Great Accomplishment Worth Sharing!

hello msfrancisco... oh i'm sorry that i made you cry...but i am just telling the trith and how i feel about it...i actually salutes parents like you. i am not a parent yet but i know how difficult it is to raise children...and what more with kids who have special condition... i have read some of your comments here and your story reminds me of this one movie that i watched, about a twin having autism...and this movie really inspires me and makes me admire their mom who do lots of sacrifices and she really fights for her children to have fair treatment in the society and support them...and in the end, all her sacrifices and patience pays off...coz her twins really becomes successful and an inspiration to others... its title is 'miracle run' are you familiar with it? you can check the story here... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419967/plotsummary

it's okay no need to worry. it was a happy tear. i watched some movies about autism--like the "mercury rising" and the "rainman". thanks for having that passion for special kids even if you're not a parent yet still you are empowered enough to say those things in support to autism. again thanks!

Hi Ckyera, Thanks friend. You made me cry for your comments. I am so touched. People like you guys are we need. You have the heart for kids like ours and i am happy and grateful to all of you. Thanks to mylot too that i am given the chance to share happy stories about my special kids accomplishments and even our struggles being their parents. Hugs!

Hi Mimpi, angelo says thank you for the hugs and wishes. we are in process of reviewing him so that he will make it on the second elimination round. i believe in his capacity. i know he can make it to the second level until the championship round. actually, i received another note as i arrived home--a note from the teacher saying that angelo is in the top 6 of his class. great right? i am teary eyed while reading the note.

Hi 7thbird, Salamat...Mabalos po! Yes, my son's big development is a TEAM effort! i salute his teachers for a job well-done. we detected this when he was only tow years old and was confirmed when he reached 4. his case is the same with his kuya. I only have two sons and both of them have autism. It's mild but needs appropriate interventions. Good that we did an early one and i hope the eldest will also reach the mainstream program. He's already 13 and Angelo is 9 years old.

Hi Missybear, Thanks for the wishes. I will sure be there to guide him and be there for him all the time. i may not be a full-time mom since i am working to help my hubby earn extra income, i always maximize the opportunities to have a quality bonding with him especially after work and during the weekends!

Hi Vandana, Thank you friend. Until now even if i am so touched with all your responses here (that made me cry...) is a smile behind it. i will never stop believing in my son's capability to become successful someday...he's starting it now right?! i am grateful that i have friends whom i can inspire with my story and appreciate it too!

yes bounce we are trying our best to provide the best one for our sons. god is so good for providing us the means to win over this great journey with our two special kids. i know they will be successful in the future. i am sure of that. thanks for believing in my capacity to make things work for them and for our family.

hi squaretile, thanks for dropping by...yes, i just came from school. today is also their third quarter recognition day. angelo and his eldest brother who has autism too received awards. i am in cloud nine right now. while i am doing mylot, my son angelo is having his second elimination round of spelling bee. i just wish he will still make it until the championship round! thanks friend!

Hi Ramsey, I am happy to inform you that he made it to the final round. Last week was the final round of the spelling bee and i made a new discussion on this. My son made it to the second place. he got 28 points out of 30 items. i am so proud of him for this great accomplishment that he has academically. Thanks Ramsey!

Hi Mom, Yes friend. i always make them feel loved... me and my husband shower them our love. we always think of things that will make them happy and develop the best in them. i know we are on the right track with the help of the teachers--as team.. as partners...we can make it! thanks friend.

That's so wonderful! Congratulations to you and him. I bet he is proud. If he isn't he definitely should be! See you in MYLOT.

Thanks Aunt Mommaj per Angelo. He loves reading my posts about him and his brother here. Yes, we will always bump each other here. thanks friend!

Hi Mommaj, Thanks for that sweet hug for Angelo friend. There were two more follow up discussions on this topic. He made it with only two mistakes. out of 30 items he got 28 correct words. his teacher was so proud and happy of him. and of course we are so proud of him too. He's is really making it good in school. there's a big leap when he was mainstreamed. Thanks for the affirmation --for my hardwork as mom.

Hi Doryvien, Why no...let's set the date for a celebration. there's another one coming. he's also qualified for the second round--math quiz bee!

why not i mean... he made it mama for the second elimination round for spelling bee! whewwwwww i am in cloud nine mama! how are you? hope you're fine now!

Hi Letran, Thank you. You are right-- if given the proper intervention, they can excel academically and even hone the skills and talent that they have. he's really good in spelling and even his writing is great. he's only in grade--for the mainstream program with the regular students and he's really doing well. his teacher is so amazed of his determination to cope and learn. Thanks to Teacher Carmela and the rest of the team.

Hi Janey, I am happy to know that this sharing of mine brightens your challenging day. i hope things are going well now. thanks for appreciating my son's accomplishment. you made me even happy knowing that this story cheers you up!

thanks for the compliment janey. i'm glad that i do and thanks for giving me the chance to cheer you up. yes, we are here to provide support to each other. we too are here to make other feel good about themselves as we continuously affirm each other a thing that is usually overlooked to do.

This is a community of like-minded people (on the whole) who like to cheer other people up. You happen to be very good at it.

Hi Saphrina, thanks for sharing with us the joy as we celebrate angelo's success in his first spelling bee elimination round. i will surely make a follow discussion on this to update you about my son's progress. i will be here to help him review and practice for the said contest. i am confident that he will make it again the seond time around.

he's even inspiring his eldest brother to speak and interact some more. my eldest has autism too and still in the special education program. my youongest angelo loves his big brother so much to the point of assisting him and even translating what he's saying. so lovely.

I really wish that more parents can give such undevided attention to their children as well. With your love and devotion that wonderfull son of youre, is really going to get far in life. Good luck and God blss.

Hi Sreekala, THank you friend. Me and my husband are partners in supporting our kids needs particularly their education. their both very responsive in the intervention and we are happy with the kind of determination they are showing us (i have two special kids, Angelo is the youngest and Giancarlo is the eldest). we are special parents too that's why we have all the strengths and blessings to be there for them. thanks for empathizing with us! i appreciate is friend!

Hi Lyn, In all his battles over schooling-- we are always on his side. he's so happy seeing us in all his school activities. one time he even introduced us to his classmates. we're amazed even his teachers. he did the right way of introducing us. i know with the kind of effort my son is exerting as it relates to his studies i know he can make it to the mainstream program.

Hi Audrey, Thanks for sharing this inspiring words for me and my son. i promise myself that i will be there no matter what. he will always be more important than anything else. he and his brother are the most important gifts i received from god. and i am so thankful to him for giving me precious gifts...special gift like angelo and his brother giancarlo. my husband feels the same we know our priority--our kids, our family! you deserve a BR for this friend!

Hi Chanel, Yes, we are really having a great time with our kids. how i wish i can sustain this energy and momentum. my son is so determined to make it to the champsionship round. i will be here for him in reaching his goal. we just had a review session before i work here in mylot.

we are in the process of reviewing him with different words. i am praying for his victory on the 14th but if not it will not make my admiration and love for him less. my son is great no matter what.

Hi Lynkshadow, I think friend it's aspergers disease. it's within the autism spectrum. i admire for having the heart and patience to proivde care and support to your relative who has autism. you will surely be blessed with the kind deeds you are doing. yes, we considered it as one of the greatest things that happened in his first year in the mainstream program. he was able to compete with his other classmates in the regular class. i feel so great about his development in school. thanks friend. i appreciate you as a person. continue touching other's life for the concern you have for our special children.
