Christina Parra brushed her cane(手杖) across the carpet at the entrance to Walgreens. She tapped her way past the shopping carts(手推车) and red lipsticks she could only smell .
Christina, a 16-year-old with two prosthetic(假的) brown eyes, had visited this store several times in smell for this moment: She was shopping. Love songs got through the speakers of the North Highlands, California store. Christina reached the end of aisle (通道) 1--A and turned right, losing her way past smooth bottles of liquid soap, toward the individual soap bars. She wanted to buy a bar of soap. A simple goal, but not . clearly an easy one.
Christina was 18 months old when she was diagnosed with cancer in both her eyes. Doctors treated Christina’s left eye immediately; a few years later, they removed the right. Since then, activities other kids get for granted---riding the bus, crossing the street, shopping at a store---have posed plenty of challenges for her.
The teacher showed the little girl how to find her classroom by tapping her cane along a lawn’s (草坪的)edge. She learned to count driveways while pointing to a certain address. Yet for a long time, shopping still seemed frightened. How would she ever walk by those vast aisles, surrounded with row after row of products she couldn’t see?
Finally, Christina told her teacher that she was ready to shop on her own .Together, they took inventory (目录册) at Walgreens. Over the course of several visits , Zermeno told Christina the kinds of products each aisle held; Christina took careful attention on her Braille computer(盲人电脑). And moreover it was, on Monday, that her cart came to rest on the bars of soap. She felt her way down to a lower shelf, until she saw the one she wanted.
