To be one’s best

This morning, I took No 2 bus to the Kaiser Permanente Travle Medicine Clinic, lots people in it, and some hadn’t a seat, standing and waiting to their destination. Stopping at a stop, the bus kept stillness for a while and the driver got off. I puzzled what had happened, as soon as I saw the driver let the bus’s stair low down and slowly push a handicap, sitting in a wheelchair, to get on the bus, I understood and moved. The driver laid him at one side of the bus and bounded one of the wheelchair’s leg to a pipe of the bus by a rope, in case sliding while the bus turn off.

It’s a very common thing in American’s life, while in China, the bus hasn’t a folding stair, and perhaps there is no enough room for a wheelchair. The result is that the handicaps can not go out by themselves. It’s difficult for them to go to school or find a job, and they can only become a burden to their relatives. A little of them earn living by doing business. On the other hand, the handicaps in America can do what they want by the help of the society.

Who is to say that the handicaps can’t to become Stephen William Hawking? Just as

John’s opinion, the fifth freedom is to be one’s best, whoever he is. I don’t know how many years later, the handicaps in China can do what they want and to be their best, and I don’t know how will American do when they have five times people, and has no enough source.

Maybe the hypothesis isn’t important, improving is better.
