My students were the students the so called "normal" students ridiculed because mine could not hide their differences. They could not hide being born with Down Syndrome, nor could they hide their total joy in the simplest things in life. To me, they were placed her to remind the rest of us that life can be enjoyed by loving the simple things. Who needs the explensive toys to find the giggles burbling inside us?<br /><br />I had a very sweet thirteen year old come to me after school one day. She wanted to tell me she'd decided she was going to have a baby because then she'd have someone who'd love her. My heart broke. I tried to talk her out of it, but she was determined. I tried to get her to talk with the counselor, but she already had. You and I both know where her decision was taking her and the child she would one day have. I don't know if she went through with her plan. She moved out of our district, but there were many other girls like her who thought they'd find love in having a baby.<br /><br />Hate and love...why is hate so easy to create and love so difficult to find?

I understand where you are coming from as we share those sort of experiences. I should hate all men, but I do not. I learned long ago it was a waste of energy to hate. It wasn't worth my time. It hurt me more then it did them. Which meant it was pointless. *sigh* <br /><br />I don't understand how people can hate for the reasons they claim. I can't wrap my head around it myself. I guess there are some things I'm just not meant to comprehend. Which is fine with me. I'd rather love, smile and laugh. I'll even take the times I make others smile and laugh. <br /><br />You are not alone Lin. }}hugs{{Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06247571195788096749noreply@blogger.com
