To my surprise, Tina was next. Tina used her walker to move to the front of the class and, straining to form
the words, began to try to recite the poem. She made it to the end of the first stanza when she made a mistake.
Before I could say a word, she threw her walker to the side, fell to the floor and started doing push-ups. I was
horrified and wanted to say, “Tina, I was just kidding!” But she pulled herself back up in her walker, stood in
front of the class and continued the poem. She finished all three stanzas perfectly, one of only a handful of
students who did, as it turned out.
When she finished, a fellow student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s only worth ten points!” Tina
took her time forming the words and said, “Because I want to be like you guys normal.” Silence fell on the
whole room until another student exclaimed,“Tina, we’re not normal; we’re teenagers! We get in trouble all
the time.” “I know.” Tina said as a big smile spread across her face. Tina got her ten points that day. She also
got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a whole lot more than ten points.
