There was a boy named George who is born on 4th December 1982. He has a rare disorder disease which is characterised by having three feet instead of two. When George was a child, he struggled mentally, emotionally and even physically. His parents and friends are very encouraging as they always supported George with love and care. He has learnt to overcome his weakness and now is trying to find his strength. Although George has three legs, it never stopped him joining his friends in movies, sports or swimming heats. He is very inspirational and a good friend to his classmates. George practice extra hard to gain over his disadvantage of extra limb especially swimming. He learnt how to use his extra leg to give him extra strength to propel forward.
Last Olympic which is held in Beijing, George represented Singapore to go to the Olympic to take part in the final swimming relay. He won the bronze medal.
George is very determined as he always persists and never ever gives up even when situation looks hard or even impossible. George has some traits of a good teacher for example he is a role model, sociable and he is very hard working.
I think he represent this quote by Martin Luther King very well, “If you can’t fly, then run; if you can’t run then walk. If you can’t walk then crawl but whatever you have to keep moving forward”.
