Every Child is Special: a Reaction Paper
A friend was too busy to compose a reaction paper her boyfriend asked her to write (his assignment in school, actually). Enter me the savior. Here it is.
Just like any other Aahmir Khan movie I had watched, Every Child Is Special made me cry buckets. And yes, I’m a guy but I cried. Who wouldn’t cry? It’s one of the most inspiring and touching movies of all time. It’s one of those movies that just won’t be forgotten easily, a movie that will be etched in a viewer’s mind, and a movie that surely will impart lessons about life, parenting, and teaching.
The movie introduced me to the condition called dyslexia. It made me wonder and think back in time if some people I knew and met were dyslexic. I had classmates before in grade school that I really didn’t understand why they took too long to read a simple sentence or a short paragraph, which to me, were very easy. The movie made me wonder if, perhaps, some of them were dyslexic after all. At that time, it was either you were smart because you read fluently, or you were dull because you simply took a longer time to read simple words and sentences. There was no in-between, no label for those who had a hard time reading simply because what they saw when they try to read were different from what normal people see.
Another lesson that the movie made me realize was about parenting, about how parents should love their children equally, how they should accept them whatever conditions come with them when they were born and whoever they turn out to be. Parents should love their child all
