Laura

I have not met an inspiring teacher for the longest time. Yesterday, the English Language Teacher, Miss Laura spoke to a few of us and two things she said gave me new perspectives.

“God is very fair; He gives me two of everything: I am hearing-impaired on one side but I still have the OTHER ear. One of my kidneys failed me but I still have ONE other.”

“When parents of special needs kids tell me that they are tired (looking after their child), I ask them to think who should be more tired: the parent looking after that child or the child who is grappling with living in this world with the handicap?”

I feel that the world would be a happier place if we have more Lauras, jeanne anne hsi

Her name has been changed to protect her identity.
