Joshua, my son, is fifteen years old. He was born with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症). In the last fifteen years. I have experienced many difficult and 41 stories. However, right now I want to just stick to the topic of 42 Joshua was born, they 43 us not to “waste our time, energy or money". They claimed that our son would never accomplish anything. They told us he would never walk, talk or learn to use the toilet. 44 , we were not about to accept the words. However, we weren’t really sure what to expect.
Therefore, we expected him to develop at his own pace, with a lot of help and encouragement, but only to develop little. We decided that 45 we saw progress we could never give up. Very early on, we knew in our hearts that we had to have high expectations, but how high? We could not set goals for him that he could not ever possibly reach. 46 , if we did not have high hopes, the chances would be very slim for him to work to his potential.
When Joshua was four and a half years old, his younger sister, CJ, was three and attended the same preschool in a younger class. The school 47 an art contest and all the children in it presented pictures. The pictures were hung on the wall and the president of the local church, who was not personally 48 with the children, was appointed to be the 49 .
On the day of the contest, I made my 50 through the crowded parents to see CJ’s picture, 51 it was likely to be hung there, but Joshua' s class pictures were not yet up and I didn’t think twice about seeing his picture 52 leaving the building. You see, I had no expectation that Joshua would win; it was 53 for me to know that he was able to draw a picture and have it 54 with those of the other children.
Well, when I returned to 55 the kids, you can image my 56 when I discovered that Joshua was the winner from his class! Proud and excited, he told everyone, “I won the contest! I 57 it! ”
CJ kept insisting that she had won too and it was certainly a 58 feeling to know that Joshua had achieved something that his sister had not. After that I decided to keep my expectations 59 . It seems that most people work to whatever expectations are set for them. Why should Joshua be any 60 ?
