Billy Dengler, a 14-year-old boy, is in the eighth grade. A month after he was born, Billy’s mother, Terri, noticed that his eyes weren’t quite as big as a normal baby’s. She took Billy to the hospital, and the doctor said Billy would never be able to see.
Although Billy can’t see, he has never let that hold him back or make him different. Billy began teaching himself computer programming by using a screen reader when he was just seven years old. He is a certified Google developer (谷歌认证开发者) now. Google even tried to offer him a job when he discovered a problem in one of its systems, but Billy wasn’t old enough.
Billy’s dream school would be Stanford University or MIT, where he could get a very good education in computer science. After he leaves school, whether he will go to work at a company like Google or design a software company of his own is still to be decided. However, he says he will be sure to do something great.
“It’s a sighted world,” Billy said. “You can’t let anything get in the way of your dreams, and if you do that, you can’t move forward and make your dreams come true.”

I stood there listening to my father shout at the top of his voice. “Which one of you did this?” We all looked at the step. There was child’s handwriting in blue chalk there. Would he guess it was me! I was very nervous when he asked me, so I lied, “Not me, Dad.” My sister and brother denied(否认)it as well. To find out who had written on the step, our father gave us each a piece of paper and a pencil. He said, “I want each of you to write exactly what you see on the step.” I tried my best to write the words in a different way. I didn’t want Dad to find it was me. He collected our pieces of paper and looked at them. “Since none of you will admit(承认)to have done it, then I will punish you all.” I stood there and said nothing.
“I did it.” My sister stepped forward and said she had done it that she hadn’t. She was punished by not going out for a month.
I didn’t tell my dad it was I who did it until many years later. I always felt sorry because of it. I knew that I shouldn’t let anyone take the blame(承担责任)for me.
