It was one of my good friends birthday parties. As always, there was plenty of food, good laughs, and happy memories. This all took a sudden turn when her dad ran outside screaming (and cursing) because my friend wasn't watching her autistic brother for 2 seconds as he got hit by a tire swing. He basically screamed in front of the entire group of people how horrible of a child she was and that everything was her fault (when it was his own fault for not watching his son when he agreed to).
My friend has gone through a really rough childhood. Constantly degraded, never appreciated. Meanwhile, this girl holds a solid 4.0+ overall in her academics and participates in numerous school ensembles and is a member of nhs and spanish club.
After an incident as heart-wrenching (and embarrassing) as that, everyone just needs some appreciation. We all, to say it with enthusiasm, just told her how awesome she is. She really deserves to be complimented for all she has achieved.
