智障儿（Down Syndrome)

今天，教到一名智障儿, Sie Kiat。 虽然之前听其他老师说很多关于他的负面“新闻”， 可今天我第一次教他数学，却不觉得他很差呀！ 是慢了一点，但其实他并不是完全不会的。

当他做对时，我画了个大星星给他。可爱的他，反应是给我大大的笑容！ 我的鼻子一酸， 好想哭了！ 我付出一点点关爱， 他却笑得很开心！

他并不是故意要成为智障儿的，这是老天爷给的。 如果他有得选， 我想他宁愿也不要是智障儿吧？

大家， 如果你身边有位智障儿， 请你给他多一点的关爱。 因为一点点的爱，却可以鼓励他们， 为他们加油哦！

Have been teaching in this academic center for awhile and today this is the very first time i taught him, Sie Kiat, a downsyndrome kids. Before this, I have heard lots of bad or negative gossips from other colleagues. Few yeas ago, his mom sent him over to learn Mathematics and until today, he have not much improvement cause he still in same level compare to few years ago!

All my colleague was thinking he is such a troublesome cause he is totally cannot be teach! or in other way, is not understand! So, when he came in to class, nobody even bother him! Even some is teasing him! Oh My Goodness!

I try my way to teach him Mathematics. When came to question 14-11, I ask him normally, he gave me many kind of answer.. even give me an answer of 20! Oh God! So, I turn the other way round, ask him in chinese, if mommy give you 14 of sweets, then you have ate 11 of it, how many left? Quickly, he gave me correct answer of 3!! See!! At first i was thinking he was guessing, but after a few more questions, i try normal and sweets method to ask him, and prove that he gave me quick responded when came to sweets method!!

When he done with one page of the classwork, i drew a big STAR for him to encourage him to do well. He smile! He smile back to me! Oh God! I feels like crying! This is not an ordinary smile! this is a smile of an angel! so pure! I just show him some love, just a little one, and he was so happy and smileeee till barely see his eyes~!

I wonder, why people will keep away when saw unusual or abnormal things? Even look down at them? those kids are just down syndrome, not spreading virus! Why can't we just show them love instead of teasing them? This is not their chioces to be down syndrome! God make it! So why don't we just show them love? they really need lots of loves and courage to move on~~!
