Kids, I don't pity you!

Today, we had a lecture about 'include children's voice'.
Talking about planning disabled people's own dreams, instead of only focusing on their needs.
It is wonderful to have disabled people the same rights to dream about their future.
But, I want you make your most effort to fulfill your dreams.
Kids, I don't pity you so that you got to work very hard (do your best) to catch your dreams.
I will also do my best to make sure you have the same opportunities as anyone else.
But look! everyone is working hard to catch their dreams and lots of them fail.
Therefore, you got to work as much as they do too! Maybe more!

Someday, if you fulfill your dreams, I want you to feel it's all your work and feel proud of it!
I hope no body will say: oh, it's just that s/he is lucky to have very supportive parents, or s/he is so lucky to have all those resources.
I want you proudly say, 'I made it all happen!'
