High school inspirational

Push yourself to the limit and do your best


The Manhattan Sports Center in the United States launched a juvenile wrestling match. When the 11-year-old Dayton Weber came to power, the scene suddenly sounded with applause. Many viewers even cheered for him with tears. All this is because he is a Children without hands and feet.

Dayton is from Lower Manhattan. At 11 months of age, Dayton launched a sustained high fever and the body became particularly swollen. Dayton’s parents can only send him to the clinic. After examination, the doctor discovered that Dayton was born without spleen. Dayton spent four months there, but still didn't get better.

Dayton’s high fever is always alive and can leave the world at any time. In desperation, the doctors decided to remove some of the limbs of Dayton's knees and lower arms, in order to save Dayton's life. Dayton, who lost his hands and feet, grew up day by day. When the wound healed, he began to crawl on the floor with the half of his hands and feet. Although he often had a bruised face, his strength seemed to be born. Don't cry or make trouble. When I was a little older, my mother suddenly realized that Dayton actually stood up with her own half leg and walked a few steps.

His mother was very excited. In order to avoid the wear and tear of the kerk skin, the mother used a rubber skin to give him a special pair of "shoes". After wearing "shoes", Dayton’s action was more convenient. He started skateboarding. I started playing high jump and even let my mother buy him a football and learn to play on the lawn at the door. Gradually, Dayton felt that he didn't need to have the same hands and feet as a normal person, and he had to prove to everyone that he could do something that people thought he could not do.

When he was 8 years old, when Dayton saw the wrestling match on TV, he told his parents that he also wanted to learn to wrestle. Dayton’s parents were shocked and persuaded him to say, “Children, you don’t have a complete set of hands and feet. You can't learn to wrestle at all, you still choose another interesting thing to do."

Dayton said: "I don't have complete hands and feet. Since this is a fact, then I want to tell you now that I can learn to wrestle even without complete hands and feet!"

Dayton’s words finally touched the parents, who sent Dayton to the “Frenzy Wrestling” club. After entering the club, Dayton first tried hard to improve his physical fitness. The most difficult thing was the subsequent wrestling practice. He was often bruised by his teammates, and even the coach felt that the wrestling was really not suitable for him, and he was advised to go home. But Dayton firmly said to the coach: "I don't give up, I think I can learn. I don't have hands and feet, I don't need hands and feet."

With this strong belief, the coach was finally moved. He deliberately designed some targeted wrestling skills to pass to Dayton. Dayton’s wrestling performance also improved quickly. After 3 years, he could even Many teammates have competed.

In this juvenile wrestling match, because Dayton has no hands and feet, he can't complete some basic actions of wrestling. In order to be fair, every opponent who has won with Dayton is not allowed to use these actions, but even so Dayton was still losing to his 12-year-old opponent Scott at the crucial moment. He only won the 6th "Encouragement Award", but Dayton is still very happy. He told the coach and his parents: "Learn wrestling I have become more flexible."

When the award was received, even the opponent's mother cried and said to Dayton's coach: "This is really not a good game. We all will meet the challenge, but Dayton obviously has to bear more, his The ranking is not the best, but he is the pride of your entire club."

Yes, Dayton is something to be proud of. His most moving place is not his achievements, but the spirit of "I don't have, but I don't need it": If "I don't have" means frustration and Give up, then "I don't need" is positive and strong.
