I always suffered from the people around me and how they look at me with amazement because I look differed from them in their facial features. I was sometimes exposed to bullying and hurtful words. They think that I do not understand what they say, but it was a wound deep inside me.

They were and are still my family who support me and help me, so they accept my illness for my special condition and their confrontation with the surrounding community, despite everything that is saying to them, their position was very important to me, it strengthened and pleased me. So, accepting the truth of illness and understanding it is very important for continuation and steadfastness despite everything. My disease was not optional and no one has a reason for it, it is from God’s appreciation and how beautiful it is for God to distinguish you from the rest of society.

Memories passed in front of my eyes as I was looking at my new friend, "Mateo", who had recently joined my private center for training and rehabilitation. From afar I saw him sitting in one of the corners of the park and he was looking at the other children while they were playing together. I knew that he was tense. I get this feeling when I go to a new place, because we find it difficult to socialize and get to know new people.

I went next to him and started talking to him. He was five years old. I introduced him by my name, "Hey, I'm Luna." I spoke and he did not respond, I attracted to the doll that he was holding in his hand, “Are you not introducing me to your beautiful friend” What is his name? To answer me “His name is Jake” His name is beautiful Do you like him? Yes, he is the only friend I have.

Upon hearing this word, I remembered how I was alone and didn’t have friends and everyone would go and leave me alone most of the time, "Is this pretty sad and wants to play?", no answer, so what do you think that we go to the children and introduce to each other. He answered me with a smile. I understood his approval, so I hugged him and we went to them, all children at the same time with a smile "Hello" What is your name? to see a slight smile on his beautiful face and cling to his doll more to evidence of joy and enthusiasm "My name is Mateo and this is my friend Jake", come on, go get to know each other and play together I will come to play with you later I love you.

I saw his parents watching him from the window, welcome please sit down and talk a little about Mateo. Mateo is very nice, he’s not completely closed and this is very good for him, he will not face many difficulties and problems, if we cooperate together it will be good for him and we will help him and get the desired result as soon as possible.

Parents - of course we cooperate. We are ready to do everything that will help him improve in mixing with the surrounding community and get to know new people. We came here to help him get rid of the loneliness that he lives. We do not want to see him sad and alone anymore. Seeing his smile makes us happy. See How happy he is and he plays with the children It has been a while since we have not seen him so happy.

Thank you so much I’m very happy with your wonderful dealings and understanding of his situation, this is very important and it will be the greatest support you will give him, for now the most important thing I want from you is that you try as much as possible to stay away from everyone who directs hurtful words or acts badly with you and Mateo, because we don’t want you to be affected negatively, and to not have any problems with Mateo progress.

The first lesson I will teach Mateo is to love himself and to know that he’s special from the other and it’s s nice to be special, and then I will teach him to get along with people and to have friends, let him come throughout the week, but without coercion , he must be agreeable and happy, that he comes here and to accept what is being taught.

Parents- Sure, thank you very much. What you are doing now is something more than wonderful. You devote your time to help your brothers and make them strong and cultivate confidence in them. It is good to have people like you.

Thank you very much for your wonderful words, I did not do anything, it is my duty to help them so that they do not live the same that I went through before in my childhood, there was no one to help me and encourage me except my family. So I decided to stand up and help those like me so that they do not feel lonely, I want from the world to see what we can do and know that we can succeed and live with them. Mateo is very lucky to have parents like you who help and stand with him, always be like this and don’t leaving him alone.

Every time I meet new parents and see them clinging to their children, and they struggle to make sure that their children live in a good environment that is accepting their own situation, I feel very happy for them.

When I saw them, I remember my family and how they were always supportive with me, their rejection at the beginning was due to trauma, but after it came great love and attachment, I am lucky because they are my parents. I hope all children have strong parents and love them despite all the differences.

I was excited to spend a new day in the center with the children and to receive a new case, I started reading the case file to prepare myself to deal with a new friend who will visit me today. My new friend today is Emily. She is in the first-grade suffering from lack of acceptance in school, so the students don't accept her because of her special condition and they feel afraid of her, these behaviors affected her and she doesn’t want to go to school anymore, Because of what students are doing for her. So, the mother decided to look for special centers near her, and she found our center and sent us an email explaining the child's cases and asking for help.

The bell rang, they arrived, I welcomed them, the mother thanked me for the quick answer and invited them to the office.
- Hello beautiful, what's your name?
- Hello, I'm Emily
- What a nice name, I'm Luna, what would you like to do?
- I like to draw and paint
- Very nice. Would you like to go to the library? There are a lot of colors and coloring books
She started clapping and laughing and she was so excited. We smiled and walked away. There were some children in the library reading books and drawing, when she saw them, she stepped back and was tense and afraid to laugh at her.
- Don't be afraid, they are nice, come sit together
She began by quietly coloring one of the drawings, she was very careful with the coloring and took care of the edges of the painting, she liked the arrangement and preserved the beauty of the painting, I asked one of the teachers to sit next to her so that she would not be afraid.
I went back to her mother
- Sorry, I was late. I did not leave her until I made sure that she was stable
- Thank you, I noticed that she accepted the place
- Yes, tell me how her condition began to worsen, I noticed that she is social but afraid of children, as when she saw the children she changed and tried to come back, but I inducement her and sat with her a little.

- It started about a month ago since the beginning of the school, I noticed that she starts being absent for a couple of days, in the first two days she told me that she is tired, but on the third day she started crying and screaming and I make her to calmed down, I didn't insist on her, but in the next day I told her that I would go and spend the day with you. I wanted to see what’s happened to her at school, because she was very excited to go and start learning and meet a new friend at the beginning of school. The search period was difficult, as most of the schools rejected her, she was very sad every time they reject her, but when I found her school and finally that someone accept her, even though it required a lot of money, but upon seeing her smile, I decided to register her, thinking that they are good, but I discovered that they don't have enough experience to deal with these special cases.
The children have no idea that there will be a student who has a special case and different from them, all the time they are laughing or saying hurtful words and calling her a monster and screaming and scared her, and the teacher she has no experience and she can't control the situation either screaming or taking her out of class because she is crying.
Her condition was very sad and hard, I do not know how it lasted for a month in this situation, I blamed myself for not paying early attention and changing school.
