To fulfill the wholeness of my mind and spirit, I now smile warmly, make eye contact, and speak in a confident manner. By using a __64__ approach, I attempt to enlighten society about the fact that having a not-so-perfect body doesn’t mean having a poor quality of life.
