No one cares to spend time with them, rather tries to push them out of their life. I personally love to spend time with kids with disorders, I used to be involved in a club called “Circle Of Friends.” Where every Friday I would go spend time with kids that most people would call “Special”, I have a great friend named Alexandria, whom I met there, she was Hispanic, with such lively attitude and beautiful light brown eyes, she was so sweet. Every time I went there she got so excited and would always come give me a hug. One thing that differentiated her from my friends was, she was true and spoke her mind, she never lied to me. She did whatever she wanted, whenever and didn’t care what others thought of her. (Sedaris 1997) “A person had to do these things because nothing was worse than the anguish of not doing them.” (362) Maybe this is why she was so free to speak her mind and do as pleased, rather than holding onto her thoughts like we do.

Do to others what they do unto you. Specifically, the tit for tat strategy, do to your partner whatever your partner did to you on the previous round.” (57) I was so caught up in expecting to be treated how I’m treating others, and maybe having that expectation is the reason why I didn’t get treated as well as I should have. It costed me to be insulted at times, but I never gave up, I keep trying, just not as hard as before. I be nice the first round, but if they can’t respect me I no longer try
