The treatment mentally challenged people get is awful.
I recently saw some quotes, that were very rude toward
mentally challenged people.
Even if it was a joke, they shouldn't have said things like that.
It raised my awareness toward the rudeness of some people.
My 15 year old sister is mentally challenged.
But, she has an amazing mind. She is in the highest
history class possible at our school. She always gets an A.
She has an phenominal sense of hearing that I can't
even begin to explain. She can listen to a song, and play
it seconds later on her piano. She taught me how to spell
supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. She remebers almost
drowning at the age of two. A year ago she and I attended a
William's Syndrome Convention. She realized a couple
minutes after we arrived that it wasn't just her imagination
telling her she was different. She asked my dad,
"Daddy, is there something wrong with me?"
He looked at her for a minute and the replied,
"Sweetie, you have a thing called Williams Syndrome."
And he explained to her what it was. And she replied,
"Does Emma have it too?" I then burst into tears and she gave
me a big hug. They have the biggest, boldest personalities.
At this convention they had to tell the kids to shake hands,
because they were too loving towards eachtoher.
As soon as you walk into the room, they make you feel better.
They may look and act different, but that's just them.
I am proud to call this teriffic person my sister.
People may judge my sister and me for this, but I have learned
amazing things from my sister. And, I couldn't be prouder.
*True story.
Please raise awareness of this. They are some amazing people.
