Some people's normals are other's miracles: READ ON!
I have been slacking big time with this blog!! But God has been good, as always! Completed my first year in graduate school! (Hooray!), and if I had to grade my time there I would go all out for an "A." I learned so much in and outside the classroom--not only about the world around me, but also about myself. I really enjoyed the classes I took, especially this last semester. I always considered myself to be an open-minded person but I realized that there's always room to be "more" open-minded... in a good way :).
One of the classes that I took was Intro to Special Education, and man that was one humongous eye-opening experience. At the end of the day, as J Moss puts it "nobody is a nobody God doesn't make mistakes. Nobody can ever take your place that doesn't exist in grace..."
We all want to feel loved, accepted and respected at the end of the day...Some people know how to meet that need, others simply don't. If able, use the moment you have to teach! Biggest reminder ever. Imagine having a child who has a disability, how many of us would be happy to take care of that child and treat that child like s(he) was still one of the greatest person on planet earth? I am not going to lie. Before taking that class, I am not sure how happy I would be if I were to have a child with a disability, and I have a feeling that I probably would be quite bias when dealing with the child....but now I have learned to understand that diversity comes in different forms and that being different, especially in that manner, does not mean that God has forgotten the person, or that He doesn't love that person...It also does NOT mean that He can not use that person with the disability to change the lives of others.

One of the best classes I could have taken. I praise God for that.
