| Popis: | 91 My left hand -- A self-narrative of life story Shu-hui Kuo Abstract In this research, I talk about my life, which is about my left “hands”and me. I am physically handicapped, but it is not easily observed. In the past decades, everybody required me to behave normal, and I thought I was. My mother passed away eight years ago. She had gotten a cancer for five years and I accompanied with her. We faced death together. Everybody asked me to be brave, and I thought I was. I was struggling between the truths and the expectations. This conflict was getting bigger and bigger especially when I studied in graduate school. I felt that I was a stranger there. I was so distinct from my classmates and myself. Who am I? Where am I? Do I belong there? All of these questions lead me to another direction which is a journey to look for a real me. In the first part of my research, I go back to my past. Through reconstructing of my past, I gained a clear understanding of the existence context where I was situated. Gradually, I became much more aware of my former thoughts, concepts, and beliefs. Then, I could be much closer to my mother and myself. In the second part of the research, I realize some of my tactic knowledge and reflective processes are by acting science. And I knew more about the underlying reasons of my actions and decisions. I tried to inquiry into myself, to understand where I was, to examine my life experiences, and to reflect the challenges of my life. In my thinking, this story was just a begining. It makes me become an author of my life, return to my subjective position and create the life of my own. I believe that I will be able to have more rich stories in the future!
