                                 Life… is not hard!

                                                                                                           

Life, in various ways, gives you chance to learn, explore and understand. As if, sometimes when things are not according to our wish we start feeling ourselves helpless, same happens to the person who naturally has some deficiency. They find it a bit harder to reach their desired goal but this does not lessen their enthusiasm towards that. It is a condition that makes things more difficult for the person, it interrupts their interaction around the world.

There are some instances where disability is clearly visible, these people grab attention (of course not intentionally) easily and we become pitiful, forgetting that they too are human beings with emotions and self respect.

I want to share my own experience, this incident took place couple of days back during board examination. While performing my invigilation duty I was informed to give extra time to a boy who had some difficulty (he was lying under the category of disability). When the estimated time of 3 hours was about to be over I asked him does he need extra time, he answered affirmatively, so I stopped there and my co-invigilator walked off the classroom with rest of the answer sheets.

Well, talking about his disability is not my point today, the all I want to share is what I felt. Though he had trouble in writing and was continuously trying to adjust (sitting continuously for 3 hours at a place is really a tough job, especially when you have problem in various manner) but still I could see the enthusiasm in his attitude. When you are in a certain field your mind works in a way that you are on duty every time so I observed and found that what expected troubles he could have. A 12^th standard boy who had to solve mathematics paper was raised in such a manner that he didn’t lose his motivation even for a second. During writing few stuffs of him fall down, I thought to help him but before I could reach and bend down to pick the stuffs up, he helped himself and picked all the things up with his shaking hands. After that again there was a struggle of adjustment.

So, what I wrote must be sounding something like sympathy or something else but today his disability is not my topic, I want to talk about the family. Family is the place where we learn everything, this family where this is raised, definitely has cultivated confidence and love towards self. I must say parents of these children do incredible job and I salute them.

Raising a child is a big responsibility and if there is something different from usual, it turns into a challenge. Confidence is the most important factor to attain the goal and this confidence can be built by the parents and family at the initial level. That day that boy was able to complete his work only because he was left to face the world, if he was not told that he has to enter in a world of cut throat competition he would never  been able to cope up with the disability. May be the outcome of his work or effort will not be that perfect but yes the effort, the enthusiasm, the love for life matter.

While concluding I would only like to say that it is not imperfection, it is something doing a task in a different way. Ability is a term that ensures the person is going to perform his duty in their  pace. When ability is suffixed with dis it only changes the perspective and not the capability.
