Christopher Ategeka: How adoption worked for me

1. I experienced all the negative effects of poverty, from homelessness, eating out of trash piles, you name it.  贫穷的所有负面影响; 你所能叫出的（能想到的）

2. I went to the embassy and applied for the visa. I got the visa. 申请签证

3. I remember this day like it was yesterday.  那一天对我来说就像昨天一样

4. , a hop in my step, smile on my face,  一蹦一跳，脸上洋溢着微笑 （表现得很开心）

5. I couldn't fall asleep. I kept feeling it. 那个念头挥之不去

6. One of the most gorgeous, beautiful women I've ever seen walked up, red little hat with a white veil. I'm looking terrified, I have no idea what I'm doing. She hands me this warm towel -- warm, steamy, snow white. I'm looking at this warm towel; I don't know what to do with my life, let alone with this damn towel -- 朝我走来； 我真的吓坏了，我感到手足无措；我不知道如何处理我的生活，更不用说这张该死的毛巾 

7. talent is universal, but opportunities are not.  天赋
