Hearing the speeding cars passing us, I had to focus on the sound
of my uncle's bicycle leading the way. At thirty, with my retinas(视网
膜) dying from an eye disease, driving a car was impossible and I couldn't give up the freedom of
riding my bike.
Uncle Fred pedalled steadily. I bike d a few inches behind. He shouted directions at each in
ter section. Suddenly, his voice rose with urgency, “Carol, stop! A car is turning.”
When we reached our destination, my shoulders ached from the ride. As I s at next to Uncle
Fred, he cleared his throat and said, “Carol, did you think about getting a trained Seeing Eye
dog?It can give you independence.”He knew I was afraid of dogs. Words stuck in my throat.
But his voice cracked and planted the seed of an idea. My world shrunk as my blindness grew
worse. Luckily, I had a good sense of direction, allowing me to visualize neighborhood routes.
This skill could bean advantage when working with a dog.
After calculating, I finally called the guide dog school. The admission application arrived,
but I still was n't sure. One day, I phone d my friend Robert, a long time guide dog user in my
town. He shared his positive experiences. Somehow, his words convinced me to give it a try.
During the training, the dog trainer's coaching and each successful walk with the dogs built
my confidence. As my guide dog Misty and I bonded, my shoulders relaxed. When I returned
home, Uncle Fred was the first to meet Misty. Misty sat a t our feet waving her tail. She must
have picked upon the positive energy that circled us like a hug. Misty drove away my anxiety as
I slowly opened my heart to her. Just as Uncle Fred had predicted, overcoming my fear gave me
the opportunity for more independence. My new confidence came from using a guide dog, allowing
me to walk tall. Uncle Fred's advice moved my sense of joy from my bike to my dog.

As the first African American woman to receive a medical degree in America, Dr. Rebecca
Lee Crumpler challenged the prejudice that prevented African Americans and women from fol-
lowing medical careers.
Bornin 1831 in Christian a, Delaware, Crumpler spent her childhood in Pennsylvania with
an aunt, who frequently cared for sick neighbors, and Crumpler went with her on these trips. In
her book published in 1883, Crumpler wrote, “Having been raised by a kind aunt, whose useful-
ness to the sick was continually sought, I early developed a liking for medicine, and sought every
opportunity to be in a position to relieve the sufferings of others.”
In 1852, Crumpler moved to Charlestown, Massachusetts, to begin her medical career as a
nurse. In the early 1850s, there was no formal school where one could become licensed to prac-
tice nursing. Even so, Crumpler assisted several doctors in Boston for eight years. They in turn
supported her application to the New England Female Medical College, where she was awarded a
state-funded scholarship.
Crumpler worked hard at her studies but had to take a leave of absence after two years to at-
tend to her sick husband, who unfortunately passed away in 1863. Months later, Crumpler re
turned to complete her final term but was nearly refused after some faculty members(教员)
$$e x ^ { - }$$
pressed worry regarding the amount of time it was taking her to complete her coursework and
were hesitant to let her come back. Luckily, with several of the school's sponsors supporting
her, Crumpler finally received a“Doc tress of Medicine”from college, and began seeing patients
in and around her house, treating them regardless of their ability to pay.
In 1883, Dr. Crumpler published a book based on journal notes she kept during her years of
practice. A Book of Medical Discourses, specifically aimed at women and the care of their chil-
dren, is believed to be the first medical text written by an African American author. Scientif

Kwon was bornin 1975 in New York in a South Korean immigrant family. He had a strong
accent as a kid, so many people assumed he was a foreigner who could not speak English proper
ly. Kwon grew increasingly quiet to avoid being teased or beaten up.“But the more quiet you
are, the more you attract bullies, ”he said.Therefore, he suffered a number of social anxiety
disorders in childhood.
Unfortunately, he did not see many role models from his community. He watched a lot of
television as a way to learn English, and in the rare times when he did see Asian-Americans on

versity and a doctorate from Yale Law School. He worked in law, politics and business, then
made what some would consider a surprising shift to television.
Kwon never imagined that television was an option for someone like him, until one day, he
received an email seeking Asian-American contestants. Initially, Kwon was not interested, but
then he thought back to his hunger for positive role models as a child.He says that if he had seen
them, it might have helped him build courage and confidence.
Kwon surprised even himself by winning the show, a victory he attributes to fair play,
where Asian-Americans, African-Americans and so on will share more equal opportunities.
He says the win also brought him closer to his father, who initially discouraged Kwon from
joining Survivor.“Yul, Im sorry. Ive always viewed you as this kind of kid who's trying to
figure out what he wants to do, but didn't really have it together. And then I saw you on the
show and I was really proud of you.”
