THE HOSPITAL BOY

WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH TENDINITIS, I WAS GOING THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME, AS I COULDN'T WORK FOR 3 MONTHS AND HAD BRACES.

DURING ONE INSPECTION, A BOY WITH CEREBRAL PALSY WAS BROUGHT TO ME. AT THAT MOMENT I WAS EMBARRASSED AND FELT STUPID. SKEPTICISM AND THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF WORKING WILL SHOOT DOWN A REALISTIC VIEW OF THE MATTER. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE MUCH WORSE OFF THAN ME AND THEY ARE STRUGGLING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO FIGHT IN LIFE AND HE DID NOT GIVE UP.

IT WAS SUCH A POWERFUL MOMENT FOR ME THAT I CAN STILL SEE THE BOY'S FACE BEFORE MY EYES.
