A Dream Chaser in a Wheelchair
Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. That ambition nearly ended in 2010 when Hill was in a car accident, which put the 17-year-old high school senior in hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed from the waist down. For most people, that would have destroyed any hope of a dancing career. But for Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a barrier, her wheelchair encouraged her to fight. “I want to prove to everyone including myself that I’m still normal,” she said, “whatever normal means.”
Normal for her meant dancing, so Hill did it in her wheelchair alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. Half of her body was taken away from her, so she had to move it with her hands. It took much learning and patience.
After graduation from high school, Hill wanted to expand her dance network to include women like her. She met people online who were fighting for the dream of dancing against various spinal (脊椎的) injuries, and invited them to dance with her. To reach more people in a larger city, Hill moved to Los Angeles in 2014 and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she called the Rollettes.
Every year Hill holds a dance camp called the Rollettes Experience for wheelchair users to help them bring out their acting talent. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended. For many, it was the first time they’d felt they belonged. Edna Serrano said that being part of the Rollettes team gave her the courage to get behind the wheel of a car. “I didn’t know I could do so many things that my fellow teammates had taught me,” she said. “I didn’t know I could be sexy. It’s so powerful to have my teammates in my life, because they’re my teachers. I have more confidence.”
Chelsie Hill attained what many of us never will: her childhood dream. She has been chasing her dream in the wheelchair. She’s a dancer. The Rollettes have helped her find something else just as fulfilling.
34. What happened to Chelsie Hill in 2010?
A. She lost her hope of dancing. B. She suffered from a serious disease. C. She realized her dream of becoming a dancer. D. She was severely disabled due to a car accident. 35. Why did Chelsie Hill set up the Rollettes in 2014?
A. To expand her social network. B. To enlarge her dance business. C. To seek more chances to dance. D. To motivate more people like her.
36. What change did the Rollettes Experience bring to Edna Serrano? A. She could help others.
B. She had more faith in herself. D. She became sexier than before.
