I considered this article a character-driven story because it tells us about the life of a girl, Oh Siew May.
She is a 39-year-old woman infected with celebral palsy. She has a unlucky and miserable life not only because she has been infected by the celebral palsy, she even has a father who eventually died of cancer. She even has an impaired sister and his brother gambled a lot and waste all the money earned by her parents.
But Miss Oh did not give up on her dream because there is someone supported her. She has unwillingness to give up on anything she wanted to do. She strive to make dreams come true. She has climbed Mount Kinabalu, which is one of the highest mountains of South-East Asia and despites being disadvantaged and being looked-down by the normal people. Other than that, she even wrote a book of her life and she encouraged many people in this world because people will think how a disabled person climb such a high mountain.. Her friends helped her to publish the book with their own willingness and spend their own money in order to encourage people to think positively to end it with a success.
We should learn from her good attitudes and not give up easily although we are disabled and we should also learn being helpful and kind from her friends. This can make us have more friends around us.
Do you think we can still succeed like her if we learn from her?
