Part 9 : Finish School Very Well

It feels like just yesterday that Glory's parents were exhausted from searching for the right school for her. Now, six years of middle and high school have flown by, and the long-awaited graduation day is finally here. The parents sit separately from their children, watching as each student's name is called. One by one, the graduates walk across the stage to receive their medals, proudly accompanied by their parents.

The next session was to give awards to outstanding students in each field. Glory was called first:

"Glory: The Best in Chemistry and Physics"

Glory walked onto the stage with her mother and father by her side, feeling proud as she received two medals for the highest scores in her class. As other names were called, her friends went up to receive awards for subjects like Math, Business, English, Mandarin, Indonesian, Music, Physical Education, Biology, and more. But Glory wasn't done yet—she also received a special medal for "The Most Improved Student" because her grades this year had significantly improved compared to the previous year.

Glory's mother was deeply moved. She never imagined that Glory would graduate with such good grades.

If Glory had been born ten years earlier, the treatment for autism might not have been as advanced as it is now. And twenty years ago, children like her were often dismissed as hopeless, even though they possess abilities in certain areas that far surpass those of others.

Glory's parents want to encourage other parents who may be facing similar challenges with their own special children. Don't lose hope. Instead, nurture your child's interests and talents. Let them grow in the areas that truly capture their passion. As parents, we don't need to focus solely on perfect grades, because in the real world, success often comes from mastering a few key skills.
