The
trip of Lifetime
This summer
holiday, my friend Irvin and I wanted to do something different. Instead of
wasting our time staying at home watching TV and playing computer games as
usual, we decided to go camping.
After getting
permission from our parents, we began planning our trip. We made a list of all
the food and supplies we would need and spent an entire afternoon searching for
the best place to buy our camping equipment. In the end, our tent, our tent,
stove and sleeping bags cost a lot of money, but it was worth it.
When the day
finally arrived, my Uncle Bob was kind enough to drive us to the campsite after
he got off his work. We knew it would take us a couple of hours to get there
and Irvin and I grew more and more excited as we got closer to where we were going.
It was dark by the time we arrived, but we didn’t care. We waved happily at
Uncle Bob as he drove away. Then, after a bit of trouble and a lot of laughter,
Irvin and I set up the tent and lit the cooking stove. As we sat having our
first meal at the camp –tinned spaghetti –we both agreed it was the best food
we had ever eaten. A short time later, warm and comfortable in our sleeping
bags, we quickly fell asleep and dreamed about what our great adventure would
bring.

Alexander Vereinov
History
has proven time and time again that there are people who can rise above
difficulties and face great challenges in a way that is inspiring to all. Many
people with serious disabilities often manage to not only look past their
condition, but even go on to achieve greatness. Two shining examples of this
are Ludwig van Beethoven and Helen Keller.
Another
brilliant case is that of Alexander Vereinov, a famous Russian artist. Born in
1956, Vereinov suffers from cerebral palsy, a condition which seriously affects
body and muscle movement. His first attempts at painting began at a special
hospital for children suffering from cerebral palsy, where he spent his
childhood. Since he had no control of his hands, Verienov used his mouth to
hold his pain brushes. The problem was that the people at the hospital were
afraid he would hurt himself, so he wasn’t allowed to paint; which is why he
did all his work of art at night, in a secret.
Today,
Alexander Verienov is an internationally recognized mouth artist, who has
produced many stunning originals as well as reproductions of other well-known
paintings are nearly impossible to tell from the original.
However, Verienov’c activity does not end here. Together with Maxim Goubanov, a
Russian philanthropist, he works towards raising money for Alexander Verienov
Disabled Russian Citizens Fund. This is an organization that aims to provide
wheelchairs, medicine, food and other necessities to disabled people who do not
have enough means to support themselves. Indeed, Alexander Vereinov is an
inspirational example of being able to use your inner strength and
determination to become successful and then use this success to help others.
1.
Beethoven and Keller were born disabled. …….
2.
Vereinov started painted at an early age. …….
3.
Vereinov only painted at night because they didn’t let him paint
during
