A car accident changed my life when I was a junior high school student. At a crossroad, the car run a red light rushing for the sake of saving a few seconds. While I was walking across the road, the car ran in flashing speed and hit right at me and knocked me down. I stroked my right leg but I couldn’t feel it. I was numb.
Soon afterwards, I was admitted to a hospital. I managed to keep my right leg under doctor’s care. But it was a severe fracture and hard to recover. I was disheartened when I imagined I would have to rely on crutches and wheelchairs for the rest of my life. I gave up the idea of going to school and would let myself sink low all the way. Then I saw him when I went to school to say goodbye for the last time. We shared the same fate though we didn’t know each other. He was also one of the victims in that car accident. The difference between us was that he was strong and brave, but I wanted to escape.
He played and had fun with his classmates. In PE classes, I saw from his eyes that he was longing for running which deeply impressed me. I wanted to change myself and I went out of my home, I tried to walk without crutches. I felt sad then, but I felt relieved when I recovered gradually. I went back to school last year. My life in the school was not convenient at the beginning, but I was full of confidence as soon as I thought about him.
Now I can walk without crutches and wheelchairs gradually when I am in my second year in high school this year. Since last month, I have been able to walk with my two legs. I am satisfied even though I can’t walk fast. I’ll keep on walking as along as I remember how tough and brave he is.

初中那年的那场车祸，改变了我的一生。在一个十字路口，一位司机因为争夺几秒钟的时间而闯红灯。而我正在过马路，那辆车便飞快地撞向我，我应声倒地。我捂着被撞的右腿，失去了知觉，感觉不到它的存在。不久我被送进了医院，经过医生的治疗，我的右腿总算保住了。但那是严重的骨折，很难恢复。我一度心灰意冷，想着只能靠拐杖和轮椅度过下半生。我也放弃了继续上学的念头，只想这么一直堕落下去。在我最后一次进入学校做告别的时候，我看到了他。我们本是陌生人，但他却拥有和我一样的命运。他也是那场车祸的受害者。不同的是，我在他脸上看到的只有坚强，勇敢。而我却是逃避。看到他和同学打打闹闹，在体育课上，那期盼奔跑的眼神，一只深刻在我的脑海中。我想改变自己，我渐渐开始踏出家门，并尝试着放弃拄拐。虽然在这过程中，我感到十分痛苦，但一点点的恢复让我感到更加欣慰。去年我重新踏进高中学校的大门。虽然刚开始生活学习都极其不方便，但我一想到他，便充满信心。今年，我上了高二，我渐渐也脱离了轮椅和拄拐。直到上个月，我已经可以渐渐地双脚走路了。即使没有完全恢复，也只能慢慢地走路，但我已经心满意足了。我只要记得他的坚强，勇敢，我便会一直坚持下去。
