This week’s @steemiteducation homework assignment is centered around sports. Normally, that would be right in my wheelhouse. Unfortunately, I was so busy geeking out that I had not planned to participate this week.
Then something amazing happened.
On Thursday, one of my students stayed after class. After everyone else had left, she asked my teaching assistant and me, “Can I tell you something?”
Uh oh. That usually means something very serious.
It was serious alright.
Seriously awesome!
Hope had stayed back to tell me about what she called, “The best night of her life”.
Hope is 15 years old. She loves to read, participate in class and challenge herself to answer difficult questions. She is clever and has a great sense of humor. She is incredibly outgoing and enjoys hanging out with her friends and teammates.
Oh and Hope happens to have Cerebral Palsy.
This congenital disorder makes it very difficult for Hope to control her muscles. It negatively impacts her speech, physical movement and ability to write. It is quite difficult for Hope to walk without losing her balance. But she does. She walks. She just walks a little more slowly than her peers.
But back to the important part… the best night of her life.
Hope’s face lit up as she struggled to form the words to explain what had happened. Sometimes she had to repeat those words so we could understand. Thanks to her undying effort, we did.
The previous night, Hope had participated in an indoor track and field event. She ran the 800 meters for our team. She was incredibly happy to report that she had recorded the fastest time she ever had in her life. I explained to her that this was called a “personal best” and that she should be extremely proud of herself. I told her how excited I was for her and began to head to my next class (which was in a classroom at the other end of the building).
She said, “That’s not it. It was awesome because everyone stayed and no one tried to hurry me or tell me the race was over.”
Wait!
This whole time I was thinking she was talking about our Special Olympic Track and Field team. But that doesn’t start until the spring. No. She was describing the school’s official team.
Regardless of which team it was, I would have been very impressed with her running her personal best. But that was just a minor detail in “the best night of her life”.
Hope is a member of the Freshman Track and Field team. She competed against other Freshman from several other schools.
She finished dead last.
But she finished.
Hope may have been the last kid on the track, but she was definitely not alone.
(This picture is from the 2016 Summer Olympics. Hope isn't in the Olympics...yet.)
She described the scene for me. It seems that instead of leaving after their race was over, every single member of every team stood in the middle of the field house and cheered Hope on as she slowly made her way around the track.
According to Hope, every parent rose to their feet to join the athletes. She later discovered that with every step she took, parents approached her mom to congratulate her.
No one complained that she was taking too long or even considered ending the race before she finished. She was a competitor who had earned the right to cross the finish line. Just like every other girl, she did.
Hope’s smile reached maximum capacity as she said, “and no one felt sorry for me.”
She continued, “They were cheering me because I was doing it. Not out of pity. I don’t want to be pitied. I can do anything.”
She can.
She does.
For a moment I lamented the fact that I was not there to witness this accomplishment. That would have been awesome! Then I realized this had nothing to do with me at all. This wasn’t about my joy at witnessing the event. It was about Hope. Every time she tells that story, she will be reliving the greatest moment of her life. I am lucky that I got to be part of that.
I hope... Hope will earn many.
This week’s @steemiteducation assignment asked, “How do you get kids to participate in sports?”
My answer is simple.
I can’t.
But Hope can.
Hope will.
She will encourage her friends and classmates to get out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves. She will convince them to join her in striving for their personal best. She will instill in them the belief that they too can do anything.
Hope will.
You're warming my heart and warming peoples' lives. "Hope is the thing with feathers" remains one of my favorite lines of poetry, and for some reason, your post brought that to mind.

Thanks man. By far the best thing about my job is getting to be a tiny part of these big moments in my students' lives. In this case, just being an audience for her retelling of the event was a blessing. I am really lucky to be surrounded by examples of strength, perseverance and kindness everyday. It gives me Hope for this world.
I'm glad it made you think of Dikinson's poem. It's a powerful one. Thank you for reminding me of it.

Even on my best days, I don't show this kind of perseverance. Hope has more ability to go the distance than many people I have heard about. She showed that she isn't 'dis'abled, on the contrary.
I loved to hear how her team mates supported her as well and were cheering her because they knew she could do it.
This story will stay with me for a while. Very inspirational. She can do it and anything else her body allows. Awesome. Her personal best isn't great bc of her disability it is in spite of it.
Okay I'll stop now. I'm just .... something. :)

Such an inspirational story. Two of our children are competitive swimmers and they compete in events every few weeks. Each of the swim teams in our regions has several special needs swimmers. Some of these swimmers are paraplegic and don't even have the use of their legs to help them swim. The competitions are organized so that people swim against others who have similar time standards. This means that the ages of swimmers in each individual race might differ and based on the last time they set a time in that event their could possibly be a large gap in speed and ability during the earlier races in an event. Our special needs swimmers swim at the same time as our regular swimmers. We have watched more of these races than I can even count. To watch these swimmers give their all in these races is extraordinary. They are often the last swimmers to finish a heat and can at times take a very long time. Both the other swimmers and the fans at the pool are always exceptional in my experience. They cheer loud and proud for these kids, rooting them on to finish and at the end there is always a tremendous applause. It those moments in sport when you know exactly why you got involved and get to see the positive impact it can have on our children.

One of my best friends growing up had cerebal palsy. His parents treated him horribly. He couldn't walk very well and would always stumble. The only thing he really had in life aside from a few friends like me were his comic books which his parents would rip up in front of him if they got mad at him.
I was always so angry at his parents and I always wished there was a way for him to escape into a better life.
I'm really glad to hear that Hope has HOPE.
My friend had no hope. Eventually he moved away without letting his friends know where he went. I never heard from again.
He is in my thoughts even now though. Wherever you are buddy....... I hope you're doing well.

Inspirational post! Thank you for sharing her story. There is much to learn here and much to admire from her.
I have always believed that sports is a great avenue for Children to develop strong mentality and learn good values & character while having fun. Sports & Martial Arts have been a part of my life and education since I was young and I aim to share it with people especially kids. I have taught martial arts for years and I emphasize discipline, focus & strong mentality, good character and self-development. Sports can be used to educate kids about life and how to face life & its challenges positively.
I am new to steemit so I'm still learning its ways but I plan to write about the link between sports, martial arts and life and how sports & martial arts can aid in self-development.
It's great to have read this post. Looking forward to read more stories from you @hanshotfirst! 😊

it's this like people like hope are keeping the hope alive in this world.
If she wouldn't have taken the courage to participate and run, even when she could saw herself being behind, that she couldn't have created a great story.
people like her tells us that all you need is to give your 100% and feel proud of doing that. Rest comes automatically !!
If hope could get my message, I would want her to know that "It's because if you hope, the hope is alive in the world" with a big hug :))

What an incredible story and thank you for sharing. As a former 800 meter runner myself who PR'd at 1:56 (albeit almost in a different century and two broken legs ago), the focus of track and sports, in general, had been about results first and everything else second. It was only after my playing days passed that I realized the most valuable lessons I took from athletics were ones like you hinted at in the article, including pushing beyond one's comfort zone, challenging oneself, and focusing on winning one's own race.
Looking forward to your future posts!

This makes me very happy. When I read the homework I really didn't believe the premise, and I think you just proved it in the best way possible. Kids are very rarely lazy, and in many cases it's fear that prevents them from trying their hardest. Hope is proof that there's everything right with trying hard, and she's an inspiration for other students to do their best outside the classroom.

Great quote..
"Everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at least once in their life because we all overcometh the world.
-Auggie"
Suppose that you are on your death bed (don't take it otherwise) not exactly a death bed but on a road after being hit by some speeding car, then the car stops and a beautiful girl comes out of the car, worried (obviously), running towards you. But you are lying there tied to a mere thread of consciousness, saw her and immediately losses consciousness.
Then while you were unconscious you were dreaming, right from the starting i.e. that is your birth, you were a happy child (whatever your life story really is), went to a good school, got good grades, then college, you are popular in college, you met the same girl, who came out of that car after hitting you, you fell in love, immediately, she also liked you.
You both in love deeply, married together, had many cheerful experiences in life, in short it was the life worth living.
But since you were very happy something had to happen, you both had gone for a long drive and enjoying the moment, then a speeding car becomes the cause of your wifes death.
Then with a jolt you wake up in a hospital, beside you is the same girl, weeping for what she had done, and you are smiling, happy from inside that she's alive, that it was only a dream.
But really was that just a dream or your whole meaningful life in a dream?
That's how it is we can also be the same case as the one above who knows.

That's right, 'personal best' is the true inspiration. To be honest I don't like sports back then in my middle and high school. Even when we're 'forced' to run for a marathon, I ended up just walking. But then when I was in my first year in college there is a person which is currently my coach, he asked me to join the training . I told him that I can't be like the other runner but he said 'what if you just do better than what you did before? 1 second faster is called and achievement.'
Thanks to him, four years in college, now I'm one of the top runner there.

Hello @hanshotfirst. Very good post I was touched. We have many things in common, I am a teacher, already retired. Integral education. I have a son of special conicion, Mild Autism. Nobody knows the destiny of each one, that if I knew I would have studied for special education, but it is never tare, and with it I have had to learn, but I am missing a lot.
He is intelligent, very sentimental, he has a retentive to remember things that he wins me.
He is in 6th grade with his limitations (We are from Venezuela), where in reality in the city (CIUDAD BOLIVAR), the kind of specialized help for children, people like ....... is very scarce too much I would say, that we are the mothers that we have to look for the tools to help them, what if it cost me a lot is that I read. It is in basic words, but I know that it costs, it is not that I do not want that I can not but that it costs a lot so much that it gets frustrated, gets angry gets into anger.
It also has some limitation with the language, but advanced too.
My attention was the sporting theme. What would be the ideal sport for him?
He has tried volleyball because the sister practices volleyball, she was advanced but suddenly she was amazed.
Then I try with the baseball, but because his classmates did not understand it until the teacher did not have that touch for children like him, that he declined.
He asks me for a sport he suggested swimming he did not want.
He likes auto mechanics a lot, the movies his favorite the titanic, he looks for videos, he asks me questions about the film if he gives it 10 times a week 10 times he sees it, he knows many scripts of it ... and fast and Furious.
I gave you to follow, retest and vote, I am willing to give me advice, recommendations, to achieve better results with my son ... he has his account opened because he asked me but is not yet in age and I He said I will wait but I already have it ..... THANK YOU ..

Very beautiful Hope, reminds me of my brother Vicent, who is also special, does not beat, has autism, does not read yet, transcribes the blackboard, recesses more things than I do, I love him but sometimes has a character, but like that and I love everything, I would like to do much for it but I find myself sometimes tied ... without knowing, I would like to become something more for someone to be able to fend for himself in his adult life, since the parents are not forever, and after them I would be your protector.
