         , where applicants took their physical tests for work permits． Although I had night blindness, my vision was clearer during the day, which helped me walk        by myself． Then the doctor began the          ．He looked into my eyes with a bright light．“I        your parents take you to an eye specialist,”he said,“I suspect you have a retinal(视网膜) disease．If you do, you’ll never        a day in your life…”
My parents did take me to specialists．After much time and money spent seeking an         result, it was determined that I had an eye disease that slowly        a person of sight．But still, during daylight, I could walk without          ．I could read, but not for hours．My eyes began to
         and words slipped off the page when I read more than a few pages．However, no matter how tired my eyes became, I never gave up reading．I knew the         of great writers as well as I knew the most popular music stars．Their words were powerful, which         me to try writing．Soon writing brought me a lot of         each time I completed a paper．
