Maricel Apatan，22，stands in the kitchen of the Edsa Shangi-La Hotel in Manila，preparing to decorate a cheese cake.It would seem to be a routine task for a cake chef，but Maricel is no ordinary chef-she has no hands.
Maricel has come a long way since the day in September 2000 when she and her uncle were attacked near their farm.Fortunately，both of them survived，but the 11-year-old girl lost her hands.In 2004，she entered a Manila training centre for people with disabilities.She learned how to write and do housework and，more importantly，came to terms with her disability.
After graduating from high school，she took a two-year Hotel and Restaurant Management course and flourished even though she was the only disabled student in the course.After she moved back to Manila to continue her studies，the media started reporting on this determined young woman.She didn't shy away from the attention. "I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it's possible to live a normal life，" Maricel says.
When managers at the Edsa Shangi-La Hotel saw Maricel on television，they hired her as part of the hotel's Care for People project.She has also accomplished her goal of inspiring others.One of them is Ronelyn Calumpiano，a 21-year-old with cerebral palsy（腦癱）.She saw Maricel on television and was moved by her confidence.Ronelyn will soon start classes and is already planning a career in IT.
Maricel's three younger sisters have moved to Manila.She pays for the rent of their small apartment，while their parents look after their family farm in Mindanao. "It is difficult to make ends meet，but I won't lose hope.I believe anything is possible if you dream，work hard and pray."

2．I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers，and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried，I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day，I was told that if I got one more E on my report card，I would be taken to the "big prison for kids"．
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out，I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E，just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage （孤兒院） was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do；it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said， "Mr.Young，do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger？" He looked at me，moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger，Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day，when I got my report card，I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus，I opened it：Geography，B+；Mechanical Drawing，C-；English，D-；History，C-；Gym，B+；Art，C；Math，D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.

C．In the school dormitory.
D．In his home.
