My birth was a little more dramatic than the standard way a baby enters the world. Within minutes of coming out, doctors gave my parents the difficult news: I was born missing my left hand.
Indeed, that announcement of my limb difference might have been a disaster if it hadn’t been for what happened next. I’m told that a nurse placed me m my mother’s arms and instructed: “You will take her home. You will love her. you will raise her like you would any child. You will treat her as normal”
My parents took that instruction seriously, I played sport, acted in theatre, excelled in school, participated in student government and had playdates. while I did set some stares and ‘polite’ questions about my disability, I am lucky because I wasn’t made fun of for my limb difference.
As kids do, I learned to adapt. One of earliest memories is my father trying to teach me to tie my shoes. I gently pushed him out of the way because his two=handed method wouldn’t work for me, and I figured out a way to do it with one hand. Not every challenge was that simple, however. Because my parents were trying so hard to make me feel ‘normal’, that also meant I didn’t really have space to talk about my limb difference ― and it was different. No matter how hard we tried, other kids had two hands and I had only one.
The fact that I was different hit me hard my first day of high school. I was 13, an age when kids are already very self-conscious. I remember getting on the bus and one of the other kids stared just a little too long at my left arm. The staring upset me in a way it never had before, and I felt a sudden urge to hide my hand, so I immediately slipped it into my pocket.

文章大意
“我” 出生时就缺少左手,医生告知父母这一情况后,护士让父母像对待正常孩子一样养育 “我”。父母认真践行,“我” 在成长过程中参与各种活动,虽因残疾引来一些异样目光和礼貌询问,但未被嘲笑,还学会了用单手解决问题,如系鞋带。然而,父母努力让 “我” 感觉正常,却使 “我” 没有空间谈论肢体差异。上高中第一天,一个孩子的长时间凝视让 “我” 深受打击,产生了隐藏手的强烈冲动。
故事山分析
目标:在成长过程中,主角努力适应肢体差异,寻求内心的平静与自我认同。
阻碍:肢体残疾带来的生活不便,他人异样的目光和因父母过度强调正常而缺乏表达内心感受的空间。
努力:学会用单手完成各种事情,如系鞋带,在学习和活动中积极表现。
结果:在一定程度上融入了正常生活,但内心对肢体差异仍有困扰。
意外:高中第一天被同学长时间凝视,引发了强烈的自我隐藏欲望。
转弯:从努力适应肢体差异,积极面对生活,转变为隐藏自己的肢体差异,试图避免他人目光。
结局:目前未知,续写可能围绕主角如何从隐藏肢体差异到重新接纳自我展开。
伏笔以及在续写中的回应
护士的叮嘱 “像对待正常孩子一样养育”:父母认真执行,导致 “我” 缺乏表达肢体差异感受的空间。在续写中,这可能成为主角重新接纳自我的阻碍,需要突破这种过度强调正常的观念。
“我” 学会用单手系鞋带:体现 “我” 的适应能力。在续写中,可能会在主角重新接纳自我时,成为自我肯定的依据,意识到自己有能力克服困难。
“我” 虽有异样目光和询问,但未被嘲笑:暗示 “我” 内心对他人看法的在意。在续写中,当主角重新面对自己的肢体差异时,他人的态度可能会发生变化,不再是异样目光,而是理解和尊重,帮助主角接纳自我。
父母努力让 “我” 感觉正常,使 “我” 没空间谈论肢体差异:为后续隐藏肢体差异埋下伏笔。续写时,主角可能会在某个契机下,勇敢地打破这种沉默,表达自己多年来的感受。
高中第一天被同学凝视后想要隐藏手:是故事的转折点。在续写中,这一行为可能会成为主角内心转变的起点,促使主角开始思考如何真正面对自己的肢体差异。
续写要点(两段)
第一段:“I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times.” 重点描述隐藏肢体差异的具体行为和内心感受,如在各种场合的小心翼翼,害怕被人发现后的自卑与不安。还可以提及这种隐藏对生活和人际关系的影响,比如不敢参加某些活动,与他人交流时总是有所保留。
第二段:“The journey of hiding to unhiding is hard, but the efforts were rewarding.” 着重讲述从隐藏到接纳自我的转变过程,可能是因为某个人的鼓励、一次特殊的经历等。描述转变过程中的内心挣扎,以及最终接纳自我后的感受,如获得了内心的平静、更加自信,人际关系也变得更加真实。
情感线

主旨升华句
Our differences, no matter how obvious, are not what define us; it is our courage to face them and embrace our true selves that truly matters.
Through the journey of self - acceptance, we learn that the strength to overcome our insecurities lies within us, waiting to be discovered.
This story serves as a powerful reminder that hiding our uniqueness only holds us back, while embracing it opens the door to a life of authenticity and fulfillment.
In the end, we realize that the most profound transformation comes not from changing our circumstances, but from changing our perspective on our differences.
By unhiding our true selves, we not only free ourselves from the burden of self - concealment but also inspire others to do the same, creating a world where differences are celebrated.
写作示范
示范一
第一段:I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. In every social gathering, I was extremely cautious. When shaking hands, I would always use my right hand and hope no one would notice my left arm. During sports activities, I chose ones that didn't require two hands to avoid attention. In relationships, I was always afraid to get too close, fearing that my secret would be exposed. This constant hiding made me exhausted both physically and mentally, but I couldn't find the courage to show my true self.
第二段:The journey of hiding to unhiding is hard, but the efforts were rewarding. One day, I met a disabled artist who inspired me with his story. He encouraged me to embrace my uniqueness. After much inner struggle, I decided to participate in a disability - awareness event. Standing on the stage, I finally showed my left arm to the world. At that moment, a weight was lifted off my shoulders. People's warm applause and understanding eyes made me realize that I was not alone. From then on, I became more confident and my relationships became deeper and more genuine.
示范二
第一段:I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. In the office, I would always cover my left arm with a long - sleeved shirt, even in hot summer. When taking notes in meetings, I would try to use my right hand as naturally as possible, afraid that my colleagues would notice my difference. Dating was also a nightmare. I always worried that my partner would be put off by my limb difference. This self - imposed isolation made me feel more and more lonely, but I was too scared to break free.
第二段:The journey of hiding to unhiding is hard, but the efforts were rewarding. A chance encounter with a support group for the disabled changed everything. Listening to others' stories, I realized that my difference was not a curse. With their encouragement, I started to show my left arm in public gradually. It was a painful process, filled with self - doubt. However, as I opened up, I found that people were more accepting than I thought. I finally learned to love myself for who I am, and life became more colorful than ever before.
