Jason, our son, was born with cerebral palsy (脑瘫). We often comforted him as he faced many challenges in his early years. It was heartbreaking to see him regularly chosen last for baseball， a happy child and well liked by his peers throughout elementary school. His most difficult time came when he began high school.
One afternoon, Jason returned home in tears. He threw his bag on the floor and shouted: "I'm never going to school again!>, He was covered with food that other kids had thrown at him on the school bus on the way home. Jason told us what had happened.
Jason had signed up for the school running team. That day, a few older students made fun of his performance on the track and made him the target of their food fight. I called the principal about Jason5s experience. Jason stayed on the team, even though the harassment(骚扰) continued.
One day we had snow and freezing rain. As the other kids exercised in the gym, they noticed one lone runner, Jason, jogging around the snow-covered track.
A few weeks later, Jason said, "Mom, Dad, sit down.", I was ready for the worst. He said that each month，students chose an “athlete of the month”. The coach would list the top athletes, and students voted for the winner. Jason^ name had never been listed. But that day, one of the students said: UI would like to nominate Jason for ‘athlete of the month’. He works harder than any of us.” Tears formed in Jason’s eyes as he told us what happened next, "Mom ... Dad ... everyone in the class put their hand up." In tears, we looked on as he proudly displayed his certificate.
Whenever I despair, I think of this story. I remind myself that challenges are not overcome by force, but by patience, determination, and faith.
