LV01 - 110. Amy
Amy
Amy was a girl who came into our classroom.
She had many things wrong with her.
Amy was in a wheelchair, and she couldn't talk.
She couldn't make her hands and feet do what she wanted them
to do.
We wondered why Amy would even be in our class, because she
really couldn't do much
of anything.
Amy had a teaching assistant who had to stay with her all
the time.
One day the teaching assistant got called away.
I had to look after Amy.
I was afraid to look after her.
I really didn't know what to do.
I sat beside Amy, and I smiled at her.
She smiled back at me.
I never realized before that she had such a nice smile.
Amy made a noise.
It seemed like she wanted a crayon that was lying beside
her.
I put the crayon into her hand.
She had trouble holding it, but eventually she got the
crayon into her hand well enough
so that she could make marks on the paper that was on the
tray in front of her.
Amy spent a long time making marks on the paper.
She tried so hard to create whatever it was that she was
drawing.
She worked for a long time.
I just watched her, and I gave her a lot of credit for not
giving up when she obviously had
so many problems.
When she was finally done, she picked up the paper with
great difficulty.
With a look of pride on her face, she handed me the
picture.
It was for me.
I was very touched that she spent all that time drawing
something for me.
I thanked Amy and smiled at her.
I told her I loved the picture.
I still have that picture, although I'm not sure what it is
a picture of.
I learned a lot from Amy that day.
I saw a brave girl who wouldn't give up.
Whenever I think my problems are too big to handle, I think
of Amy and I remember her
smile.
