7. Jessica considers her parents as role models to be followed and as pillars for her. “My mother is my model and she always told me that I could do all that I wanted to do. My father never shed a tear since my birth as he does not consider me to be a victim. It is difficult to be the father of a handicapped person. He was my base during the difficult moments and it was he who forged the person I am today." 父母親是潔西卡最好的典範與最大的支柱。 “ 媽媽是我的典範，她常對我說你想做什麼就盡力去做吧！我一定支持你。” “ 爸爸也從沒有因為有我這個有缺陷的女兒而流過半滴眼淚；由始至終他從不認為我是個犧牲品。爸爸是我的依靠，尤其是當我面對困難的時刻；也因為有他才造就了今天的我。”
