But she refuses to allow her blindness to limit her life activities. She enjoys archery，golf，softball，sailing and water skiing，as well as a number of other activities that those of us who are sighted have yet to learn.

Merle Shain explains it this way：“There are only two ways to approach life: as a victim or as a gallant fighter. And you must decide whether you want to act or to react...” When discouraged，a victim reacts，perhaps in pain or self-pity. But a fighter will act. A fighter will make a decision to change that set of circumstances that left him or her discouraged. Or a fighter will decide to accept those circumstances with grace and move ahead anyway. A fighter will decide to act with courage. A fighter will take responsibility for his or her happiness. No matter how afraid，a fighter will refuse to give in to the most defeating of all human emotions—helplessness. A victim reacts. A fighter acts. Its your decision.
