(2020·煙臺(tái)第一次診斷)My twin sister, Dawn, born with cerebral palsy (腦癱) , has to wear braces (背帶) on her legs and walk with the help of a stick, often causing people to 1 and point．
As Dawn was the only “different” child in our neighborhood, we were constantly picked on． We never had any friends because of her condition． I began to 2 Dawn and was embarrassed to be seen with her． So I did everything to get her into trouble to 3 her being born mentally and physically disabled．
When I turned twelve, my mother was so displeased with my behavior． She figured I was 4 enough to know better． One day she threw me in my bedroom and gave me a thick yellow book． What I saw in that book 5 the way I viewed my disabled sister．
There were many baby 6 of Dawn and me dressed alike, the only 7 ： I looked small and peaceful while Dawn was hooked up to tubes and needles and machines． If you looked closely, you could see the 8 in her eyes though she was always smiling． One picture stood out: we were 9 each other． The words below read, “I'm so happy to have a twin sister, Netti． The doctors make me cry． She makes me 10 ．” Looking back, I realized how 11 I had been! I had never put myself in Dawn's shoes! Feeling 12 ， I cried myself to sleep．
Later, when Dawn came to wake me up for dinner, I kissed her and hugged her 13 like in the picture．
From then on, I was Dawn's 14 ． No one was going to hurt her for any reason． We are 15 ． I am the other half of her and she is my world．
