     I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard the young voice. 

     "Mom, come here! There's this lady here my size!"

     The mother rushed to her son; then she tumed to me to say "sorry".

     I smiled and told her, "It's okay." Then I talked to the boy, "Hi, I'm Darryl Kramer. How are you?"

     He studied me from head to toe, and asked, "Are you a little mommy?"

     "Yes, I have a son," I answered.

     "Why are you so little?" he asked.

     "It's the way I was bom," I said, "some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any

bigger." After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy's hand, and left.

     My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I

look different from their parents. I stand 114 cm tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite

this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.

     I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names (辱骂

我). Then I knew I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always look fixedly

at me as I tried hard to climb the school bus stairs.

     But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make

my uniqueness (与众不同) an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked (缺少) in height, I made

up for in personality.

     I'm 47 now,and people are surprised when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people

are not polite enough, I say to myself, "Look what else I have-a great family, nice friends."

     It's the children's questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that,

I will encourage them to accept the persons around them, whatever size and shape they come in, and treat

them in a friendly way.
