The morning after an evening flight with my then three-year-old daughter, I couldn't wait to get her to school. I was tired from the anger, and her inability to communicate because of her slowed language development.
As I accompanied her into the car, I felt desperate. Nothing was right with our world. She had been born around the same time the nation was witnessing the birth of another Great Recession(经济萧条).My job and my house had been victims. Then this happened. My child's language delay was identified, but doctors struggled to properly diagnosis her. I felt like we both needed to be rescued.
I returned that afternoon as disenchanted with the little girl I loved as when I left.
Walking slowly toward the school's playground gate, I found her preschool teacher racing to greet me.
"You should have seen her today!" His breathy words were supported by excitement. I didn't interrupt."See that climber."He pointed to a piece of wooden playground equipment that looked like a rock wall. I nodded. "Well, every day since she started school, She's tired and failed to make it to the top." He took a breath. "And today she made it.
He expressed his joy just like he'd witnessed her conquering (征服) Mount Everest ""She cheered and celebrated! I wish l'd recorded it.". His words comforted me. My daughter had conquered her mountain.As she ran toward me, I recognized something I hadn't before. I saw her perseverance. I saw her strength.I saw a hero.
