Directions (1-5) : Read the given passage carefully and answer the given questions. Some words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.

Once something serious happens to us, we want our lives to magically return to what we once were and what we once knew. Just like when our car is broken, we want someone to fix it, when faced with a major illness or injury we should want it fixed. Certainly there are areas that need to be addressed, like the ability to walk or remember. For these we have therapies, occupational, physical, speech and so on. But, we have to ask ourselves is that all there is ?
Sometimes we forget we are people with needs and desires who want to live full lives. Instead, we concentrate on the things that are most visible. The reasoning is that once we get our skills and abilities back we will be on track to recapturing our lives. However, does this allow us to live a fulfilled life ? Our long term goal shouldn't be just to be able to perform tasks and chores, but to function as complete human beings. I'm not saying stop going to therapies or forget about wanting to get better. What I am saying is that maybe we should stop looking at ourselves as broken.
To do this we must give up some of our expectations that are based on how we used to be and begin to adapt to our new abilities. That requires learning how to be comfortable in your own skin. This is something I have been doing since my brain injury in order to live a complete life and discover who I am.
