Something Heard...

Today in one of my classes a mother shared to the class how she related to a video clip we watched.  She tells the class that her son was born with down syndrome and when he was first born a team of young doctors came into the room and instead of looking at the child as a new born, she said they looked at him like he was some kind of medical case.  She did not specifically say the emotions/feelings she felt at the time but I can only assume they were not good.  I think at times all people have judged or looked at some differently because they are "different" but because they are "different" doesn't mean they are not the same as us.  We are all made the same way and all have the same potential, I believe no one should feel like they are being looked at as a medical case.
