MY VIEWS AND A GOAL FOR THE FUTURE

Please don't judge me okay?

I work at maccas (McDonalds) part time/casual.

Now again, this is just how I view the whole situation, how I interpret this event so don't be too quick to judge okay?

Right

Here we go.

So I was at work one day when a family came in with their son. The young boy was about 6 maybe 7 years old. He had clear disabilities, hearing aids on both ears and his mouth/jaw structure wasn't fully developed. 

I don't have very much experience with disabled people. My natural instinct was to smile. 

He started talking to me. 

THEN HIS PARENTS STOPPED HIM FROM TALKING TO ME 

And they said "Now buddy, this is why we speak for you in public." They then apologized to me for him speaking to me and ordered their meals.

They were embarrassed of their son!! 

It all happened too fast 

But today I really got a chance to think about it. 

It made me think, what if I was the boy? He probably didn't think much different of it but when he gets older, would he think that maybe his independence is non existent? How will his confidence be?

And now I have a goal for the future.

I want to be a film director when I am older. I want to open acting classes for young disabled people to build their confidence and give them something to live for, something to make their parents proud with.

Now i'm just rambling on 

Stay awesome people
