[2020·ÑĮ̀Êи߿¼Õï¶ÏÐÔ²âÊÔ]My twin sister, Dawn, born with cerebral palsy (ÄÔ̱), has to wear braces (±³´ø) 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__£º 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, 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.
