Write About a Member of Your Family That You Feel Is a "Special" Person
I have one member in my family that truly consider "special". This person is my youngest son, Adrian. Let me tell you a few things why I think that he is a special person.

Adrian was diagnosed with Autism when he was about 2 1/2 years old. He is anti-social and non-verbal. Anti-social means that he doesn't interact with others that are around him.
For example, Adrian likes to play by himself.
The non-verbal means that he has no communication through speech.

Even though h is lacking speech, he can communicate his needs in his very own way.
For instance, when Adrian wants something to eat, he would come to me, grab my hand and pulls me to the refrigerator. On the other hand, it can get frustrating for him because
I am the only person that can understand his body language cues.

In addition to his anti-social and non- verbal communication, I have to mention that Adrian is the most loving child I have seen. The reason being is usually children with Autism do not like to be hugged or cuddled. Adrian loves to give hug and cuddle with me as well as he does with others.

Finally, I understand that my son is anti-social and non-verbal. At the same time, he has the ability to be social and communicate with me. He does it in a way no other person would it. As a result of this, I feel that this makes my son a "special"

    “I’ll never become rich doing this, but it’s what I love,” she said. She refers to a woman who essentially changed my life, Corinna Sowers-Adler. A mentor, a teacher, a director, and a friend who I’ve only come to know for a little less than a year now. This refers to the wonderful world I hope to be immersed in for the rest of my life, theatre. Corinna and I were conversing on our way to Starbucks with the rest of my new theatre family, Gaslamp Academy of Performing Arts, a program I had just enrolled in for the summer. I replied with an answer I now have a better understanding for, “Well… you’re rich in so many different ways.” My family has never been rich in terms of money, we’re pretty far from it. But we’ve always been rich in things…
