But in reality, I don't know why I was really surprised by this story, because when I was five years old, and my mother, like mothers and fathers all across the United States, was taking me to school to enroll, she pushed my wheelchair to the school in walking distance to our house, pulled the wheelchair up the steps into the school, and we were greeted by the principal.
근데 왜 제가 이 이야기에 그렇게 놀랐는지는 모르겠어요. 왜냐하면 제가 다섯 살 때 미국의 여느 부모님들과 마찬가지로 저희 부모님도 저를 학교에 입학시키려고 데리고 다니셨거든요. 어머니께서 제 휠체어를 집 근처 학교까지 밀어주셨고 학교 계단 위로  휠체어를 끌고 올라가서 교장선생님을 뵙곤 했어요.
