I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm
.
"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very
, I will do!"

. So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can
them by yourself.
