When I first started school, because I looked different from others, it was difficult to get on with everyone. My classmates said that I was a monster and would isolate me and even hit me. I remember one time that I was pushed down the stairs! It was a really difficult childhood and I was swallowed up by an endless inferiority complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\"><strong>Using physical strength to learn is more valuable than using it to walk!<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was 14 years old, my body deteriorated rapidly, and my hands and feet gradually shrank. I would often fall when I walked. After I fell, I didn\u2019t have the strength to stand back up on my own. I needed help from others. Everyday I had to climb up 4 flights of stairs to my classes because there were no elevators. That year was the most broken and painful year of my life. Later, in order to conserve my energy for learning, I started to use an electric wheelchair to travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 90%;\"><strong>The only thing that can change is myself<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 100%;\">Not until I entered high school did I think that instead of expecting others to learn to empathize with me, I might as well start by changing myself. I started to learn to talk with others; I would be brave to speak out when I needed help. Unexpectedly these actions made my school life change for the better. Teachers and classmates were able to empathize and help me because they understood my illness and condition.<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-146043475 {\n  font-size: 1rem;\n}\n@media (min-width:550px) {\n  #text-146043475 {\n    font-size: 0.75rem;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-247773241\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-521709547\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_752077337\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"367\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sharry-2-1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sharry-2-1.png 367w, https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sharry-2-1-294x300.png 294w, https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sharry-2-1-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/www.karmamedical.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sharry-2-1-300x307.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_752077337 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-736862531\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:0px;height:28px;\"><\/div>\n\t<div id=\"text-1937012774\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know that I am not perfect, but I have always liked taking pictures since I was a child.
