I lost most of my right （2） ， and I was left bleeding with several broken bones． At the hospital， my body was （3） ， but my mind was still very clear． I just kept （4） myself to hold on． Life must go on since I was still （5） ．
Two weeks later， I was allowed to go home． （6） I left the hospital， the fight was far from over． My left leg was badly hurt in that accident as well， as a result， I had to receive different （7） during the next few years． And soon， more of my right leg had to be cut off． This made it harder to wear my artificial leg （假肢） ， so I donated it to another girl who couldn't （8） one． The joy of being able to provide this gift for someone else was （9） than the happiness I felt on any day I could wear it myself．
People often tell me they are （10） of me for staying strong． But in my mind， being strong has always been my only （11） ． On the day I left the hospital， I made a promise to （12） to make good use of every day to live life to the fullest． I am not only confident but I hope to help those around me． In 2017， I （13） started modeling． My dream is that one day a little girl will see me in a magazine and say， "Wow， she only has one leg but she is beautiful （14） confidence and bravery"
My dream is simple： to （15） every man， woman and child to know and believe that they are．
