I recently read an
article about a chinese man named Wei that stands 122 centimeters which is legally considered dwarfism. As he grew up he realized he was different from all the others but that didn't stop him from achieving his goals. He overcame his size and got an education, and even a job. This story of Wei reminds me of the story of Dominique Bauby and how he overcame his locked-in-syndrome. Bauby may not have been able to move or function correctly society but he overcame this obstacle and wrote a book by blinking the letter he wanted. This very popular book is called,
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. Through therapy Bauby even began to move his lips and grunt noises. These amazing stories show that anyone can overcome any obstacle that stands in their way.
