So I recently started reading the book "Wonder" by R. J. Palacio and I've never felt more thankful for everything in my life. This book talks about a little boy named August who was starting middle school after being home schooled and born with a lot of defects, and I mean A LOT. His eyes aren't in place, his nose is too big, he didn't even have jaw bone at his birth, his earlobes are nonexistent, and he has to wear hearing aids. The author describes how brutal his experience in school is, he is seen by many parents as a "disabled", defected child who wasn't supposed to be accepted at the school. Let alone how the other students created " The Plague " behind his back where if anyone touches him or any of his belongings, they had thirty seconds to wash their hands or else they're infected with the "August Plague " too. This book helped me realize how blessed I am in life and to not whine about little things since someone at this very second could be suffering with much more than I am.
