I know I’m not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I feel ordinary inside, but I know ordinary kids don’t make others run away screaming (尖叫) on the sports field. Ordinary kids don’t get stared (盯着) at everywhere they go. It’s all because of my face.
I’ve got used to (习惯于) how I look. I know how to pretend (假装) I don’t see the faces people make. My family have learned to do this too：me, Mom, Dad, and Via. In fact, Via isn’t so good at it. Once, some older kids made noise about me. I didn’t hear them, but Via felt angry and berated them.
Via doesn’t see me as ordinary, and Mom and Dad don’t either. They see me as special. I think the only person who knows how ordinary I am is me. My name is August. I won’t describe (描述) my face—whatever you’re thinking, it may be worse.
Next week, I will start the fifth grade. Because I’ve never been to a real school, I have a lot on my mind. Can I run freely on the field with other kids? I can almost smell the freedom! But... will the teachers and kids be nice to me? Will I have friends?
People think I haven’t been to school because of how I look, but that’s not it. Do you know how many surgeries (手术) I had? Twenty-seven. The big ones were before I turned four, so I don’t remember them. I had two or three surgeries every year after that. ▲ That’s why my parents decided it was better for me not to go to school. But I’m much stronger now.
