Weekday Reflection: Hero

By , About.com GuideOctober 14, 2009

Follow me on:

Read: "I am no superman nor do I always triumph over adversity. I do not champion the lonely or bring riches to the unfortunate. I did not volunteer for this job I refer to as 'autism mom,' I was simply drafted." -- autismmom, from the post "I Am No Hero" on the blog Autisable

Reflect: Do I consider myself a hero? How do I feel when others call me that for parenting my child? What word would I use to describe my experience as a special-needs parent?

Respond in the comments with your own thoughts on this quote and how it applies to your life with your child.

Every weekday, take a moment to read, reflect, and respond to a passage from a book, blog, or article. ... More Reflections
