It was “Disabilities Day at the Capitol ” and I was there, along with hundreds of Georgians, hoping to get the attention of our legislators (立法者). My thoughts ran back to the days when I was struggling to deal with my hearing loss learning, often dependent on others to help me hear. Now I stood under the gold dome of the Georgia Capitol, a member of the disabled community claiming the rights of people with disabilities.
After the rally (集会) I followed the crowd across the street to a free lunch. Although the crowd was huge, I managed to find a place to sit. I introduced myself to the young woman on my right, Kendall. However, with my hearing loss and her serious speech disorder, a conversation with her was next to impossible.
After a few moments, I realized that Kendall’s personal attendant (护工) was not present. I asked if anyone knew where she was and found out there had been a family situation and the attendant had to leave. “But,” I said, “who’s going to feed Kendall?” My thoughts were racing: someone had to help Kendall. In admitting her need I had to at once declare my responsibility to help.
Surprisingly, Kendall spoke clearly with her eyes. It was those eyes that spoke to me that day as we were waiting for lunch. I asked if I might serve her lunch. She nodded “Yes! ” and her eyes said “Thank you!”
Helping Kendall that day shows an important belief of my life: We need each other. With or without a disability, it is our need for each other that makes us have a good life.
那天是“国会大厦残障日”,我和数百名乔治亚人都在那里,希望能引起国会议员的注意(立法者)。我的思绪回到了那些日子,那时我正在努力应对我的听力损失学习,经常依靠别人来帮助我听到。现在我站在乔治亚州国会大厦的金色穹顶下,作为残疾人团体的一员,为残疾人争取权利。
集会结束后(集会),我跟着人群穿过街道去吃免费午餐。虽然人很多,我还是设法找了个地方坐下。我向我右边的年轻女子肯德尔作了自我介绍。然而,由于我的听力损失和她严重的语言障碍,与她交谈几乎是不可能的。
过了一会儿,我意识到肯德尔的私人随从(护工)不在。我问有没有人知道她在哪里,结果发现家里出了状况,服务员不得不离开。“但是,”我说,“谁来喂养肯德尔呢?”我的思绪在飞速旋转:必须有人来帮助肯德尔。在承认她的需要时,我必须立即宣布我有责任提供帮助。
令人惊讶的是,肯德尔的眼神表达得很清楚。那天等午饭的时候,正是那双眼睛在对我说话。我问她是否可以请她吃午饭。她点了点头:“是的!她的眼睛在说:“谢谢你!”
那天帮助肯德尔表明了我生命中一个重要的信念:我们彼此需要。不管有没有残疾,都是我们对彼此的需要让我们拥有美好的生活。
