there are many different types of diseases that come along with the term. The severity of a child’s diagnosis varies. A child with special needs brings a whole new life to those who they are around. After watching the two movies, Lorenzo’s Oil and The Other Sister, my eyes were opened even more about living with children who have special needs. Lorenzo’s Oil is based on a true story of Michalla and Augosto Odone and their son Lorenzo. When Lorenzo is just five years old he is diagnosed with a…

I began to sit by the young male, his skin on the other side of the spectrum. He aggressively sighed. “I don’t sit by your kind” he scoffed.

August 21 - I woke up extra early today so I could go arrange something with the cooks. Nobody ever has any fun round here, so I thought we could do something a little different for Larry’s birthday. By the time breakfast started, most people were already in the cafeteria, Larry was given an extra biscuit with a single, reused candle. Larry was pretty embarrassed. We were all laughing when some of the older men tried to sing Happy Birthday, but forgot half the lyrics. After breakfast we hit the…

My friends and I went to the schools hockey game on this night along with many other students including Thomas. We would all sit in the fan section and shout rude things to the other team. It was halftime; my friend Katie and I were hungry but didn’t have any money on us. Katie then started asking the people around us for money, like we were homeless. Thomas heard her asking…

She thought., Imani walked in sync with the thousands of others and quickly turned into an alley hoping no one would see. She sat down “This was a huge mistake!” She watched people walk in with their feet stepping with each others.
