With His Head Held High
While pregnant (怀孕) with Brian, Lorraine became sick. She had polio, a serious illness which left her unable to use her legs.
After her illness, Lorraine was afraid. She thought her polio would have bad effects on her unborn child. “So when he arrived, looking like such a perfect baby, I was the happiest mother in the world,” she said. But Lorraine soon began to worry because she saw that Brian was developing too slowly.
Growing up, Brian was very shy. It was hard for him to communicate with other people. He felt different from others, including his own brothers. Lorraine did not know what to do.
Then when he was 14, Brian became involved in Special Olympics, which is similar to the traditional Olympic Games. His first event was a swimming race. “And he got a medal,” Brian’s mum Lorraine said. “He was a winner for the first time in his life. Suddenly, Brian felt just as good as his brothers. From that moment on, he became a different person. He walked to school with his head held high. He stopped hiding and began to talk. It was amazing.”
On his eighteenth birthday, Brian won his first gold medal. People cheered. Someone began to sing “Happy Birthday” over the loudspeaker, and the crowd joined in. Lorraine Loeb stood up from her wheelchair to sing along. “It was the first time in 18 years that I stood alone,” she said. Lorraine was thankful to have a son like Brian. She was very glad that Brian took part in Special Olympics and the family was proud to watch Brian perform in the competition. “It’s taught us that it isn’t the strength (力量) of your body or mind that counts,” she said. “It’s the strength of your spirit.”
