I saw this video on MSN today. It's about a boy named Matt who has spastic cerebral palsy. He wanted to run his own personal marathon at his school's field day, even though he was given the option to sit out. He slowed down halfway though, but with the support and kindness of his coach and classmates, he finished the marathon!
Way to go Matt!
This reminds me of all of my special education students, who inspire me everyday with their happy smiling faces and positive outlook despite their disabilities.
I hope we can all take the time to look outside of ourselves and brighten someones day!
