on her career path.
Though the accident brought her bright career to a , she didn’t give up. In the months that followed, Sudha met a doctor who developed a man-made rubber filled with sponge (海绵). So she wanted to go back to dance after she had been fitted with her new leg. Sudha knew that she believed in herself and could realize her dream, so she began her courageous journey back to the world of dancing --- to walk, turn, jump, balance, bend, stretch, twist, twirl...
After every recital (music, dance given by one person) she would ask her dad about her performance. “You have a long way to go” was the answer she used to get in return. In January 1984, Sudha made a historic by giving a public recital in Bombay. She performed in such a great success that it moved everyone to tears and this pushed her to the highest position again. That evening when she asked her dad the question, he didn’t say anything. He just touched her feet as praise.
Sudha’s comeback was so moving that a film producer to make the story into a hit film.
When someone asked Sudha how she had managed to dance again, she said quite simply, “You don’t need feet to dance. is impossible in this world. If you have the will to win, you can achieve anything.” (266)

The greatest feeling in the world comes not from receiving presents, or even getting an A on the math test you studied so hard for. Rather, it when you hand a cup of hot coffee to that older man sitting on the side of the street asking for money. You feel it when you drive an hour and a half to a to meet children with cancer. And you feel it when you sit down with your friend to comfort her her mother died. Helping others can be the greatest feeling in the world, and I this just one year ago.
My friend asked me to attend a Youth Group meeting at his church. After an hour of listening to them their opinions, I was invited to go with them to help the homeless.
Early that Saturday morning, a team of 15 teenagers began making sandwiches and counting bags of candy. For the first time in my life I realized that we, the teens of America, can make a . Since it was my first time, and I wasn’t part of the group, I felt a little out of place. But watching the others the food drove my nervousness away.
Before long, all 150 bagged lunches were gone and the group was its way home. I realized that not only is my friend an amazing person, but that all of those people are amazing. That’s what made me join the Youth Group.
I work at a coffee shop but don’t make much. It’s not the best job, but there are times when it’s worth it. For example, a few weeks ago, when the store was and I was bored, looking out of the window, I noticed an old man sitting outside. He had been there before. As a matter of fact, he came in to buy anything because he didn’t have any money. I took up a cup of coffee, walked outside, and handed it to him. The smile on his face made my day, and as I walked back into the store, I put my own money into the drawer. Then I knew how the members of the Youth Group feel every time they help someone. Knowing that you can help
is – the greatest feeling in the world.
