    My little 10 years daughter, Sarah, was born with a

muscle missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time.

She came home jumping up and down one beautiful spring

day to tell me that she had competed in “field day”- that’s

where they have lots of races and other competitive events.

      Because of her leg support, my mind raced as I tried to

think of encouragement for my Sarah.  I wanted to tell some

hard facts of life not letting this to get her down. But, before

I could get my word out, she said, "Daddy, I won two of the

races!" I couldn’t believe that!  And then Sarah came out with

a declaration,"I had an advantage."

     Ah, I knew it. I thought she must have been given a

head start, some kind of physical advantage. But again,

before I could say anything, she said, " Daddy,I didn’t get a 

head start... my advantage was that I didn’t give in ,  I had to

try harder!"

That’s my Sarah.
