I had one student who was a little old man by the age of sixteen. His life span would be short (wouldn't make it to twenty or twenty-five) because of his disease but his heart was full of courage and love. I still cry when I think of the day he participated in the Special Olympics State games in the 400 meter walk around the track. It was hot and he couldn't sweat (part of his condition). He didn't give up and was determined to finish the race although he had to rest and be continually cooled. When he crossed the finish line dead last a long time after the others, he received a standing ovation from the stands. It was awesome and heart lifting.Margaret Daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127465489606276067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-89405604613988319402009-01-15T10:46:00.000-08:002009-01-15T10:46:00.000-08:00I've met quite a few children that I would conside...I've met quite a few children that I would consider heart testers. When I was teaching there were two types of children who could consider heart testers. The school I taught in had a special needs unit. The children there were all living with some kind of physical problem which kept them from being able to perform in regular classes. They would be heart testers because not everyone would be able to be around them. Another type of heart tester I met was the child who was bound and determined to never let you know they cared about what anyone felt for them when in fact they were crying out for love.EllenToohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114930219445131840noreply@blogger.com
