Just read this news about Mieko's mum leaving the broadcasting world and venturing into Special Education.
Mieko was an absolutely adorable girl with Trisomy 18 whose achievements really inspired me and drove me to do my best for Vera in the earlier days.
The news prompts me think about what I should do with the rest of my life. Should I continue in Advertising? Or should I too start from scratch again and delve into the world of Special Education? I've always loved to work with children...I taught briefly in a kindergarten and secondary school before. But is Vera the sign that I should be working in Special Needs? ...

Hi May, yes you should go out and empower the parents of other special needs children. You'll make a fine teacher!
PK :)
yeah yeah!!! Perhaps this is your calling! :)
Another way that Vera has changed you - makes me smile, to think that we ever wondered if our kids would be able to make their marks on the world. I think you would be great as a special education teacher. It would be great to be off on any school breaks that she has, too.
kaiya inspired me to be a special education teacher and i absolutely love it! it's interesting to come at it with the perspective of a parent and professional. i can't imagine doing anything else!
