Dreams Never Die

In the beginning, all people are born with their natural gift, but to achieve their own gift, they have to face and deal with their own obstacles. They must find their talent which is the best one to overcome their obstacles or in the other words we can say it “The Solution”. For example, Frank McCourt and Diane Schuur, they have so many obstacles ,  and maybe it worse than us. But, how can they overcome it ?  This is the story.

Firstly,Frank McCourt was born in Brooklyn, New York. In 1930, Frank’s Childhood was filled wish misery, he lived in poverty and hopelessness. That's why frank didn’t have high education.

In 1970, he taught at Seward Park High School. On his first class, his student wanted to know Frank’s past life, he was ashamed to told about it, but his student asked him some questions over and over again.then slowly he began to tell the truth of his past life. One of the student told him to write a book because they were interested about Frank’s childhood, and maybe everyone would interested too.

He realized that his honesty was helping forge a link with kids who normally regarded teachers as adversaries. At the same time, the more he talked about his past, the better he understood how it affected him. Everyone had a story to tell and he urged, “find your own voice and dance your own dance”!.

Frank developed his storytelling talent and he became a good writer, his book which is the popular was Angela Ashes and had received America’s most coveted literary award: the Pulitzer Prize.

Secondly,Diane Schuur was born blind. She was sent to a state school for the blind, but she flunked first grade because Braille just didn’t make any sense for her. She was impatient and hungry for words, and her teacher’s scribbling on her hand would never be as fast, she thought,as the people who could read the words with their eyes.

She was inspired by Hellen Keller because, despite being blind and deaf, she could proved how language could liberate the blind and the deaf. And she could be success woman and she could overcame her disability.

She never gave up with some difficult exercises that she had to overcame her obstacles. Her main message was and is, “We are like everybody else. We’re here to be able to live a life as full as any sighted person’s. And it’s OK to be ourselves.In other words that means disability people have the freedom to be as extraordinary as the normal people”.
